Weber recalls arriving at Oxford in 1996 to study ancient and modern history, with Price teaching him Aristotle in one-on-one tutorials. Though initially hesitant to switch to modern history, Weber was met with unwavering support from Price, who encouraged him to follow his passion. Weber highlights Price’s unique approach to mentorship, emphasizing his ability to nurture students’ potential rather than molding them in his own image. He admired Price’s restraint in not micromanaging and his patience in allowing students to develop their own ideas. Price’s thoughtful pauses during conversations, rather than immediate responses, taught Weber the value of deep listening and constructive feedback. One of the most profound lessons Weber learned from Price was about admissions at Oxford. Price believed in selecting students based on potential rather than current academic performance, focusing on those who would develop into top scholars over time, particularly those who had faced adversity. This philosophy left a lasting impression on Weber, shaping his own approach to mentorship and academia. Weber expresses eternal gratitude for Price’s guidance and wisdom.\n
