Abstract:
Pitzer's article ("University integrity," Science, 11, Oct., p. 228) focuses in part on the critical dimension of student-faculty relationships. The faculty role is depicted as composed of two factors - teaching and research, not necessarily in that order of importance. I would like to emphasize a third equally important charge of faculty member - that is, the role of personal and educational counselor and adviser to the student. Any professor who is reasonably accessible personally and geographically will attest to the frequent, almost continuous, and apparently very important student-to-professor counseling sessions on every subject from personal problems to specialized career planning.
