" From Student to Scholar is an extraordinary book. I have never seen anything like it." -- Leon Bramson, former chair, department of sociology and anthropology, Swarthmore College "Steven M. Cahn's guide to becoming a scholar-teacher is at once wise, pragmatic, and personal. It has none of that frozen, from-a-distance tone that can be so off-putting. Cahn has been there, done that, and retained his interest in it all. His epilogue about his own mentor is particularly warming." -- Mary Ann Caws, Distinguished Professor of English, French, and Comparative Literature, Graduate Center, City University of New York "Although the tone of this guide is practical and benignly ironic and wry, the book is at heart an idealistic love letter to the profession of scholar and teacher." -- Catharine R. Stimpson, University Professor, professor of English, and Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Science at New York University
