26 ALUMNI BULLETIN • JULY 1962 FACULTY EXCELLENCE: VII

D r. Russell C. Erb, professor of chemistry and head of that department, has been associated with Penn- sylvania Military College since 1947. The caliber of his teaching is exemplified by the fact that he will be explaining chemistry for the 12th straight year on "The University of the Air" television program this fall. This rapidly growing educational feature was launched 12 years ago by Philadelphia Station WFIL-TV and originally embraced teachers from 10 colleges in the Philadelphia area. Only Dr. Erb has taught on the program constantly and he is considered "dean of the stoff." No other PMC faculty member has reached so many millions in television. Once confined to the Philadelphia area, " The University of the Air" is now shown in Connecticut, New York, Missouri, California and other states. In the Thursday morning show this next school year, Dr. Erb will teach for the first time " The Chemistry of the Senses," one of his favorites. A na­ tive of Bethlehem, Po., Dr. Erb graduated from Bethlehem High School in 1916, and received the bachelor of science degree in chemistry from Lafayette College in 1921 . After studying at Lehigh University and the Uni­ versity of Pennsylvania, he obtained his moster's degree at Temple University in 1927. He obtained the de­ g ree of doctor of science in 1940 from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy. Dr. Erb speaks with humor and is often called upon to serve as toastmaster at college and community functions. He also has written ex­ tensively for technical publications about scientific sub;ects, including chemical tests, physiological chemistry. poisoning, and the field of odors and science of smell.

But that, declares peppery head' football coach lee (Rock) Royer, is what the football team lost when the ,great Walt Crate graduated. "We're not going to try to replace him," he adds. " He simply can't be replaced. We' ll try to get as ml)ch balance as we can in the backfield, and that's about it." • Royer concedes that the 1962 cadet backfield- particularly the halfbacks- is his biggest problem - as he looks ahead to his initial season as head coach. "The backfield is really shaky," he says. "We've got no threat­ no real home run threat." " But we' ll be out there, showing up for each game," asserts the aggressive young skipper, ,who, by the , way, became the father of a second daughter th is ,I month.
