S.I. Hayakawa

I was saddened to learn of the death of Hayakawa. While attending University of Wisconsin extension classes at Manitowoc, Wis., in 1937, I had the good fortune of having him as an instructor. As I recall, the courses I took from Hayakawa were English literature and creative writing. My fellow students and I found Hayakawa to be an excellent teacher. In addition to a fine command of his subject, his enthusiasm was contagious, and his sense of humor, contrary to his tendency to nod off at faculty meetings in later years, kept his students wide awake.
