Historical Sketch
Physics has always been a part of the liberal arts tradition of DePauw University. The first catalog, issued in 1839 by what was then Indiana Asbury University, outlined a full college curriculum, with natural and experimental philosophy (physics, in modern parlance) taking up part of the junior and senior course of study. At first, all courses were taught by President Matthew Simpson. In 1840 however, the newest member of the faculty, William C. Larrabee, assumed responsibility for the natural science and mathematics courses.
