"SCILET is also facilitating the translation of regional
language writing into English, so that literature written in such
local languages as Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Telegu can be
read in all parts of the country, not just in one state. We know
of no other institute in India that is doing just these same things,
and that is what makes our work here so exciting!"
SCILET also provides books, journals, and documents to more than
500 local college and university students and teachers, who study
and publicize the excellent work of the many creative Indian writers
who use the English medium.
As postgraduate professor of English, Dr. Love also helped to
develop the first graduate program in the humanities for this
predominantly science-oriented college.
Prior to his assignment at American College, Paul taught for
18 years at Baring Union Christian College at Batala in north
India. There he also helped to establish a program of graduate
studies in English. At both colleges, he taught seminars and courses
in biblical studies and conducted college chapel services.
His teaching in India, which began with his appointment to overseas
service with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) in 1954, was interrupted
by a year of graduate work in historical theology at Yale University
Divinity School in New Haven, Connecticut, and by longer periods
of study and teaching at Northwestern University in Evanston,
Illinois, where he earned both the M.A. and the Ph.D. degrees
in English.
Born in Cincinnati Ohio, Paul Linder Love grew up in Louisville,
Kentucky, where his father, Dr. Julian Price Love, taught at Louisville
Presbyterian Theological Seminary. He did his undergraduate work
at The College of Wooster, in Wooster, Ohio, and received a B.D.
degree from Louisville Seminary. He is a member of the Presbytery
of Mid-Kentucky.
