Dear Editor:
As a former student of Prof. Eleonora Karpinich Adams, I was saddened to learn that she had passed away. Her obituary (May 31) mentioned that she taught German and Slavic languages and literatures at Temple University in the 1970s and 1980s.
It should be added that Prof. Adams taught two courses in Ukrainian studies at Temple: “Ukrainian Literature in Translation” and “Ukrainian Culture and Civilization.” Getting the university’s Slavic Department, dominated by Russophiles, to allow their introduction was a major accomplishment of Ukrainian students and faculty.
