Malloy, who earned a Ph.D. from the University of Virginia, came to Hamilton in 1982. His research interests are opera, including German, Mozart, 18th and 19th centuries, including Wagner; German poetry of the 18th and 19th centuries, especially Goethe and the Romantic School; and computer technology and instructional uses.
Born in Vienna, Austria, Toegel studied at the University of Vienna and earned her bachelor's and master's degrees at Tufts University and her doctorate from the University of Washington. She has been a Hamilton faculty member since 1993, specializing in 19th and 20th century German and Austrian literature and culture. Her articles have appeared in German Life and Letters, Oxford German Studies, Forum for Modern Language Studies, and Modern Austrian Literature. Her critical biography of the life of Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, a 19th century Austrian writer, was published in 1997. Toegel held the position of associate dean of students/study abroad from 2002-2006.

In the best liberal arts tradition, classes are small and interactive, with one-to-one engagement and deeply committed teachers. Hamilton's emphasis on close student-faculty relationships is especially important in language-based programs, where continual engagement and participation are critical to learning. The relatively small size of the program means that students also receive individual attention outside class when they need it.
Almost every major in German travels and studies abroad — typically in Germany or Austria — for at least one semester, and all are encouraged to stay for a full academic year.
With its emphasis on language proficiency and an understanding of contemporary and historical German culture, the major and minor in German are excellent training for further studies in graduate school as well as professional careers. Recent graduates have gone on to success in such fields as technology, engineering, global relief, education, international trade and marketing, journalism and medical research.
