The Department of Modern and Classical Languages is currently seeking essays for the Dieter P. Lotze Memorial Essay Competition. A prize will be awarded to the most accomplished paper submitted as a result of a double major Senior Project in the natural sciences and a foreign language, or other written work that explores the communication between disciplines. The paper must explore some aspect(s) of the relationship between the study of the natural sciences and that of other languages and cultures.

Professor of Modern Languages Dieter Lotze taught German language and literature at Allegheny for more than 26 years.
