Charles Huntington Whitman (November 24, 1873–December 27, 1937) was the Chair of the Department of English at Rutgers University for 26 years (1911-1937) and a noted scholar of Edmund Spenser and early English verse. Whitman was born in Abbot, Maine to Nathan Whitman and Helen Augusta Thoms but attended Bangor High School in Bangor, Maine (Class of 1892) before obtaining his B.A. from Colby College in 1897.[1] In 1900, he received a PhD from Yale University for a dissertation on The Birds in Old English Literature. In the same year, he completed a translation of Cynewulf's The Christ, a companion to Yale professor Albert Stanburrough Cook's critical edition of the poem.[2] Whitman went on to take an Assistant Professorship at Lehigh University. He was invited to Rutgers University in 1906, and accepted the Chair of the Rutgers University English Department in 1911, a position he maintained until his death. His tenure saw many reforms, most importantly the creation of a graduate program, the doubling in size of the faculty, and a transition from declamation to composition and analysis.[3] At the time of this death he was considered "one of the most popular professors at the university".[4] Whitman was married to Rachel Jones Foster in 1902, and they had three children: Hilda Trull (b. 1908), Alan Foster (b. 1909), Dunbar (b. 1912), and Esther Huntington (b. 1917).[1] He died from a heart attack on December 27, 1937 in Highland Park, New Jersey.[5] BibliographyTranslations
