Guidance

bear leader The traveling tutor or guardian of well-heeled, aristocratic youths of the 18th century. Horace Walpole used the term in his Letters to Sir Horace Mann (1749):

She takes me for his bear-leader, his travelling governor.

The phrase is said to have come from the old practice of leading muzzled bears around the streets and having them perform in order to attract attention and money.

hand on the torch To pass on or transfer the tradition of enlightenment and knowledge to succeeding generations. The allusion is to the ancient Greek torch races, precursors of the Olympics, in which a lighted torch was passed from one runner to the next in the manner of modern-day relay races. Because of the brilliance of its light, the torch has long been symbolic of enlightenment and learning. The expression dates from at least 1887.

lick into shape To make suitable or presentable; to develop, mold, or give form to. This expression refers to the belief, prevalent until the 17th century, that bear cubs are born as amorphous masses that assume the normal ursiform appearance only if they are licked into shape by their mother. This mistaken assumption was based on information in The History of Animals by Aristotle (384-327 B.C.) and The Canon of Medicine by Avicenna (979-1037), an Arab physician. Despite its unsound origin, the expression is extremely common.

Their proposals … would be licked, by debate … into practicable shape. (The Spectator, December 12, 1891)

The French expression ours mal léché ‘an improperly licked bear’ is used colloquially to describe a boorish person. Whip into shape and beat into shape are variations of lick into shape which refer to a different definition of lick, i.e., ‘to strike or hit,’ yet they retain the connotation of the original expression.

take in tow To guide, lead, take charge of, or assume responsibility for. Originally said of pulling a vessel through water with a rope, this expression applies figuratively to one person leading another. This use of take in tow dates from the 18th century.

A young lama … took me in tow, and conducted me to all the tents. (James Gilmour, Among the Mongols, 1883)

Current usage frequently implies a need for discipline and control.

take under one’s wing To protect, care for, or watch over; to nourish or nurture; to rear, teach. This expression alludes to a mother hen’s protecting her chicks by taking them under her wing.

I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings … (Matthew 23:37)

They fled for their lives to find safety under Pompey’s wing in Capua. (James Froude, Caesar; A Sketch, 1879)

Although implying protection, take under one’s wing is most often applied in contexts where an experienced person takes it upon himself to show a neophyte “the ropes.”
