		Mark Twain smiles constantly at the absurd in Tom’s character, but he portrays him in the dignity of full length; he does not laugh him into insignificance or lecture him into the semblance of a puppet.
		Mark Twain, though for the time being he had relapsed to the shiftless lingo of his boyhood companion, was after all acting Huck for the sake of interpreting him; and interpretation enlarges the thing interpreted.
		Mark Twain, who had no more than an amateur’s learning in ethical systems, believed his doctrine of scientific determinism to be far more novel and contributory than it was.

	Columbia College Today
		But the reason Van Doren’s students loved him had little to do with his relatively high public profile and even less with his poetry, which many regarded as orthodox and lyrical at a time when modernity itself seemed to require a rough assault on poetic convention.
		No, the reason Van Doren exerted such a strong force on students, especially those with big literary and intellectual ambitions, was that he had no agenda, no outsized ego, and he treated them as grown-ups.
		It intimates that Van Doren’s influence on Berryman was the equal and the opposite of Schwartz’s, and a counter-balance to it.

		Van Doren's research into the early development of germ cells recently won him a prestigious Pew Scholar's Award in the Biomedical Sciences, which includes a four-year grant that annually will provide Van Doren with $60,000 in research funding.
		Van Doren's efforts, and those of other germ cell researchers, may one day help open up new avenues to treatments for developmental disorders and fertility problems.
		At that point, Van Doren suddenly found his work proving a point well-known to scientists but little recognized elsewhere: Basic science may have finding an answer to a question as its only priority, but the mystery of an unanswered question sometimes hides potentially fruitful connections to applied problems in science.

	Mark Van Doren Summary
		Mark Van Doren(June 13, 1894 – December 10, 1972) was a Pulitzer Prize -winning poet and critic.
		The poems of Mark Van Doren seem to be written in the rough music or muted undertone of a doubting intellect, the scraping, sad music of waves upon a rock barren of all but that dark music.
		But the imagery provides a mystical lighthouse evoking some altogether different world, even one which is acknowledgedly of the past, for many of the images relate to those things which, secular of nature, have disappeared or are about to disappear from a universe of the known objects into the unknown.

	The Mentor: An Academic Advising Journal
		Mark Van Doren and Dan Walsh figure significantly in the life of the Trappist monk Thomas Merton.
		Van Doren was an English professor who offered, according to Merton, explorations “about any of the things that were really fundamental – life, death, time, love, sorrow, fear, wisdom, suffering, eternity.” But Van Doren's influence was felt beyond the classroom as well.
		I'm thinking about Morrie, Mark, and Dan these days because of a growing conviction I have that teaching, when done well and faithfully, when done as a vocation and not merely as the way to earn respect, a paycheck, and a pension, involves spiritual guidance.
