Rutten Teaching Dossier Mission statement ----------------- The motto of my teaching is summarized by the last sentence of the inaugural address of my father M.G. Rutten on December 10, 1951 as professor of geology at Utrecht University, to the students: "Uw studie zal leiden tot een uitzwermen naar alle windstreken. Het is daarom nodig dat U en ik alle krachten inspannen om het toekomstige exportartikel dat gijzelf zijt, van de allerbeste kwaliteit te doen zijn." Translation: "Your study will make you spread worldwide. Therefore, you and I must do our very best to make the export product that you represent of the highest quality". Indeed, all my students with a solar physics career work abroad. There is virtually no solar physics anymore in The Netherlands.
