German, Linguist To Be Professors

Two noted scholars, the Rev. Dr. William L. Moran and Karl Siegfried Guthke, have been elected to Harvard professorships.

Moran, an authority on the Hebraic and non-Hebraic languages of the Middle-East, will become professor of Assyriology. He has been a lecturer with the Faculty since 1966.

Guthke, now a professor at the University of Toronto, will become professor of German Literature, effective July 1. His publications include Modern Tragi-Comedy and Wege zur Literatur, a collection of essays.

David H. Horne, assistant director of editorial affairs at the Harvard University Press, has been appointed associate director of that company. He succeeds Mark Carroll, the newly named director.

Horne, a former executive editor of the Yale University Press, is the author of Life and Works of George Peele. His short stories have appeared in various magazines.
