I've heard mentioned a number of times here about the "wonderful John MacDonald" at Tufts. Anyone care to elaborate on what makes him wonderful, in particular?

I'm reluctant to have my S choose a university based on only one professor. What happens if he/she retires, goes on sabbatical, gets lured away to another institution, or decides just to compose rather than teach?

MacDonald is listed as the only composition professor at Tufts. Is there more to the composition program than him?

Thanks!
