Meet Your Faculty
By Dave Weekley
Almost every student on the
Behrend Campus has inquired at
one time or another about hand
some, well-dressed Mr. William
Hover. His courteous manner, his
genial personality, and his wealth
of knowledge about the arts have
made him the frequent target for
the questions of many curious
students. What about this man?
Through his patience and cooper
ation, for which he has my
thanks, I compiled the informa
tion below.
Mr. William A. Hover was born
in Birmingham, Alabama. Follow
ing high school, he served during
World War n in the Civil Affairs
Corps. During his torn: of duty
he spent two years in Europe and
was stationed in England, France,
Belgium, Germany, Austria, and
Italy, which explains his store of
first-hand information about
these countries. He also visited
and toured Mexico this past sum
mer.
In 1948 he graduated from the
University of Cincinnati where he
majored in French and minored
in Spanish. While teaching as a
fulltime instructor of romance
languages at the University of
n, ,
Hanging the Green
North Carolina, he studied for
his master of arts degree, which
he received in 1949, and contin
ued his work toward a doctor of
philosophy degree. He completed
these studies in 1951. He also
held a f ive-y ear concurrent
scholarship at the Cincinnati
College of Music and the Cincin
nati Conservatory of Music. After
teaching for two years as an as
sistant professor of romance
languages at Furman University,
Greensville, S. C., he came to the
Pennsylvania State University
where he now holds- the same po
sition.
His academic interests include
early 19th century French liter
ature, especially the French poets
of the Romantic period, and
Greek literature.
Besides his well-known musical
interests and participation in lo
cal musical affairs, Mr. Hover
mentions oil painting, ceramics,
high fidelity apparatus, and lapi
dary as his personal interests.
As the information would indi
cate, here is truly a man of cul
ture and the arts, a pleasant dis
covery in this age of machines
and running people. Mr. Hover
is surely our gain and Furman’s
loss.
