THREE PROFESSORS IN UNIVERSITY TO RETIRE

Three University professors, Paul H. Hanus, Edwin H. Hall and Edward S. Sheldon '72 will retire from active teaching at the end of the year, and each of them has been appointed professor emeritus by the Governing, Boards of the University.

Professor Hanus was born in Silesia, came to this country at the age of four years, and was graduated from the University of Michigan in 1878. His connection with the University dates from 1891, when he became assistant professor of the History and Art of Teaching. Ten years later he was advanced to a full professorship. He is well-known for his contributions to educational theory and his work in connection with school inquiries and surveys, and he played a large part in the movement which led to the founding of the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

He holds the Rumford Professorship of Physics. He is a member of many learned societies and the author of several books on physics. He was among the first to volunteer for police duty during the Boston police strike two years ago, despite his 64 years.

Professor Sheldon is now in his forty-fourth year of teaching at the University and has held the professorship of Romance Philology since 1894. He is the author of books and monographs on philological subjects.
