[1869 - Legendary showman Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr., born in Chicago.]

Teacher, Leave Them Kids Alone

O Sage, if thou my Teacher be,
Bring me all thy Humility.
Seize not my hand to lead me home.
But show me a Path, that I may find My way,
Alone.

"A guru gives us himself and then his system; a teacher gives us his subject and then ourselves."
