Dr. George M. Baker Dean Dr. Baker has spent his entire life in educational work (with the exception of several years during which he was connected with the American expeditionary force in France). He graduated from Yale University in 1900, obtaining his Ph.D. degree from that institution a few years later. For nine years he was an instructor of German at Yale, after which he became head of the German Department at the William Penn Charter School, Philadelphia. During this period he also studied at the Universities of Berlin and Munich. Dr. Baker came to Sewanee in 19 17 as professor of Germanic languages and was appointed dean of the College of Arts and Sciences in 1920. During the ten years he has held this position the requirements for entrance, classroom work and degrees have been raised considerably, the number of transfer students has been reduced and the general scholastic tone of the college has been improved. During the war Dr. Baker was connected with the General Staff College of the American expeditionary force in France, later seeing general staff duty in Germany with the army of occupation. He is well known as a student of Germanic literature, being the editor of Ger- man Stories and Kleist ' s Prinz von Hotnnurg. He has also contributed articles to the Journal of Germanic Philology, Modern Philology, the Sewanee Re view and Modern Language Notes. Because of his knowledge of international affairs, Dr. Baker was sent to Geneva by the Carnegie Institute for International Peace in 1927 for the purpose of studying the organization of the League of Nations, World Court and other institutions.
