The 1983 recipient of Knox's Philip Green Wright-Lombard College Prize for Distinguished Teaching, McAndrew is a member of Psi Chi, an academic honor society in psychology, and is listed in Who's Who in Frontier Science and Technology.

The Dudley professorship was created in 1913 by a bequest from Cornelia H. Dudley, a long-time resident of Galesburg and friend of Knox College. Her bequest specified that the endowment be used to support a professorship in the sciences. The most recent holder of the Dudley professorship is Herbert Priestley, professor emeritus of physics, who taught at Knox from 1952 to 1982.
Founded in 1837, Knox is an independent, four-year, liberal arts college with 1,100 students from 42 states and 33 nations. Knox's "Old Main," a National Historic Landmark, is the only building remaining from the 1858 Lincoln-Douglas debates.
