Description
Fred Newton Scott and John Harvey Kellogg: Conceiving the Teacher/Physician. Ivan Davis, Andrews University, English Department, Old U.S. 31, Berrien Springs, MI 49104 Of the clinical metaphors employed at various times in the history of writing instruction, the image of the "teacher/physician" is perhaps the most familiar, although the analogy has become a problematic one for more modem teachers of writing who prefer not to see their students as "patients" exhibiting symptoms of abnormal educational health. Interestingly, Fred Newton Scott, a long-time professor of rhetoric at the University of Michigan and an important figure in composition history, used the metaphor to inform his discussion of errors in student writing in two unpublished papers. Influenced by his friend and former teacher, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, the innovative chief physician at the Battle Creek Sanitarium during the late nineteenth and early twentieth-centuries, Scott appropriated a modern perspective on patient care that reinvigorated the "teacher/physician" metaphor for his time, and suggested a more humane approach to student errors in writing. Further, Scott used developments in late nineteenth-ce ntury biology to illuminate his discussion of student writing. Showing the extent of Kellogg's influence, Scott's work illustrates a complex web of thinking that weaves together aspects of rhetoric and science to help composition teachers approach their work from a reconceprualized viewpoint.
