The Doily Nebroskon
Russian
Instructor
Appointed
William Gibbon, a 33-year-old
native Nebraskan, has
been named the new Russian
instructor at the University.
He will teach first and sec
ond year Russian and some
classes in German. Dr. Wil
liam Pfeiler, chairman of the
German department, said that
a third year of Russian may
be added to the curriculum
during the 1960-61 school year,
making it possible for stu
dents to minor in the lan
guage. "Russian is not as difficult
to read as German," Gibbon
said, explaining that the lan
guage has gained a reputa
tion of being an extremely dif
ficult Oriental language. "Ac
tually, the language can be
considered a first cousin of
the English language."
He said that the two years
of Russian offered here will
give the student a good foun
dation in reading, writing and
conversation.
A native of Harvard who
spent his boyhood at Sioux
City, la., Gibbon completed
his undergraduate studies at
Georgetown University School
of Foreign Service, special
izing in the Russian language.
He received his Master of
Arts degree from the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania, and will
receive his Doctor of Philoso
phy degree with distinction
from that school this year.
He has also attended the
University of Graz, Austria,
where he did special research
work on various aspects of
Slavic Folklore.

Laying of the cornerstone
