First Row: Mrs. Ralph Rieker, Francis W. Warlow, Eric W. Barnes Josephine B Meredith, Mrs. Charles Kepner. Standing: William Sloane, Ralph Schecter Amos B Horlacher DEPARTMENT UE ENGLISH In June, 1785, Dickinson became aware of its acute need for an English Depart- ment. Without delay, the Board of Trustees hired Robert Tait to provide a person capable of teaching to write and read English language with propriety and elegance. This first English Professor laid the foundation for the men who were to follow him, such as Aaron Rittenhouse, Bradford McI.ntire, and Montgomery Sellers. For many years the English Department was placed in the hands of Josephine Meredith who became the first and only female department head. In 1946 Dr. Eric Barnes succeeded Mrs. Meredith, taking over not only the leadership of the department, but also the advisory post for the Little Theater. Though the requirements have stiffened and new courses have been added, the department is still living up to the standard set with its origination-to make the speech and writing of the students not only correct but also eloquent.

DEPARTMENT 0F PSYCIIIILUGY llllll EIIUCATIUN Until 1922 the Department of Psychology and Education was included with Philosophy in the same department. This department was under the direction of such men as William Lambert Gooding and Wilbur A. Norcross. The department was independently established when Professor J. Carver, '09, came to the College. He remained until 1928 when Professor Russell I. Thompson, '20, became Head of the Department. In 1899 the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity was permitted to build a small lodge on the northeast corner of the college campus. During the administration of President Filler, 1928-1931, the College purchased the lodge and converted it into classrooms for the use of the Psychology Department. At the same time the College received the sum of 850,000 from the estate of Richard V. C. Watkins, '12. This sum was designated for the endowment of the Chair of Psychology and Education. Since his appointment as Head of the Department, Professor Thompson has also assumed the duties of Dean of the College. Richard H. Wanner, Benjamin D. James, Russell I. Thompson, J. R. Morrison.

Eaton Harold W Weigel, Robert M. Wise. DEPARTMENT UF LANGUAGE Over one hundred and fifty years ago, James Ross was elected by the Board of Trustees of the College to teach Greek and Latin at Dickinson. He resigned eight years later in 1792, complaining that the students did not have a sufficient background in English grammar. Ross was followed by Henry Whiting and Mervin Filler, who later became President of the College. The German language was of special interest to Dickinson students because of the many German settlers around the Carlisle area. For this reason, a German Depart- ment was begun when the College was founded. One of the outstanding heads of this Department was Dr. William Prettyman, who served as President of the College during the Second World War. At present, Dr. Arthur Bishop heads the Classical Language Department. Dr. Harold Weigle is head of the German Department. Professor john C. M. Grimm is in charge of the Romance Language Department. The most recent addition to the College language curriculum is the Department of Russian, headed by Professor Daniel Zaret.
