Lacked History Knowledge

Mr. Harbaugh found how
much his knowledge of history
was lacking during the war. In
1947 he enrolled at Columbia
University and eventually
earned his M.A. in American
History.

Before coming to the
University in 1966, Mr.
Harbaugh taught at the
Universities of Connecticut and
Maryland, Rutgers and
Bucknell University. When
asked how the other schools
compare to the University, he
replied, "I like the University
of Virginia more than any
other place that I have been. I
am happy here."
