Dr. William S. Hamilton was born in Cincinnati
four days after Pearl Harbor was bombed. A slow student at Yale,
it took him eleven years to obtain three degrees; he was distracted
in his studies of Slavic linguistics by an equally burning love
for Bluegrass music. It is true that during this period, he knew
Jerry Garcia, but his relationship with Jerry ended when Jerry
switched to electric guitar.
Dr. Hamilton taught
Russian at SUNY Buffalo throughout the seventies, and arrived
at Wake Forest in 1982. As Associate Dean, he has specialized
in the Judicial System, departures, and returns. As Professor of
Russian, he teaches first and fourth year courses, one of which
utilizes a book he wrote in 1980 entitled Introduction to Russian
phonology and word structure. Some of his more infamous publications
include songs such as "Please Mister Dean, Keep my Record
Clean". Dean Hamilton is the husband of Cindy, a teacher at
Summit School, and father of Sage, class of 1994, and John, class
of 1998. His most recent hobby has been carving chess sets.
