Words About Emeriti

Jim Scanlon, who retired in 1991, has stayed in Columbus because of Ohio State University library's outstanding Russian studies collection. He continues his research and publication in Russian philosophy, and is occasionally asked to be the external member on dissertation committees in this area by various universities across the country. As he remarked in a recent note, “So, much to my surprise, 22 years after retirement I find I am still working with doctoral students—though not at Ohio State!”
