Faculty members make for great memories

Seldon Strother

Professor was 'Always There'

Dr. Seldon Strother (assistant professor of curriculum and instruction and director of the Educational Media Center) taught at both Athens and the Zanesville campus ‹ where I met him. He had three sayings I remember:

"You have to flunk an insanity test to be a librarian/media person. That way we don't have to worry about going insane."

"The old saying is 'If you talk to yourself, you are insane,' but a media specialist must talk to themselves, and answer back, to get the job done."

And his favorite one (for me only): "Don't think about it, just do it."

I often use all three and have tried to live by the last. If I stop to consider all the options ‹ I'm in trouble.

He was always there for us, even after graduation.
