From Student to Scholar

“Steven M. Cahn has had a long and distinguished career. Widely published, he is a philosopher and an astute student of education. He has also served as a leading administrator in foundations, government, and universities. In this book he devotes his wisdom and experience to the task of providing a road map for the men and women who want to join an ancient and usually honorable company—that of scholars and teachers.”


—Catharine R. Stimpson, university professor, professor of English, and dean emerita of the Graduate School of Arts and Science, New York University





“Steven M. Cahn’s guide to becoming a scholar-teacher is at once wise, pragmatic, and personal.”


—Mary Ann Caws, distinguished professor emerita of comparative literature, English, and French, City University of New York Graduate Center
