RESOLUTIONS IN MEMORIAM

Oskar Seidlin

The Board of Trustees of The Ohio State University expresses its sorrow upon the death on December 11, 1984, of Oskar Seidlin,. Professor Emeritus in the Department of German.

Professor Seidlin was born in Konigshutte, Oberschlesien, Germany, on February 17, 1911. He received his doctorate from the University of Basel in 1935, and emigrated to the United States in 1938. He worked for a time in New York City as secretary to Thomas Mann and , and began his teaching career as lecturer at Smith College in 1941.

After serving in the U. S. Army, 1942-46, Professor Seidlin came to The Ohio State University, where his work as teacher and scholar soon brought the Dep'artment of German an international reputation for excellence. Among the honors bestowed upon him were the Alumni Distinguished Teaching Award, 1960; the Arts and Sciences Good Teaching Award, 1955; the Eichendorff Medal, 1948; Golden Goethe Medal, 1963; the Deutsche Akademie fur Sprache und Dichtung Prize for Germanic Studies Abroad, 1958; and the Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters, University of Michiqan, 1969. In 1966, he was designated Regents Professor at The Ohio State University; in 1972 he was desiqnated Regents Professor Emeritus and then he moved to Indiana Un.i­ versity.

Among Oskar Seidlin's publications are an edition of the correspondence between Schnitzler and Brahm, 1953, and several volumes of essays: Von Goethe zu Thomas Mann, 1963; Versuche uber Eichendorff, 1965; Klassische Liiid moderne Klassiker, 1972; vo·m erwachendem BewuBtsein und vom Sundenfall, 1979. As both writer and teacher, Professor Seidlin was a man of extraordinary poetic sensitivity and intensity (he was himself the author of a volume of poetry, 1938, and of two children's books). At the close of one particularly lively seminar on Schiller, a graduate student once asked him: "Why do you always get so excited? You act as if the Holy Ghost had appeared." Oskar Seidlin answered: "What do you mean 'as if?' When a great poet writes, that is the moment when the Holy Ghost appears." The answer is characteristic of his affirmation of humanism, and his dedication to the word.

On behalf of the University, the Board of Trustees expresses to the family its deep sympathy and sense of understanding in its loss. It is directed that this resolution be inscribed upon the minutes of the Board of Trustees and that a copy be tendered to the family as an expression of the Board's heartfelt sympathy. German Dept .
