A Great Teacher Lost

Roderick Benns: Posted on Monday, January 30, 2012 9:39 PM
Last month I learned that my first year political studies professor,Rae Murphy, had passed away. Among many other books, Rae wroteBrian Mulroney: The Boy from Baie Comeau. He was an excellent teacher who kept his own politics (in his case, left leaning) out of the classroom and instead simply cultivated a strong love for Canada’s history within his students.
 
When it came time to pick a prime minister to write about, I didn’t want to pick one of the ‘greats’ so that my paper would stand out.
