The sad start of "publish or perish."

    I thought the Latin word for "Professor" is "Magister".

    My understanding is that magister/magistra is teacher/master and professor is professor

    As I understand it "professor" is a public teacher, someone whose profession is teaching; while "magister" is a master, superior, leader etc in a wide sense, which also may include the special sense of teacher/instructor/tutor (professional or not).

      Normally this guy does a great job of clearly enunciating Latin words, but in this case it sounded like "Professorae ger non scribit."
