Finny's charismatic personality and complete enthusiasm
for everything he does affects his relationship with his instructors as well as with his
classmates. While he is not a scholar in the academic sense, Finny's teachers do not
demand more of him - he is not pressured to produce more in the classroom because the
teachers all are under the spell of his personality and are willing to allow him the
freedom they feel he deserves as they see the involvement in the war looming ever closer
for all their students. Finny sees most of the instructors as being somewhat out of
touch with the rapidly evolving events in the world but is willing to humor them and is
respectful, at least when they are present.
