A most persuasive argument - introduction; caught and held by a cobweb - getting the student started; the balance between tradition and progress; designing and planning a project; old manuscripts - the literature review; heavy and thankless task - overseeing the data collection; disagreeableness and danger - keeping up student motivation; contorted corkscrew - the getting and giving of judgement - an emotional excitement - writing up the thesis; a lack of genuine interest - chossing the right external and preparing the student for the examination; the brave pretence at confidence - launching students' careers; a rather unpromising consignment - selecting successful students and building a research culture.
