Identifying Professors from 1922

Following our spring edition of Annotations, we received a number of requests that we identify the other members of the faculty in the 1922 photograph of the Department on Bascom Hall’s front steps. Thanks to help from UW Archives, we have been able to identify around a third of the individuals, and we’ve listed them below. Can you help us name any others? Write to us at annotations@english.wisc.edu!
