Twenty Years at Pitzer: Reflections of Pitzer's First Professor Emerita

After 20 years as the core of Pitzer's German department (some might say as the department itself), Dorothea Kleist Yale has retired from full professorship to assume the position of Pitzer's first professor emerita. Born and raised in Berlin, Germany, during some of that country's most troubled times, Yale immigrated to the United States in 1952. Shortly thereafter, she received her bachelor of arts degree at the City College of New York and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Yale continued her education at Stanford University where she received her master's and doctorate degrees. In 1958, six years after her arrival, she became a United States citizen. She now lives in Claremont with her husband, Paul Yale, a professor of mathematics at Pomona College. If one were to be specific about where, exactly, Dorothea Yale has lived since 1976, the address would have to be: Pitzer College, Scott Hall, Room 222. And in the case of Professor Yale, the adage "Home is where the heart is" takes on special meaning. Sitting in her office surrounded by shelves and shelves of much­ loaned-out books, her desk inhabited by descendents of her once-famous philodendron, Siegfried, professor Yale reflects on her 20 years of teaching at Pitzer. When she remembers and recalls, those thoughts come clearly from her heart - her eyes actually do sparkle, her hands gesticulate with animation, she laughs easily and heartily, and she searches for just the right words to express thoughts she by the president and dean of faculty feels deeply. Clearly, her heart was, and continues to be, in her on May 17, 1987 work as a very special educator.
