Professor in Budapest on the
night train to Prague
English Professor Kathy Mangan, who is teaching at McDaniel College
Budapest this semester, sends a postcard from Budapest. She writes:
For more than a week I had been e-mailing friends and saying to people,
“We'll be taking the night train to Prague.” I loved the possibilities
suggested by those five syllables—“the night train to Prague.” The words
called up images of adventure, intrigue, and mystery.

Smart Growth evident on campus
Bob Warfield '62 never played tennis in college. But wrestling and
football aren't sports that age well, so he took up a racket shortly
after graduation and has been a big fan of the game ever since.
The naming gift of $250,000 made by him with his wife Peggy Hoey '63
for the new six-court tennis venue is their way of encouraging members
of the campus and local communities to “hit the ball around and have some fun.”
Located between Bair Stadium and Main Street on the west side of campus,
the tennis venue features comfortable spectator stands and attractive
landscaping. It is the latest project to be completed under McDaniel's
10-year master plan, which details a vision for the growth of the College's
160-acre campus.

Student-Faculty research report published
McDaniel College places special emphasis on student research
that involves faculty members as mentors, supervisors and collaborators.
Student-faculty research takes place through course work, special summer
opportunities, and the senior capstone experience.
In 2003-2004, 175 students completed research projects with the faculty.
In many instances the outcome of this research has been presentations
at professional meetings or publications in peer-reviewed journals
with national circulation.
The effectiveness of such programs has been observed by Loren Pope
in his book Colleges That Change Lives, who notes that
colleges like McDaniel have “a faculty of scholars devoted to helping
young people develop their powers, mentors who often become their valued friends.”
