SATHYENDRANATH BOSE |

| The
Ideal Professor In 1916 he started his career as a lecturer in the Science College of Calcutta University, which had just then been opened. Besides physics, he had to teach his mathematics students several other subjects related to mathematics. In those days there was not a single textbook in English on those subjects. How difficult it is to teach students without books, isn't it? And yet he solved every problem of the students and made everything clear. Bose used to say that any student should have confidence in himself. He used to give his students this advise often; do not accept a method of solving a problem just because it comes from some one in authority; accept it only if you areconvinced it is correct. He often advised them that they should not be satisfied with reading only the books, which they had to read; he told them they should be interested in several subjects and enlarge their knowledge. Students could freely approach him after college hours for guidance. Even when he was tired with the day's strenuous work in the college, he cordially welcomed them and taught them. |
