In the Fall of 1928 he came to Hobart. In 1936, with the division of the History Depart- ment, Dr. VanDeusen became Chairman of the Department of American History. Although teaching has occupied most of his lime, he has been able to lake several trips lu Europe, and one to the Middle East. In the last twenty years he has lectured throughout the United States—usually on American Foreign Policy. He is also an author, having written: Loyalist, in London, The Antebellum Southern Commer- cial Conventions, The Economic Bases of Dis- union, Broivn Bomber, and Black Man in White America, which was published in the early thirties, and wholly rewritten and published under the same title in the early forties. Going to press this Spring is Dr. VanDeusen’s seventh book, a college text on United States History in the twentieth century, which is, at the moment, titleless. He has written numerous pamphlets for state historical societies, and has done a number of book reviews for Annals of Ameri- can History, and was a contributor to the Dic- tionary of American History, and the Dictionary of Biography. At Hobart, Dr. VanDeusen has taken great in- terest in honorary societies and fraternities, founding Pi Gamma Mu, a Social Science honor society, and Tau Kappa Alpha, an honorary forensic society. In 1944, he wras initiated into Theta Delta Chi, thereafter being one of its most devoted members and capable advisors. We students will remember him as a teacher and master of laconic speech, which he punc- tuates with his characteristic Cheshire grin—and perhaps we will remember a little American History. To him and to his achievements as a man, as a teacher, and as a scholar, this book is dedicated. EATON HOUSE lN MEMORY OF ELON H. EATON REMODELED 1956-ay BY the alumni OF (OBART COLLEGE
