This year we felt lucky to have William Donahue on our staff. He has proved to be a popular instructor of Beginning German, who taught our Winter Session course as well. He will be finishing his Ph.D. at Harvard this June with a thesis on Elias Canetti. We wish him well as he goes on to Rutgers University. Our paths may cross in Konstanz, since Rutgers, like Wellesley has its program abroad there. Alles Gute!
After another three-year term as chair of the department Margaret E. Ward is turning the baton over to Thomas S. Hansen. This year Margaret has been active in the college-wide curricular review and has introduced a German cinema course. Her writing course, Views of Berlin, utilizes the Daedalus Integrated Writing System and meets in a fully networked electronic classroom.
