    •      In late summer 1954, J. was offered and accepted a one year assignment on the faculty of Religion at Elmhurst College. A few weeks before the opening of the fall semester, the family was settling down in an apartment in the basement of Irion Hall, a dormitory for male students. In addition to serving as head-resident of the dorm, J. began a routine of teaching four sections of an Introduction to the Old Testament (First Semester) and four sections of an Introduction to the New Testament (Second Semester). With the completion of Hammerschmidt Memorial Chapel, he assumed the duties of the first, unofficial Chaplain to the College. In the meantime, the family had moved into a first floor apartment in faculty housing at 208 Alexander Boulevard, on the corner of Prospect Avenue. The fine arts center of the college now occupies this location.
           In addition to teaching, J. had been studying during the summers at Garrett-Northwestern, accumulating credits toward an advanced degree. It was becoming clear, however, that the type of program that would provide the training he required involved time away from the Elmhurst College. President Stanger agreed to a one year leave of absence.
    Residence (family) 1968–1969  Glenview, Illinois, USA Find all individuals with events at this location 

    •      In 1968, J. was finished with his formal classroom requirements at the Institute for Islamic Studies and was hired as an editor for a new edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica. The family moved to Illinois.
