R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, Owen Barfield, and Charles Williams. He has twice won the Mythopoeic Society's Scholarship Award. Charles Adolph Huttar was born in 1932. He was educated at Wheaton College, and gained his Ph.D. at Northwestern University in 1956. In addition, he studied medieval and early modern literature. He became a professor of English literature at Hope College in 1966, retiring from there in 1996. He is a longtime member of the Conference on Christianity and Literature and the Guild of Scholars of the Episcopal Church. Among the contributors are: Arthur Holmes, David Jeffrey, Daniel Kuhn, Glenn Sadler, Walter Hooper, Melvin Lorentzen, and Paul Bechtel. Clyde Samuel Kilby (26 September 1902, in Johnson City, Tennessee - 18 October 1986, in Columbus, Mississippi) was an American writer and English professor, best known for his scholarship on the Inklings, especially J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis. A professor at Wheaton College (Illinois) for most of his life, Kilby founded the Marion E. Wade Center there, making it a center for the study of the Inklings, their friends (such as Dorothy Sayers), and their influences (such as George MacDonald). While studying at the University of Arkansas, he worked part-time in the registrar's office at nearby John Brown University. Clyde graduated in 1929, and the next year married Martha Harris, a mathematics teacher at JBU. They moved to Minnesota, where Kilby earned a master's degree in 1931 from the University of Minnesota. In 1935, Kilby moved to Wheaton, Illinois, where he became an assistant professor of English. In 1938, he earned his Ph.D. by correspondence from NYU. He became chair of the English department at Wheaton in 1951, a post he retained until 1966. Dr. Kilby retired from teaching at Wheaton in 1981, and retired to Columbus, Mississippi . In his honor, the Clyde S. Kilby Award for Inkling Studies was issued, and also the Clyde S. Kilby Research Grant. There is a Clyde S. Kilby Chair at Wheaton College. Kilby became interested in the works of Lewis in 1943 after reading The Case for Christianity, the first part of the later-published Mere Christianity. He then read all of Lewis' works, designed a popular course around the mythopoetic works of Lewis and Tolkien, and began a long-term correspondence with Lewis that lasted until the author's death in 1963. The fourteen letters of his correspondence with Lewis became the core of a collection of papers on first Lewis, then the Inklings, and finally a set of seven connected British authors.
