We can boast, among of the participation of Professor Lawrence Lerner (retired from the English Department) and of the philosophers Professor Charles E. Scott and Professor John Sallis while they were at Vanderbilt. A number of the most distinguished faculty members, including Chairs of departments and holders of endowed Chairs, have participated. Currently for example, Professor Patricia Ward, former chair of French and Professor Cathy Jrade, currently chair of Spanish and Portuguese, are among our associates. Professor Patricia Ward of the French Department and Professor John McCarthy of the German Department are each officially entitled "Professor of Comparative Literature" while Professor David Wood is a welcome addition from our distinguished colleagues in Philosophy.
