Tu DR. WILLIAMS M. MITCHELL We The Staff ui The 1961-1962 PANIJURA Grateiully and Sincerely Dedieate this hook: Any student of Washington and Jefferson College, undergraduate and alumni alike, who has had the privilege of attending a course or who has participated in an informal discussion with Dr. Williams McLean Mitchell cannot help but be left with an impressive image of this man. Through his fifteen years of dedicated service to the general academic betterment of the college stu- dent, Dr. Mitchell, as Chairman of the History De- partment, has created unknowingly a warm and lasting impression of himself and his conception of the ideals of education. Of course his first and foremost duty at The Col- lege is getting the subject of history across to his many students by means of formal lectures and individual discussion, this having been satisfactorily accom- plished, Dr. Mitchell becomes active in many other areas. He serves The College as Chairman of the Arts and Lectures Series Committee. He is an active mem- ber of the following honoraries: Phi Alpha Theta, Alpha Phi Omega, Omicron Kappa Delta, Phi Beta Kappa, Pi Delta Epsilon and in addition to all this finds time to be active in both community and church projects. His wife and two children, nevertheless, see a great deal of him. Considering these facts, it is surprising to note that Dr. Mitchell has somehow found time to write and to have published a 209-page book entitled The Rise of the Revolutionary Party in the English House of Corn- mons, 1603-1629. The book was published in 1957. Dr. Mitchell, Chairman of the History Department, has served The College for 15 years. He is a graduate of Wesleyan University, where he was granted a bachelor's and Master's degree. His Ph.D. was conferred on him by Yale University. Dr. and Mrs. Mitchell relax at home.
