Alumni: Nominate a Favorite Professor for Ubben Chairs
October 12, 2004
October 12, 2004, Greencastle, Ind. - DePauw University plans to honor deceased faculty members as Ubben Chairs in three departments this year: English, geosciences and modern languages. Alumni can nominate a favorite professor to have an endowed chair named in his or her honor in those disciplines.
In 2000, Timothy H. and Sharon (Williams ’58) Ubben ’58 (photo below right), established an endowment in order to support 15 faculty chairs to recognize deceased professors who enriched the University and its students over the years. As desired by the Ubbens, each of the chairs will be named for a deceased faculty member who distinguished himself or herself in maintaining high standards and
effective teaching and service to the department or discipline.
Thus far, Ubben Chairs have been named for Walter E. Bundy, religious studies; A.W. Crandall, history; Edward Myers Dolan, anthropology; Herrick H. Greenleaf, mathematics; Paul B. Kissinger, physics and astronomy; Hiram L. Jome, economics; Percy L. Julian ’20 in honor of Donald J. Cook, chemistry; Edwin L. Minar Jr., classical studies; Laurel H. Turk, modern languages; Kenneth S. Wagoner, psychology; Winona H. Welch, biology; and A. Reid Winsey, art.
