ELSE TO TAKE POST IN IOWA

Will Assume Duties as Head Of Classics Dept. After War

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Gerald Else '29, senior tutor of Winthrop House and instructor in Greek and Latin, has accepted an appointment as head of the classical language department at the State University of Iowa. He will not take over the post until after the war, however, since he has obtained a leave of absence to enter government service.

Else, who has been here for seven years, has already left for Washington to assume his duties there in liaison work with the War Department. After graduating from Harvard with a summa, he obtained his Ph.D. in 1934, spent a year traveling in Europe on a fellowship, and taught at Cambridge Junior College before joining the faculty.
