Comments on: Dr. Barbara Hale, Missouri S&T physics professor, retires after 46 years of service https://news.mst.edu/2018/03/dr-barbara-hale-missouri-st-physics-professor-retires-after-46-years-of-service/ Your source for the latest from Rolla Wed, 28 Mar 2018 17:04:13 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.7 By: Emmett Redd https://news.mst.edu/2018/03/dr-barbara-hale-missouri-st-physics-professor-retires-after-46-years-of-service/#comment-128175 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 17:04:13 +0000 https://news.mst.edu/?p=21080#comment-128175 Congratulations Dr. Mrs. Hale. (That is what we students called her since there was also a Dr. Mr. Hale in the department and we had to differentiate somehow.)

I did not realize we both came to UMR at the same time (me as a freshman). I remember your Mathematical Physics classes and your offer to order pizza when you gave us extended time to finish an exam. I did not take you up on it; I had already emptied my head of everything I had pertaining to the exam.

I hope you enjoy your retirement; you deserve it.

She was an excellent educator and conveyed a love of learning and knowledge. Perhaps most impressive was the way she balanced her encouragement for academic rigor with an always kind and tactful demeanor; when I think of academic integrity I think of Dr. Hale. May you enjoy your retirement!
