Neale Reinitz
Professor Emeritus Neale Reinitz joined the English
Department in 1953. He first taught Freshman English (now extinct)
in a temporary building now buried under Packard Hall. Through
the years he's taught a number of courses in English and American
literature. He was chair of the English Department from 1971 to
1980. In 1960-61 he was a Fulbright Lecturer in Finland. In 1998
he edited "The Higher Jazz," an unpublished novel by
the American critic Edmund Wilson. Reinitz's love of literature
is almost matched by his passion for Billie Holiday, Groucho Marx,
and the Colorado mountains. (He's climbed all 54 of the Colorado
Fourteeners.) At Homecoming this year, he’ll host a reunion
of alumni who have won the CC Award in Literature, a program he
helped set up more than twenty years ago.
