Professor Harold Lutchman, a prophet without honour

Dec 10, 2013 Letters

 

DEAR EDITOR,
“A prophet is not without honour save in his own country and among his own kin”.  Jesus must have had the likes of Professor Harold Lutchman in mind when he said this.
In a rather belated— was beyond my own individual control— support of Avette Richards in Letters to the Editor of 1st and 6th November, 2013, I am appealing to the current Vice-Chancellor, Professor Jacob Opadeyi, and the powers that be, to recognize and acknowledge the sterling contributions made by Professor Lutchman to the development of the University of Guyana.
Avette Richards’ letters speak volumes about Professor Lutchman’s achievements. I need say no more.
As a matter of interest, Professor Lutchman has been contributing to the educational development of Guyana since the fifties as a teenager teacher. I do recall him, even then, being a “prophet without honour…save in his own country”.
Should he not be honoured, he should take comfort in the assurance that he is in the best company, that of Jesus himself.
