Passing of Professor Emeritus Paul Harrington


I am sad to announce the passing of Professor Emeritus, History and Political Science, Paul Harrington on April 20, 2013. Hired by his good friend, the College’s first president, Leroy V. Good, Paul began his MCC career in the fall of 1966 as an assistant professor. In 1970, he was promoted to associate professor and six years later, promoted to professor.

A U.S. Air Force pilot and staff officer, who served in WWII, Paul retired as a lieutenant colonel in 1964. He earned a B.A. from Arkansas Polytechnic College and a M.A. from the University of Rochester. Paul served the college in many capacities including chairperson of the History and Political Science department. He retired in 1979.
