[quote=Anonymous]I work in senior administration in a college. When I first speak to a professor, I call them Dr or professor. It is just the culture of academics. When academics speak about each other, they also use titles, and not first names. They also use titles like Provost, Dean etc. The use of formal titles is just part of the culture. Once I know someone well, I use their first name if speaking only to them but will still refer to them by title if addressing them in a meeting or to students or others.[/quote]
