Notes and Queries
Joe L. Dubbert, 43, Professor of History
at Muskingum College, died Sep-
tember 27, 1983, after a valiant fight
against cancer. Born in Laurens, Iowa,
Dr. Dubbert pursued a fascination for
rural American culture at Parsons
College (B.A., 1962) and the University
of Minnesota (Ph.D., 1967). He
joined the history department of
Muskingum College in 1967 and has been
credited with re-animating the study of
American history at that institution.
Noted for his fairness, his common sense,
his sensitivity to student concerns,
Dr. Dubbert was a hugely popular teacher
whose intellectual stature was
widely respected by sixteen years of
student classes. Above all a teacher, Dr.
Dubbert was deeply committed to
scholarship and is familiar to many as a
frequent speaker at professional
meetings and conferences, as a book reviewer
for this journal, and as the author of
the nationally recognized social history
A Man's Place: Masculinity in
Transition. Contributions may be made
in his
memory to the Joe L. Dubbert Memorial
Scholarship Fund, Muskingum
College, New Concord, Ohio 43762.
