In Memoriam: Leon I. Twarog

[Daniel Collins]

It is with sorrow that we announce the death of Dr. Leon I. Twarog 
(1919–2005) on Monday, October 24, of cancer.  Dr. Twarog was the 
founder and longtime chair (1962–72, 1978–84) of the Department of 
Slavic and East European Languages and Literatures at The Ohio State 
University.  He was also the founder and first director (1965–87) of 
the Center for Slavic and East European Studies.  He served as 
Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences (1963–64), Associate 
Dean of Faculties for International Programs (1966–70), Acting Dean of 
the College of Humanities (1977–78).  Through his creative service, 
administration, teaching, curriculum development, and scholarship, Dr. 
Twarog has left an indelible mark on the Department, the University, 
and the field of Slavic and East European Studies in the U.S.  He will 
be greatly missed, and we send our sincere condolences to his family.
