Physics Department

Deans


  • Dean Sumner - School of Arts and Sciences, seasons 1-3.

EXTRANEOUS


The school was named after Admiral Pendelton, the statue of whom stands outside of Huff Hall. In Season four Episode three ''Feeling' Albright'' Dick confuses the horse on which the Admiral is riding with Pendelton's wife.

The Library is notoriously inadequate, in one episode Dick suprises Mary as she is working in the rare books room. Of course on a Friday night the elevator goes off when the library closes, they try the stairs and find them to be blocked, Dick of course says that they will be open tomorrow, Mary informs him the library will be closed tomorrow, "A library closed on the weekend?" Dick states,"Dick, this is not a good school!!" Mary emphatically replies.
