"In every class I teach I try to get on a one-to-onebasis with my students - that's the only way I knowhow to communicate/' said William Howard when askedto explain his success as a geographer-urban planner atthe University of Denver. Professor Howard came toDU in 1963 with a specialty in Geography/ UrbanPlanning and a desire to "exploit the opportunities ofa metropolitan area." He left in 1965 to work on aPhD at the University of Edinburgh. The exposure tothe strong British tutorial system brought him back toDU in 1968 with the conviction that keeping his officedoor open all the time was the only successful way tocommunicate with students.Assistant Professor of GeographyB.A., M.A.- University of DenveruJ~ ().46
