Certainly he did nothing to indicate to us that he had any such interest or to stimulate any such interest in his pupils.

He was strict to harshness in dealing with his class.

The only evidence of enthusiasm I ever witnessed in Dr.Beck was this: He brought into the classroom one day an old fat German with very dirty hands and a dirty shirt.
He had a low forehead and a large head with coarse curling hair which looked as if it had not seen a comb or brush for a quarter of a century.

We looked with amazement at this figure.

He went out before the recitation was over.
