Aman retires
after 32 years
at College
Dr. John A. Aman, head of
the Newberry College depart
ment of economics and business
administration, will retire next
week after 32 years on the fac
ulty.
A Maryland native, Dr. Aman
came to Newberry in 1936 as
professor of social sciences.
Previously he had been a Luth
eran minister in Pennsylvania
and Indiana, and a professor
at Wartburg College in Wav-
erly, Iowa.
“Newberry college has chang-1
ed a bit,” he observed. Only
five of the school's present 17|
buildings existed when he came.
His first classes were in Car
negie Hall, razed several years
ago to make room for a new]
classroom building.
Teaching in old Carnegie’s!
second floor classrooms took
steady nerves, Dr. Aman re
calls. Dining facilities were on
the first floor, and the third |
floor was a dormitory for fresh
man boys who raced continually I
up and down the wooden stairs.
“We used to hold our faculty
meetings around one large lib-|
rary table,” he remembers. Full
time enrollment in the mid-1
Depression years was under 350,
and faculty numbered only J.5
or 16. Now nearly 70 faculty
members instruct 850 students. I
Dr. Aman graduated from
George Washington University
in 1920 and earned a master's
degree in economics there in
1922. He received a bachelor of
divinity degree from Lutheran I
Theological Seminary, Gettys-1
burg, Pa., in 1923. He returned
to George Washington U. in
1933, teaching there part time
while working toward his 1935
doctorate in economics.
Before entering college teach
ing, he was a Lutheran pastor
at Mahanoy City and Strouds
burg, Pa., and a minister in
