Yes, I remember him very well- Professor Harold Hill . He was my Psychology Of
Personal Adjustment instructor for one memorable semester at the Community
College of Rhode Island.
Last week he had an article published in " Psychology Today " offering expert advice on combating violence in the workplace, now a national epidemic.
Wrote Professor Hill: " People have pressures and problems at work and haven't
learned how to deal with them in a non-violent way".
I recall the good professor evicting me from his classroom the very first week. He was convinced that I had plagiarized my essay on " hippies" and the peace
movement. When I PROVED that I had in fact written the essay, he gave me an A+ and recommended that I read, "Dianetics " by Ron Hubbard,the founder of scientology.
He also gave me this bit of avuncular advice:" Stay off the front page of the
Providence Journal ! "
Professor Hill himself made the front page this morning: " Distraught Professor
Murders College President and Four Others ". He was upset because an outspoken opponent of his beloved scientology was promoted
to the top position in the Psychology Department.
