Department of Oriental Studies
A new department created by Miskatonic’s young president, Dr.Wainscott, this tiny department actually concerns what we would now call the Middle East. The chairman, Dr. Shalad, is expert in Arabic, Persian, Urdu, and Sanskrit, and occasionally offers courses in Middle Eastern history, philosophy, art, and culture.
Shalad is a taciturn, private man, fifty years old. Dr. Shalad is presently teaching a special course in medieval metaphysics, with emphasis on the difficulties of translation from Arabic originals, that numbers Asenath Waite among its most interested students.
