• W748335715 abstract "Sam Schuman was not only the best of us but represented the best of what the National Collegiate Honors Council is and does. At my first NCHC Conference in Baltimore in 1990, I became devotee of Beginning in Honors, one of Sam's most brilliant gifts to NCHC and to honors administrators and faculty I attended BIH sessions faithfully, ultimately becoming regular co-leader of one of the two BIH workshops for colleagues from two-year institutions. Through the years, I remain grateful for that solid foundation in honors and for my initiation into the practice of sharing information, which was and remains the lifeblood of BIH and NCHC One of my earliest personal memories of Sam, however, occurred at the pool of an NCHC conference hotel decades ago. Sam was swimming in one of the lanes. His freestyle stroke was meticulous and smooth and quick as he notched lap after graceful lap. In the next lane, I thrashed my way through the water as I still do, breathing improperly or holding my breath and reaching wildly, then changing strokes in mid-lap like some hapless bug trying to stay afloat. I read the first draft of If Honors Students Were People: Holistic Honors Education, I understood that Sam's adeptness as swimmer was part of his life story. In the monograph, he writes, When I was little boy, I always wanted to be gym teacher when I grew up (67). That Sam was an unabashed fitness fanatic underscores the significance of his helping to establish wellness facility for the university and the community while serving as Chancellor at the University of Minnesota, Morris, and having the new athletic center at the University of North Carolina, Asheville, dedicated to him in 2013. He was Renaissance man like his two favorite authors: Vladimir Nabokov and, literally, William Shakespeare. His final book was on those two authors (Bloomsbury 2014), and Sam once served as President of the Vladimir Nabokov Society. If Honors Students Were People was the last of three monographs that I worked on with Sam in my position as General Editor of the NCHC Monograph Series; the others were the fourth edition of Beginning in Honors in 2006 and the third edition of Honors Programs at Smaller Colleges in 2011. I like to think that Sam and I developed wonderful rapport when collaborating on texts. His writing was always smart and wise and often profound, and I could always count on his prose to be delightfully quirky in places, sometimes flittering with commas so idiosyncratically placed as to leave me quizzical at their placement and the logic behind it Sam handled my emendations and me as the ultimate gentleman would: he let me moderate the quirkiness in places and left the commas and the machinations of MLA to me, and our gentlemanly duels over the occasional passage were more genteel and scholarly than duelistic. Sam finished polishing If Honors Students Were People while undergoing debilitating medical protocols for lung cancer that would buy him time but no hope for cure. He battled on courageously and without complaining to me about my seemingly endless questions, working when he had the wherewithal while trying to lead, as he called it, a normal life. His monograph was printed in time to debut at the 2012 New Orleans conference, which Sam told me in advance would be the last he would attend. The final project that Sam and I worked on together also reached its culmination in New Orleans and involved opposing the movement by NCHC toward becoming certifying body and thus radically altering the nature of the organization. Offering letter in opposition to certification/accreditation from former NCHC presidents was the brainchild of Joan Digby and Ada Long, but the key to its influence was Sam's presentation of it to the other former presidents and ultimately to the membership. The impact of the letter rested in Sam's intellectual rigor and integrity and also his openness The letter was accessible to the entire membership, which is the way Sam liked to operate--in the open. …" @default.
