By the time T. J. Clark arrived at Harvard, I had finished my coursework. I could only work as one of his many teaching fellows and an auditor of three courses. Like many great teachers, Clark influenced a wide range of students outside his immediate orbit. In a program with other brilliant minds and accomplished lecturers, Clark was the best at drawing students into high level discussion. His presence transformed a somewhat traditional department into a more current and intellectually exciting program.
