APPLICATION FOR THE THOMAS E. DANIELS MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
Due April 15, 2016
Professor Thomas E. Daniels taught in the Languages and Literatures Program at UWGB from
1968 until his untimely death in 1980. Having earned a Ph.D. in American Studies from
Washington State University, he was very well-suited to be one of the founding members of an
interdisciplinary program and university. Professor Daniels’ research focused on American
literature in the 1920s and 1930s, in particular the works of Thomas Wolfe, F. Scott Fitzgerald,
and Ernest Hemingway, but his courses explored the interconnections between literature and
history, sociology, economics, and philosophy. In addition, he emphasized the importance of
World Literature, noting that American culture does not exist in a vacuum. A charismatic
individual, Thomas Daniels helped define the character of the Humanities at UWGB.
