German Professor Donates Rare Collection to Blegen Library
Professor Jerry Glenn, who will be retiring from the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures in January of 2003, has donated his substantial collection of materials on Paul Celan, one of the major German poets of the 20th century, to the Archives and Rare Book Department of Blegen Library.
This collection, to be called, the Jerry Glenn Collection, includes virtually all journal and newspaper articles on Celan including some that are relatively inaccessible, many dissertations that are not readily obtainable, as well as many book chapters. A substantial number of translations into English, and a smattering of translations into other languages are also present.

Growing up on Ludlow Ave. in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Clifton, Harrison Fowler had planned to enroll in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) at the University of Cincinnati. UC was close to home, and ROTC seemed like the right choice. But life had other plans. At the last minute, Fowler withdrew from ROTC and enrolled to earn his bachelor’s in Spanish, which meant he needed a study-abroad experience to complete his degree. He was apprehensive, but completed his requirement in Madrid, in a move that would change the direction of his life. Says Fowler of his foreign-language major, and his experience abroad: “Speaking another language opens up a whole other world and relationships for you.”
