- Prof. Rosegrant. . . "American Lit Re-lit" AN AMERICAN HUMORIST who is by profession a professor of college English only recently published a book entitled "American Lit Re-lit." We at San Carlos hope that the assignment of Professor William R. Rosegrant to our English staff for the current school year will have the effect of re-lighting our students' interest in American Literature. Pro fessor Rosegrant is an expert in American Literature and especially in modern American fiction. Professor Rosegrant, whose home School is Western Michigan Uni versity in Kalamazoo, is the third Fullbright professor to be assigned to the English staff of the University of San Carlos. He will stay with us for two semesters. During the first semester he is handling three courses: A Survey of American Literature, Major American Writers and Modern American Fiction. Professor Rosegrant was born in Glen Elder, Kansas, 46 years ago. He majored in English and Philosophy at Central College, Fayette, Mis souri, where he obtained his B.A. His M.A. in English was obtained at the University of Chicago. He took part in the American Studies program of the University of Minnesota. He has taught at the University of Denver, Oklahoma, A. and M. College, the University of Minnesota and at Western Michigan University where he holds the rank of Associate Professor. For several years Professor Rosegrant has been in charge of the Educational T.V. program of his home university. Local students who must work for their education can take inspira tion from Professor Rosegrant's example. Throughout his college studies he was entirely self-supporting. He has worked in factories, in farms, in offices. Thus he brings to the teaching profession more than an academic understanding of American life and culture. Professor Rosegrant comes highly recommended by his American colleagues. They stress not only his wide academic training but his great respect for other people and his admirable warmth. Because of his natural ability to mix well with peoples of other cultural and racial backgrounds, I am sure Professor Rosegrant will find his stay among the hospitable Cebuanos both rich and rewarding. To Professor Rosegrant, to his wife Ruth and to his five lovely children — Ann, Mark, John, Susan and Jane — all Carolinians extend a warm welcome. Page Twenty THE CAROLINIAN Aug.-Sept., 196
