Emphasis Preaching Journal

In 1913, after serving as President of the United States, William Howard Taft accepted a position at his alma mater, Yale College. He became Kent Professor of Law in Yale College and also professor of constitutional law at Yale Law School. At first Taft was a dull and an unexciting teacher. He used the recitation method, keeping close to the textbook and making a few personal comments. Once the novelty wore off of having a former president as a teacher, the students became bored with the class.
