13 Members of Faculty Bid Farewell To Their Posts This June and August

Thirteen permanent University faculty appointees will wave good-bye to lecture platform and office this June and August. Among those retiring officers are:

Edmund Morris Morgan. Morgan is stopping out of the Royall professorship of Law, the oldest law chair in the University. To students he was a short, slight, kindly man who underwent a schizophrenic change in the classroom which they claim he turned into "medieval horror chambers" by devilish cross examinations on court procedure.

His law colleagues recognize him for his work on the laws of evidence.

Publicity he is best known for his services as chairman of a special committee, appointed by President Truman, which drafted a "Uniform Code of Military Justice" in 1948.

So great was Morgan's mastery of courtroom procedure that in 1912, when he left a private practice in Duinth, Minnesota, a prominent state supreme court justice said "Ed Morgan is a fine man, but we are not sorry to see him leave. Now perhaps we can try a case on the merits rather than on procedure."

William Augustus Hinton. Dr. Hinton, when he was appointed Clinical Professor of Baoteriology and Immunology last year became the first Negro ever to hold a full professorship at Harvard. He spent his 25 years on the Harvard medical faculty almost exclusively in research on venereal diseases. Hinton helped perfect the Wasserman and developed the Hinton and the Davies-Hinton-tests for syphillis.

Chandler Rathfon Post. Post, the William Dorr Boardman Professor of Fine Arts, is one of the last survivors of the College's Kittredge-Copeland "Golden Age" faculty. He will close a 45 year teaching career here which he began by instructing in first English, then French, Italian, Greek Romance Language Literature, and finished with Fine Arts.

In his courses, Post brought a monumental general learning to bear on his specialty, the history of Spanish and American art and culture.

On the 57th street art market in New York, dealers respected and even loved him as a man who knew the business side of art backwards and forwards without ostentation.

Always a particularly faithful embodiment of Harvard's tough minded, dissenter tradition, Post displays his individualism winters by indulging a fancy for cold water bathing in the ocean off South Boston.

Henry Bryant Bigelow. Bigelow, Professor of Zoology, introduced oceanography to the University together with Alexander Agassiz and founded the Wood Hole Oceanographic Institute for study of marine life, Undoubtedly the world's greatest expert on jellyfish about which he once wrote a monograph, Bigelow was especially able at getting around the multi-syllabled terminology of oceanography and explaining the science in homespun style.

Norman Scott Brien Gras. Gras as Isidor Straus Professor introduced the study of Business History to the world in 1927. For his specialty, he developed a theory about the evolution of capitalism through five stages; petty, mercantile, industrial, financial, and national.

Arthur Stanley, Pease, For 18 years Pease taught Latin at the College with a Yankee twang and mentality. President of Amherst from 1927 to 1932, he fought off the declining popularity of the classics here by perfecting the techniques of teaching Latin composition as if it were a current course.

His amateur botanical tramps recently resulted in a volume of nature essays, Sequestered Vales.

Others retiring include: Thomas Lee Kelley, professor of Education, a joint author of the much used Standford Achievement Tests. Bremer Whidden Pond, Charles Eliot Professor of Landscape Architecture. Walter Eugene Clark, Wales Professor of Sanskrit. Kurt Hermann Thoma, Charles A. Brackett Professor of Oral Pathology. Langdon Warner, curator of the Oriental Department of the Fogg Museum,Elizabeth Bangs Bryant, assistant curator of insects, and James Lawder Gamble, professor of Pediatrics
