Dr. Myhrman received his A.B. degree at the University of Minnesota where he majored in Swedish and German literature. Later he acquired his M.A. in international economics at the University of Pennsylvania and his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago, writing on the field of nationalism. After two years of secondary school teaching, Dr. Myhrman joined the faculty at Bates as an assistant professor in the Department of Economics and Sociology in 1925. He served as the guest lecturer at Aho Akadimi in Finland and as a visiting Professor of Sociology at the University of Hawaii while on sabbatical in 1950. In that year he was also appointed chairman of the Division of Social Sciences at Bates. An active participant in civic activities, Dr. Myhrman was a mem- ber of Governor Hildreth's Committee on Delinquency and he served two terms as president of the Maine State Conference of Social Welfare CMaine Welfare Associationj . His other interests include the Lewiston- Auburn Community Chest, the Lewiston-Auburn Social Workers Club and the Rotary Club. His sociological writing and his participation in college and com- munity endeavors have not distracted him from the field of teaching and student relations. Many times we have been graciously received into his home and have been the recipients of his guidance and concern. We are proud to have been associated with Dr. Myhrman during our years at Bates.
