  • Elizabeth Pierce Blegen (1888-1966 by Elizabeth Langridge-Noti
    Elizabeth Pierce Blegen (1888-1966 by Elizabeth Langridge-Noti American Classical archaeologist Elizabeth Denny Pierce was born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania on June 26, 1888 to Flora McKnight and her husband William Lemmex Pierce. Elizabeth attended Vassar College from 1906-1910, where she developed a love for the Classical world and continued through 1912 to receive an M A in Latin. A number of women at Vassar served as role models for her interest in the Classics and encouraged her to pursue this line of study. The most important of these women was to become her lifelong companion, Ida Thallon (Hill) (q.v.), who was credited by Elizabeth with introducing her to Greek archaeology and to many of the classicists and archaeologists who formed part of this community. Another influence at Vassar was Elizabeth Hazelton Haight, a feminist classicist who focused on the Roman world and pushed forward the role of women in the Classics in a number of ways, being the first woman to serve on the board of the American School of Classical Studies at Rome and the first woman chair of the American Philological Association. Other professors and later colleagues who influenced Elizabeth’s intellectual development were Grace Harriet Macurdy (q.v.) and Catherine Saunders, both of the Vassar Classics department. From 1912 to 1915 Elizabeth Pierce did further graduate work at Columbia University, possibly because Ida Thallon had done so, obtaining her Ph.D. in 1922. While there, she taught at her alma mater, Vassar College, from 1915 to 1922 in the field of Art History and also served as assistant curator in the school’s Art Gallery for seven years.

During Hardy’s three-year tenure as General Manager, the Steel compiled a USHL-best 116-39- 8-2 record, winning one Clark Cup championship, two Anderson Cups as regular season champions and two Eastern Conference titles. In his new role for Toronto, Hardy will have complete control over the hockey operations for the Marlies and the Growlers, including roster decisions and staffing. “I am certainly excited to begin my new role in Toronto but this is definitely a very bittersweet day,” said Hardy. “I have given all of myself to this team over the last three years and I will miss this place tremendously.

  • Q&A with Susan Heuck Allen
    Classical Spies: American Archaeologists with the OSS in World War II Greece Susan Heuck Allen http://press.umich.edu/titleDetailDesc.do?id=1735600 The University of Michigan Press, 2011 Q&A with Susan Heuck Allen, author of Classical Spies: American Archaeologists with the OSS in World War II Greece Classical Spies is the first insiders' account of the operations of the American intelligence service in World War II Greece. Initiated by archaeologists in Greece and the eastern Mediterranean, the network drew on scholars' personal contacts and knowledge of languages and terrain. While modern readers might think Indiana Jones is just a fantasy character, Classical Spies discloses events where even Indy would feel at home: burying Athenian dig records in an Egyptian tomb, activating prep- school connections to establish spies code-named Vulture and Chickadee, and organizing parachute drops. Susan Heuck Allen reveals remarkable details about a remarkable group of individuals. Often mistaken for mild-mannered professors and scholars, such archaeologists as Princeton's Rodney Young, Cincinnati's Jack Caskey and Carl Blegen, Yale's Jerry Sperling and Dorothy Cox, and Bryn Mawr's Virginia Grace proved their mettle as effective spies in an intriguing game of cat and mouse with their Nazi counterparts. Relying on interviews with individuals sharing their stories for the first time, previously unpublished secret documents, private diaries and letters, and personal photographs, Classical Spies offers an exciting and personal perspective on the history of World War II. An experienced archaeologist and author of many books and articles, including a volume on Frank Calvert's discovery of Troy, Susan Heuck Allen has taught at Yale University and Smith College and is currently Visiting Scholar in the Department of Classics, Brown University.

  • Ida Thallon Hill (1875-1954) by Natalia Vogeikoff
    Ida Thallon Hill (1875-1954) by Natalia Vogeikoff The Early Years A life committed to archaeology, especially the archaeology of Greece, began in Brooklyn, New York. Ida Carleton Thallon was born on August 11, 1875, one of the two daughters of John and Grace Green Thallon. From Packer Collegiate Institute she moved to Vassar College, where she received her A.B. degree in 1897. Two years later she set sail for Europe to attend the program of the American School of Classical Studies in Athens. On this trip, she was accompanied by another Vassar graduate, Lida Shaw King. After three months of touring in Holland, Germany, and Austria, visiting museums and learning German, the two women finally reached Greece. The two years spent in Greece had a tremendous effect on Ida Thallon’s scholarly career. In addition to the stimulating academic program of the American School, she praised the lectures of William Dőrpfeld, a leading German archaeologist of the day1 , Students were expected to attend Dőrpfeld’s lectures on the topography of Athens and participate in his tours of the Peloponnese and the islands. She also benefited from conversations with fellow student Harriet Boyd (q.v. Breaking Ground). The impact of both these figures on Thallon’s subsequent commitment to archaeology should not be underestimated. Rufus Richardson was then the Director of the School and he was very popular with the students because he took much interest in them. Also on the faculty were Professor H. W. Smyth of Bryn Mawr as the Annual Visiting Professor, who was the author of the widely used Greek Grammar, and also Dr.

  • Unpredictability Continues Into Second Round of 2019
    UNPREDICTABILITY CONTINUES INTO SECOND ROUND OF 2019 PLAYOFFS The 2019 Conference Finals are comprised of two of the top six teams from the regular-season – Boston (No. 2) and San Jose (No. 6), who finished second in their respective conferences – and two teams that ranked outside the top 10 – Carolina (No. 11) and St. Louis (No. 12). * The Blues and Hurricanes’ journeys to the third round are each marked by strong performances in the 2019 calendar year – St. Louis ranked last overall in the NHL standings on Jan. 2 while Carolina also found itself among the bottom nine on that day. * This marked the fourth time in six years under the current playoff format - and 14th time in NHL history - that the second round required multiple Game 7s. The two Second Round Game 7s garnered record in- market ratings for all four clubs involved. * St. Louis advanced to the Conference Finals by winning the third Game 7 this postseason to require overtime - the most ever in one playoff year. * There have been 15 overtime contests this postseason - five more than the entire 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs (10 of 84 GP). * The Hurricanes won a pair of one-goal games to take a 2-0 series lead back to Raleigh, where they set a franchise record for attendance and completed their first-ever best-of-seven sweep. The score was tied or within one goal for 85% of the series (206:23 of 244:04), including each of the first 183:06 – Carolina took the first multi-goal lead of the series in the final minute of Game 3.
