Dr. Grammar's Fun with Words

UNI's Dr. Grammar In Memoriam

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa -- James HiDuke, University of Northern Iowa assistant professor of English language and literature, died Monday, Nov. 17, of natural causes at his home in Cedar Falls. HiDuke was nationally known as "Dr. Grammar." A veteran English professor who taught English and writing courses, HiDuke was well known by students and faculty as a source of answers to tough questions -- hence the nickname, "Dr. Grammar." HiDuke was the mind behind UNI's free Dr. Grammar advice service, which was launched for UNI students, faculty, staff and the community in 1999. HiDuke came to UNI in 1967 as an English instructor. He held a bachelor's degree from St. Joseph's College, Rensselaer, Ind.; and a master's degree from Marquette University, Milwaukee, where he specialized in composition/modern drama. He is survived by his wife, Carlene. Funeral services will be at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 22, at First United Methodist Church, Cedar Falls. Memorials can be sent to the American Cancer Society.
