The late Alan Prince, editorial journalism instructor/professor at the U of Miami. In additional to sharing his love for the written word, he also taught us to respect the profession, respect ourselves, and to understand the press’ Constitutional responsibility to protect our country’s freedom.

Mr. Prince was an editor for The Miami Herald. He told us that he switched to a fresh French-cuffed shirt before class after putting the late edition of the paper to bed, because we were worth it. More importantly, he had us memorize the First Amendment and tested us relentlessly on every word and comma.
