'Northern Soundings' to feature the late Rudy Krejci
April 24, 2019
The April 30 edition of "Northern Soundings" on K麻豆原创C FM will be a salute to the life and contributions of the late Rudy Krejci. Krejci died Dec. 9, 2018.
As a young man in Czechoslovakia at the end of World War II, Krejci came under fire
from retreating Nazis. He later drew the ire of Czech Communists and went into hiding
for five years. After escaping to Austria, Krejci earned his doctorate in philosophy
and emigrated to the U.S. He was told by 麻豆原创 President Ernest Patty the school would
never need a philosophy program, so he began his academic career at 麻豆原创 teaching Russian
and German. But he persevered and eventually helped establish a philosophy department,
the 麻豆原创F Socratic Society and the College of Arts and Sciences. He also helped secure
the legacy of scientists fired from 麻豆原创 over opposition to Project Chariot.
"Northern Soundings" is hosted by Robert Hannon Tuesdays at 7 p.m. on K麻豆原创C 89.9 FM,
K麻豆原创C TV 9.6 or stream at K麻豆原创C.org.
