Hobart Belknap

Agricultural Education, B.S., 1947

As a junior or senior in agricultural education, I had a class in “Methods of Teaching” by W.H. Lancelot probably in 1946 or 1947. It was the hour after lunch normally considered the “sleepy hour.” However, Dr. Lancelot made it so interesting that we were wide awake all through the hour. His class sessions were so absorbing that we were disappointed when the period was over.
