Professor Mueller proves that in contemporary higher education, students can come first. While Madison Avenue constantly searches for new ways to advertise and reach today's college students, Mueller already understands how to bridge their world to his. We are both proud to have learned from him and will continue to apply his lessons in our lives. History should be either an interesting story, or a help in understanding how people behave under various conditions. His course was neither.
Nobody really thinks in such terms, yet the statement is completely true. . . .
If I had lived in any other, by now I would be either dead or blind. I then go on to explain that I have two chronic medical conditions, hypertension and glaucoma, and that the sustaining medications for both were unknown until the middle of this century. But, of course, I often complain about the nuisance of having to remember eye drops and pills every day. C'est la vie. I had to write in response to the Winter edition, not only because one of my favorite professors, John Mueller, was on the cover and featured inside, but because there was also included an article on the man who was my boss for almost two years, Karl Kabelac, special collections librarian at Rush Rhees Library.
