He is teaching at Carolina his semester as part of a "visit ng professorship" arrangement. Ihe 17th century expert as :mel his new teaching duties vith classes filled last week. A eterar of 41, years as a history rrofessor" for Oxford University, E%ngland, Profe,or Ogg, accom ;anied by his wife, are on their rirst trip to the I'nited States. Born in Scotland 'orn in Glasgow, Scotland 70 .ears ago, Professor Ogg received tis eiementary and preparatory ducation in lasgow before enter ng gra,kiate work at Oxford. Re eiving his M.A. in 1912, he joined he faculty of Oxford, and, with he eception of only four years n whi<h he served as a Lieutenant n th- l,rit ish Navy d,ring World Var , t:rpaght there until his re ircrnt in 1952 fr-m active teach ng. Aftcr his retirement, Professor )gg obtained the librarianship of he New College Oxford Library here he became associated with )r. George S. Curry, head of the )epartment of History here at 'ar"olina. who was doing research cork at Oxford. Ie became in cre,ted in Carolinia's "visiting rofessorship," hence, his being crc to teach this semester. Impressed in many ways by \mnerica arnd its people, the Oggs vere pointedly impressed by the renmendotus kindness which they iave received since their deharka ion ftrom the "Ilec de France'" irner arnd their subsequent train rip from New York to Columbia. Americans C'ourteous "The courtesies and kindnesses hownt us wecre expected because if A merican acquaintances in hngland, but it far exceeded our hourghts of American hospitality," le('lared Professor and Mrs. Ogg. Pr'ofessor Ogg said that he was dso impressed by the enormous a'aiety of subjects taught at arolina, compared with far less >ffered at Oxford. He believes hat American college professors inve a hatder jobr than their ;tnglish counterparts in that in *nglandl professors only make 16 (ectures a term, w'hile American >rofessors have a much heavier ecture load. The reason for this is that most nglish professors believe in the 'old school" of teaching in which tudents take notes of everything hat is of importance, and write egular essays on the subject being mnrsued, Professor Ogg said. But Wr. Ogg says he will teach accord ng to the American method, and vill assist any student who desires nis advice in the history courses le will teach here. The 17th century history expert riready has his classes filled to !apacity, and will lectur, on two ~ourses: history 130 and history uut.
