years ago, I have not forgotten his 37 qualities. First of all, I respected his 38 to teaching. Because his lectures were
always well-prepared and clearly delivered, students crowded into his
classroom. His followers liked the fact that he 39 what he taught. Furthermore, he could be counted
on to explain his ideas in an 40
way, introducing such aids to 41 as oil paintings, music, and guest
lecturers. Once he 42 sang a song in class in order to make a
point clear. 43 , I admired

44 the telephone. Drinking coffee in the
cafe, he would easily make friends with students. Sometimes he would 45 a student to a game of chess. 46 , he would join student groups to
discuss a variety of 47 : agriculture, diving and
mathematics. Many young people visited him in his office for 48 on their studies; others came to his home

during it, the students and the professor 51 at least one loud 52 . Through his sense of humor, he made
learning more 53 and more lasting. If it is 54 that life makes a wise man smile and a
foolish man cry, 55 my friend is indeed a wise man.
