"Is there any college that puts a premium on good teaching? Is there any university that rewards--in pay and promotion--outstanding teachers? Always and everywhere in academia, recognition, promotion, tenure depend on what a faculty member publishes.

Teaching? Exciting the minds of undergraduates? Turning them on to learning? Weighing pounds of print the way butchers weigh beef, faculty fathers more often butcher those who show brilliance in lecturing or in the classroom.

Publish or perish is an option. Teach well and perish is for sure."

--Malcolm S. Forbes (1980)
