Correspondence Faculty friends and mentors I very much enjoyed President Warch 's essay in the Winter 2000 edition of Lawrence Today. His thoughtful comments regarding the importance of the student/faculty relationship are much of what makes a Lawrence education so unique. As an undergraduate, I had numerous friends who chose to attend state universities. Their courses, while similar in title and content to mine, were taught by teaching assistantS. While my fiiends were lucky if they ever saw their professors, mine were available not only for classes but also for labs, tutorials, discussions, and as advisors. I now count them among my friends and most important mentors. I doubt my fi·iends could say the same.
