Biographical Note

Kathryn Dapp Cook, L.H.D. (KDC) was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in 1908. Member of the faculty of Hobart and William Smith Colleges from 1942 to 1979. She died on December 7, 1998. An innovative teacher, Dr. Cook enthusiastically shared her far reaching interests and wisdom with all. She offered encouragement in many ways and was chair of the English Department from 1967 to 1970. She introduced courses in comparative literature (before it was a discipline), modern novelists (including James Joyce), and Russian literature. These, in addition to Shakespeare, were her specialties. She was one of the architects and teachers of the course in Western Civilization and, from its inception and for 34 years, was a vital force in the Honors Program. Her high standards and expectations, her enthusiasm and energy, her interest in students, and her penetrating written comments on their papers led her students to try their best. Tributes to her from former students fill a book. Professor Cook maintains active contact with former students and colleagues from her home on Pulteney Street.
