Nick Mount is one of the best teachers in Canada. Students love him and crowd his lectures by the hundreds. Professor Mount, who teaches English at the University of Toronto, sees teaching as an act of ennoblement, an invitation to students to become part of an intellectual conversation. For Nick Mount and his students, the formula works."
