Samuel D. Schaff, class of 1938, was an Emeritus Professor of Education and retired registrar. He served as the faculty and chapter advisor to Alpha Tau Omega for 18 years.
A loyal and devoted Denisonian, Sam Schaff is remembered for counseling thousands of students into graduate programs and successful professions throughout his service to the college from 1948 to 1982.
