Summary:

Alex Michalos wondered what Fellows of the Royal Society of Canada would say, if asked to describe their "best teacher" and what their answers would disclose about the effect these best teachers had on the lives of some of Canadaʼs most renowned scholars. Names range from C.S. Lewis to J.R.R. Tolkien, from Northrop Frye to Robertson Davies, from A.S.P. Woodhouse to Charles Best to Karl Popper, Bruce Chalmers, and many, many others.
