I am a professor at Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Indiana, a small, private liberal arts college. It is unique for being one of the last colleges in the U.S. for men only.

I was a little concerned, but found no more stupid macho culture than at any other college. Aside from the all-male tradition there is a clear and stated commitment to diversity of all kinds. Faculty (men and women) are just as one might expect at a coed institution. No heterosexual dynamics as in coed classrooms (homosexual dynamics are more concealed) makes one more reason for class to be about the material.

I value the liberal arts and am delighted to work with such fine students. My work is divided into teaching, creative activities, recruiting and advising, and serving on committees. I teach music theory, composition, electronic music, and college-wide humanities. I keep two or three projects underway, which are eventually performed on commission, at conferences and festivals, and at various institutional events.

The mascot at right is Wally Wabash. Our sports teams are the "Little Giants." Students are "Wallies," in contrast to students at rival DePauw University (alma mater of Dan Quayle) who are known as "Dannies."
