Michael C. Flanigan Indiana University The use of models has been a mainstay of rhetoricians as far back as 3,000 B.C. when the Sumerians had students keep copybooks to imitate works central to the culture.' The Greeks, of course, are well known for advocating the use of models in discourse. Aristotle's Rhetoric is filled with examples worthy of imitation. The Romans, too, represented by Cicero2 and Quintilian3 thought highly of good models that would serve the aspiring rhetorician in perfecting the substance, shape and style of his discourse. The use of models has not decreased by any means today. Well known leaders in composition such as William F. Irmscher4 and W. Ross Winterowds
