I want to tell the story of a semitraumatic experience that I had teaching a class on social psychology on the undergraduate level at Duquesne University. It was one of those events, neither planned nor anticipated, that befalls us. Yet, in coping with the contingencies that arose, I learned a lot about the students, myself, and the scholarly discipline.
