Faculty on Leave To Travel Widely
PLANS FOR this year's second-semester sabbatical leaves are, in many instances, continuations of faculty studies interrupted by the war. Research projects will be undertaken in this country as well as abroad; in many cases, travel will be combined with research and writing.
Arthur B. Meservey '06, Professor of Physics, who has a great interest in photography, expects to be on hand when the Arizona desert "blossoms like a rose," to record the unusual colors visible only in the early spring. He hopes also to visit photographic laboratories at Colorado College and the Universities of Rochester and Wisconsin; and to attend some of the courses in Physics for non-science students, which were originally tried out with success in the West.
For the purpose of visiting and inspecting industries and universities, Joseph J. Ermenc, Professor of Mechanical Engineering in the Thayer School, will go to France, Italy, and Austria. Others who look forward to resuming studies abroad are Francois Denoeu, Professor of French, who will spend time travelling in France, taking courses and doing research in the Sorbonne; and Robert A. McKennan '25, Professor of Sociology, who hopes, besides some travel in Europe, to undertake field research in the Arctic or sub-Arctic. James L. Scott, Professor of German, will visit Italy, and study German drama at the University of Innsbruck or Vienna.
In this country, Louis O. Foster, Professor of Accounting in the Tuck School, will continue his work as consultant to the Atomic Energy Commission, revise his text book on accounting, and study accounting courses as presented in several colleges and universities. Other faculty members who will combine travel with study and writing in their special fields are Norman K. Arnold, Professor of Zoology; Leroy J. Cook, Professor of Romance Languages; Henry M. Dargan, Willard Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory; J°hn G. Gazley, Professor of History; Martin L. Lindahl, Professor of Economics; Alvin L. Pianca '23, Professor of Italian; John V. Neale, Professor of Speech; and Wayne E. Stevens, Professor of History.
