Professor Marsh Resigned

Professor Arthur R.Marsh has resigned from his position as head of the Department of Comparative Literature. His resignation was unexpected, as this department was founded by him and he was deeply interested in his subject.

Professor Marsh graduated from Harvard in 1883. He was elected professor of English and Belles Lettres in the University of Kansas in 1886, and remained there until 1889, when he went abroad to travel and study. On his return to this country in 1891 he was made assistant professor of Comparative Literature at Harvard. For several years he has been a corresponding member of the Spanish Academy. He was an associate editor of Johnson's Encyclopaedia, and he has also contributed to the leading American magazines.
