    (Department of Economics, Macquarie University)

Examining George Stigler's teaching career clarifies the requirements for an effective teacher of graduate economics and especially sheds light on the nature of Ph.D. supervision. The heterogeneous composition of graduate students in aggregate means that quite distinct approaches can prove to be equally successful.
