It takes an orchestra to play it. —Halford E. Luccock (1885–1961) assionate Curiosities began as a modest endeavor. Initially conceived many years ago, it was intended as a short, internal document selectively high- Plighting some of the more interesting collectors and collections that have contributed to making the Kelsey Museum corpus so unusual. Although a brief history of the Museum’s fieldwork had been printed in 2006 (In the Field: The Archaeological Expeditions of the Kelsey Museum) and a biography of the Museum’s epony- mous founder published in 2011 ( J. G. Pedley’s The Life and Work of Francis Willey Kelsey), the Museum lacked even a short document devoted to overviews of the collections his- tory and the array of intriguing figures who first began donating antiquities to the Uni- versity of Michigan in the late 1800s. As often happens with ideas that germinate for a while, our initial plan expanded in both concept and scope, mostly through the coordi- nated efforts of a small army of individuals. In the end, Passionate Curiosities evolved into a more complex project than first envisioned and became a collaborative undertaking incorporating work by several former and current students at the University, as well as numerous curators and staff members, past and present, at the Kelsey Museum. We warmly thank the entire administrative team of the Museum during the span of our project: Sharon Herbert and Chris Ratté (former and current directors, respec- tively); Dawn Johnson (associate director); and administrative staff members Carl Abrego, Sandra Malveaux, Alex Zwinak, and Lorene Sterner for their constant support. Thanks also to Lorene for her exceptional help with image files and maps. On research questions and advice, we are especially grateful to the following mem- bers of the Kelsey family: Professors Elaine Gazda, Janet Richards, and Terry Wilfong (fellow curators); John Griffiths Pedley (former director of the Museum and goldmine of information on Francis W. Kelsey and institutional history); Amy Rosenberg, Clau- dia Chemello, Suzanne Davis and Carrie Roberts (former and current conservators); Madeline Neiman (Samuel H. Kress Foundation Fellow in Conservation, 2014–2015); Ann Taylor van Rosevelt (research associate); Kathryn Carras (textile consultant); Se- bastián Encina and Michelle Fontenot (database and collections management), whose collaborations on database issues, images, and archival searches have been invaluable; Don Burian and Penny Slough (registry volunteers working with coins); Kirsty Walker (registry intern); Randall McCombs (docent and registry volunteer in digital imaging); Cathy Person (educational programming), and Todd Gerring and Sarah Mullersman (former and current community outreach coordinators, respectively); Scott Meier and viii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Emily Kirk (exhibition designer and assistant designer, respectively) as well as former designers David Slee and Dana Buck; and to all the Kelsey Museum docents for their consistently perceptive suggestions. We are deeply in your collective debt—and happy to be so. Among this great in-house cadre we single out Peg Lourie (editor) with profound gratitude. Her skills, collegiality, and intellectual sensitivity have been critical in trans- forming our text into a book. We are honored to be under your wing, Peg; and we enjoy every minute of it. We also thank Terry Wilfong for his supportive guidance as curato- rial head of publications. For support and superlative services we are grateful to Matt Biro (chair of the Department of the History of Art), to the Freer Committee, and to the Department’s administrative staff; to Cathy Pense Rayos and Sally Bjork (Visual Resources Col- lections); to Deirdre Spencer and her entire staff (Fine Arts Library); to the research personnel of the Bentley Historical Library; to Randal Stegmeyer (photographer, Uni- versity Library), and to the superb University library system, including everyone who makes ILL and GET work and all the good people at the Buhr facility. For research and networking within the University, we thank Mary Freiman (sec- retary to the director, Department of American Culture); Carole McNamara (curator, University of Michigan Museum of Art) as well as Beth Bahls, Pam Reister, and Ruth Slavin on the UMMA staff; Jeff Pearson (librarian, Askwith Media Library); Phil Hall- man (librarian, Department of Screen Arts and Cultures); and the following faculty: Celeste Brusati, Christiane Gruber, Patricia Simons, Rebecca Zurier, and Howard Lay (Department of the History of Art); Carla Sinopoli (Department of Anthropology, cu- rator in the Museum of Anthropology, and director of the Museum Studies Program); the late Bill Farrand and also Eric Essene (Department of Geological Sciences); and Carol Bardenstein (Department of Near Eastern Studies). Beyond the University, we are indebted to Bill Peck (former curator of Egyptian art, Detroit Institute of Arts); Christine Lilyquist and Diana Patch (former and current curators in the Department of Egyptian Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art); Deirdre Lawrence and Angie Park (principal librarian and archivist, respectively, in the Brooklyn Museum); Esther Goudsmit (for her graciousness in sharing memories of her father, Samuel A. Goudsmit); Manuele Wasserman (for her advice and for sharing family lore about her great grandfather, Maurice Nahman); Lucy Kaplan (for information on her father, Edward Gans); Susan Porter (National Button Society membership coordina- tor) for recovering material on Jane Ford Adams; Kenneth Milano (Presbyterian His- torical Society of Pittsburgh) for helping to elucidate the life of Miss Hattie Conner; and Sarah Humes and her volunteer Autumn Muir (Kalamazoo Valley Museum) for invaluable assistance on A. M. Todd; Kelly Beattie of the Ypsilanti Historical Society; the JD Candler Roofing Company of Livonia; Rebecca Roundtree (BA 2012) at Chris- tie’s New York; Lavinia Ciuffa at the American Academy in Rome; and Lisa Crane, Special Collections, the Honnold/Mudd Library at the Claremont Colleges. ix ACKNOWLEDGMENTS For investigative efforts cutting across the entire range of Passionate Curiosities, we extend deep gratitude to Mrs. Cathy Andrejak for her extraordinary volunteer services as a professional librarian in archival research. Many students have contributed substantially to specific subsets of material dis- cussed here. We would like in particular to thank the following undergraduates whose projects reach two decades back: Jessie Tropman (BA 1992), Nathan Estep (BA 1994), Will Pestle (BA 1999), Jesse Ortega (BA 2004), Laura Kubit (BA 2005), Meryl Schwartz and Natalie Newton (BA 2008), Jessie Roy (BA 2010), Claire Malley (BA 2012), Helen Argiroff-Flood (BA 2014), and Lisa Padilla (BA 2015). Their special studies of artifact groups and/or archives have found fresh life here. Similarly, numerous graduate stu- dents past and current deserve special thanks for research on the Museum’s collections and archival records crucial to our investigations: Henry Colburn, James Cook, Emily Holt, Jenny Kreiger, Kate Larson, Leah Long, Hima Mallampati, Lynley McAlpine, Diana Ng, Adrian Ossi, Emma Sachs, Troy Samuels, and Adela

