In college one should address a professor as "Dr." or "Professor" rather than as "Mr.," "Ms.," Mrs.," or "Mrs." Some of us actually take offense at being addressed otherwise. I am perfectly comfortable with having my students address me by my first name -- Karl -- but do not like being called "Mr." Some professors do take offense if addressed by their first names -- for example, see Craig Hill's Rules of Academic Etiquette.
