Distinctive styles
"I find myself remembering with pleasure," wrote an anonymous HBS alumnus in a 1935 HBS Bulletin class note, "such matters as the stimulating paucity of stated opinion in Professor Ebersole's class; Doriot's studied technique of infuriating students into positive brilliance; Dewing grinning catlike behind his great black whiskers and reaching slyly out to give the student mouse one more poke with his paw; the synthetic rusticity of Cabot's approach, metaphor in hand, to disembowel regulatory stupidity at one stroke; 'Old Faithful' Callan spouting an aphorism a minute to lie and gleam like pearls before the swine; and Professor Sanders's tranquil lightning flickering urbanely among the control accounts." —An MBA '35 Alumnus' reflection on different faculty teaching styles
