A passion for teaching
American philosopher and poet George Santayana (1863-1952) said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it," a phrase used to great effect by men like Winston Churchill, as well as author William Shirer in his seminal account, "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich."
Here is a history professor who really, really cared about the importance of remembrance; none of his students ever forgot this lecture.
Mild profanity.
