| Description | Dr. J. Milton Skeath, left, is honored at his retirement celebration. He received a gift from the faculty and tributes from Dr. George K. Shortess and Lycoming College President, Dr. D. Frederick Wertz. Dr. Skeath came to Dickinson Seminary as a mathematics instructor in 1921, after his graduation from Dickinson College. After the seminary became a junior college, he added psychology to his degrees, receiving his doctorate from Pennsylvania State University. He served as a Dean of the College five times, covering a period of 16 1/2 years, and as chairman of the psychology department. He received an honorary Doctor of Letters at the 1967 commencement. Dr. Skeath retired in 1967 after 47 years of teaching. One of his former students, John B. Willmann, '38, wrote about him in the December, 1964 Lycoming Bulletin, ' … there was the fortuitous good fortune to be associated with the man who could smile (there's usually a twinkle in his eyes), who could turn a deft phrase, who could be articulate without being oratorical and who could inflict a needed gibe and an inspiring compliment when either one was warranted.' |
