The average professor today is not a scholar. He is ready to do research only as long as it is necessary for promotion. Once he becomes a full professor and has tenure, he becomes disinterested in learning, because his world is a better hiding place from education than a place for education. Few professors are adequate teachers; they are not enough interested in either teaching or scholarship to do more than go through the motions.
