Despite his diflfcultms during the first few days of teaching eight grades in one room, he intensely interested in that he decided to “stick.’
In this small | rural school the colonial school policy of “testing” teacher still prevailed, during which period the new instructor had to “prove” t>imaelf before the children would obey.
Opening day, ' several boys refused to enter the school house. Dr. Tharp taugjit them a bit of discipline and they entered. The next day the boys refused to recite their geography lessons. Again they were taught and again they obeyed.
"From that time on I had no more trouble,” Dr. Tharp states. “They even invited me to go fishing and hunting on weok ends and stay at their homes. I have never had better friends than some of the révolté» in that fini clam.’ After two yean of teaching he entered Bradley Polytechnic institute in Peoria, HL, where he received his A.B degree in English and Zoology. He received his master's degree from the University of Iowa, and studied at the University of Pittsburgh for his doctor's degree. 1 While teaching at lows
college Dr. Tharp met a student who later became his wife. They were married in Richmond, Va., and now have three children, Charles, eight, and David, three.
Dr. Tharp also taught graduate and undergraduate work in American literature and speech at the University of Pittsburgh. In the fall of 1939 he came to the University of Miami to teach those departments.
Dr. Tharp is area supervisor of Engineering, Science, and Management War Training, director of adult education, member ef the graduate council, and professor of English. Last year, he was moderator of the Hurricane Roundtables.
