摘要

A recent segment of a news program on the American public TV network discussed a new phenomenon in higher education: the reluctance of older professors (denoted hereafter as "OPs") to retire at a customary age, say at 65. The program analyzed the effects of this curious phenomenon on the academic job market, on the university, on the individuals involved, and on the career of the unfortunate younger teachers waiting to occupy the positions to be vacated by the OPs. It did not, however, discuss the effects of the special teaching and research style of the OPs on the education process. The purpose of this article is to fill this gap, and to point out the main differences between the activities of OPs and regular professors (RPs). This is a major enterprise; to be comprehensive is practically impossible. Due to limited space we must confine our analysis to no more than a few important aspects, like the style of the OP's lecturing, his approach to reviewing journal papers, to being on Committees, and to guiding graduate students. We are highly qualified to provide such information, since we are both in our mid-eighties, and both are still active at our schools in England and the United States. Also, in case our first names do not provide sufficient evidence as to our gender, we wish to note here that we are both males, and thus will describe the activities of male OPs only. This is not because we are sexists; we just do not want to make general statements in a field where we have no personal experience.
