Dear Reader

I am the predecessor of Prof. Carlotta von Maltzan. I served as professor of German from 1973 - 2004, and I chaired of the departments of German from 1973 - 1996 and Modern Foreign Languages from 1996 - 2001. Before 1973 I was lecturer (1969 - 1970) and senior lecturer (1971 - 1972) in German. I gladly respond to Prof. von Maltzan's request to make my CV available on this website via the links below.

Because I realize that CVs tend to describe as singular personal achievements what, in fact, has been achieved by many, I am including a document called 'Highlights' in which I present some of the developments, activities and accomplishments which, I believe, distinguished my tenure, in the wider context of the human environment which fostered it.
