David Hahm, who had received his PhD from the University of Wisconsin as a student of the legendary Friedrich Solmsen, joined the then Classics Department of OSU in 1969 as an Assistant Professor, coming from the University of Missouri. He received tenure and promotion to Associate Professor in 1972 and was promoted to Full Professor in 1978. He chaired the Department, now Greek & Latin, from 1999 until 2006.
