Dennis Quinn
Fink award given to Dr. Quinn
Dennis Quinn, associate professor of English, is the 1966 recipient of the H. Bernerd Fink Award for excellence in classroom teaching at KU.
Announcement of the $1,000 cash award, provided annually by Mr. Fink, a KU alumnus and president of the C-G-F Grain Co. in Topeka, was made by Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe.
Quinn was cited last year by students of the intermediary board of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences for his "dynamic lectures and ability to make every lecture sound as if it were a new intellectual discovery. He offers his interpretations of literature in class but yet points out to students other possibilities and criticisms of his approach, thus allowing students the opportunity to take issue with him and become more personally interested in the material."
Quinn says his teaching philosophy is that "learning is generated in dialogue between persons," and thus his classes take the form of dialogue between all participants rather than lecture only by the professor.
He teaches 17th Century literature, poetry and prose, Shakespeare, introductory courses in the novel, drama and freshmansophomore English, and a course in the King James Bible. Current research is on Biblical interpretations in the Renaissance period. He also has studied the use of the Bible in the sermons of John Donne.