This strengthens our own faith and gives us added conviction in a world which seems to believe increasingly that Bible-believers are people who ignore facts and science. In this paper are facts which you can master and use to help your friends find hope in Jesus. What is biblical archaeology? Put simply, it is archaeology that relates to the Bible. What then is archaeology?1 It is the study of discovered ancient findings; a) antiquities - ancient man-made relics, and, b) fossil bones. Archaeology is not an exact science, and when reading journals and books you will find that many discoveries undergo subjective analysis and interpretation. Archaeologists sometimes do not produce sufficient final reports of excavations, and this hinders true identification of discoveries.

Between 1914 and 1918, over 2.5 million civilians lost their lives on the battlefields or to hunger and disease. From among those, over one million Armenians were targets of a systematic genocidal campaign organized by the Ottoman state. It was in the aftermath of this catastrophe that University of Michigan Professor of Archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858–1927) and U-M staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866–1947) em-barked on an expedition to the region, the purpose of which was to collect ancient Christian manuscripts destined to disappear in the postwar chaos.

    History and Narrative in a Changing Society: James Henry Breasted and the Writing of Ancient Egyptian History in Early Twentieth Century America by Lindsay J. Ambridge A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Near Eastern Studies) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Janet E. Richards, Chair Professor Carla M. Sinopoli Associate Professor Terry G. Wilfong Emily Teeter, Oriental Institute, University of Chicago © Lindsay J. Ambridge All rights reserved 2010 Acknowledgments The first person I would like to thank is my advisor and dissertation committee chair, Janet Richards, who has been my primary source of guidance from my first days at the University of Michigan. She has been relentlessly supportive not only of my intellectual interests, but also in securing fieldwork opportunities and funding throughout my graduate career. For the experiences I had over the course of four expeditions in Egypt, I am deeply grateful to her. Most importantly, she is always kind and unfailingly gracious. Terry Wilfong has been a consistent source of support, advice, and encyclopedic knowledge. His feedback, from my first year of graduate school to my last, has been invaluable. He is generous in giving advice, particularly on matters of language, style, and source material. It is not an overstatement to say that the completion of this dissertation was made possible by Janet and Terry’s combined resourcefulness and unflagging support. It is to Janet and Terry also that I owe the many opportunities I have had to teach at U of M. Working with them was always a pleasure.

We can be proud of the achievements and the competitiveness of our entering class, and I have no doubt that their admirable test scores, class ranks, and high school grade point averages will show their real meaning for us in the energy, intelligence, and dedication with which our new students approach their academic work and their community lives in the College. I have already received many reports from colleagues teaching first-year humanities general education sections about how bright, dedicated, and energetic our newest students are. To the extent that we can continue to recruit these kinds of superb students, the longer-term future of the College is bright indeed. We can also be very proud of our most recent graduating class. The Class of 2007 won a record number of Fulbright grants — a fact that I will return to in a few moments — but members of the class were rec- ognized in other ways as well, including seven Medical Scientist Training This essay was originally presented as the Annual Report to the Faculty of the College on October 30, 2007.

The fact that there are three biblical narratives (2 Kgs 18–19; Isa 36–37; 2 Chr 32) concerned with the Assyrian campaign against Judah under- scores its obvious importance to the biblical writers. The existence of multiple copies of Assyrian annals that refer to these events, as well as the “Lachish reliefs” pictorially depicting the Assyrian siege and sacking of the Judahite city during the same campaign, likely explains why the events have captured the imagination of biblical scholars and historians alike.1 Some of the chief debates concerning * The nucleus of this essay was presented at the Annual Congress of the Canadian Society of Biblical Studies which met in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada in May, 2011.
