- W1566361163 abstract "S ome of his colleagues affectionately call him the Great Dane. The title describes Gordon Eriksen admirably. He towers over the crowd, is most solidly built, has a resounding voice, an infectious personality, and a definite presence wherever he goes. Born among the hearty Scandinavian souls of St. Paul, Minnesota, he and his family moved within a few years to Graham, Texas where he graduated from high school in 1939. Two years later, he began what would be a life-long association with institutions of higher education when he enrolled at the University of Oklahoma. The times, however, caught him up and after completing two years of college, he joined the U.S. Army Air Corps and served through World War II until 1946. With the useful assistance of post-war funding for veterans, he then returned to academic study and earned the first two of several degrees, a B.A. in English and, in 1950, the B.F.A. in drama. A few years of career exploration took him to the firm decision to become an educator. The first step included a teaching certificate in 1957, and into the classrooms of high schools across the country. As he notes, never had a class I did not like. Even the challenge of 26 high school senior boys who had been labeled Do Not Admits proved his love for teaching-and his ability to instruct and influence those who sat in his classes. During the 1950s, he began a correspondence with students, now friends, that continues to this day. Turning from high school to higher academe, Gordon took the time to complete a M.A. in English literature in 1967, 'and six years later, earned the Ph.D., also in English literature, from the University FRIENDS OF THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES" @default.
