A harmonious hobby »
Dale Neuman
Professor emeritus
Political Science
College of Arts and Sciences
As a longtime professor of political science, Neuman spent a lot of time talking about the disharmonies that exist in American politics. But, for the better part of the past 60 years, he has also been making his voice heard in a more harmonious endeavor—as a mainstay on the barbershop quartet circuit. From his start as a member of the Four D’s in high school through his years with the Crosstown Four, Neuman has won numerous awards and sung in festivals and competitions around the world.
