He has inspired students at all stages of their education, an in· spiration that also includes his professional colleagues and associates. We have heard from a variety of people outside the world of art history itself-painters, historians, even deans- all enthusiastic about a teacher whose teaching extends beyond the classroom, and beyond a narrow discipline. We honor him not merely for putting on a spectacular show, but also for that deeper and more serious rela­ tionship between a teacher and his pupils that marks those rare dedicated scholars who share their own growth with others. He is a teacher who allows students to grow in their own directions, and not one who stamps out miniature clones of the master. He also demonstrates that the best teachers teach through their publications, and that research :an be stimulated by bright undergraduates "as well as by graduate students, and be shared with them.
