Teaching

In 1946 Underwood was appointed Dean of faculty and director of The University of Western Australia's Institute of Agriculture. Under Underwood, the Institute's teaching and research activities outstripped available resources, and he obtained support from CSIRO's Wool research fund. Underwood also presented a paper New Deal for Agriculture which secured additional funding from the University administration. This funding enabled additional staffing, and an increase in postgraduate studies. As a lecturer, Underwood's logical presentation made the most complex information easy to understand.

Famous quotes containing the word teaching:

    What is this? A new teaching -with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
    Bible: New Testament, Mark 1:27.

    Of Jesus after he had exorcized an unclean spirit.

    Raising human beings is a process of teaching children right from wrong and turning them into responsible individuals.
    Neil Kurshan (20th century)

    Dogmatic toleration is nonsense: I would no more tolerate the teaching of Calvinism to children if I had power to persecute it than the British Raj tolerated suttee in India. Every civilized authority must draw a line between the tolerable and the intolerable.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
