Shoe Meritt papers, Bryn Mawr College Special Collections. Biography/History The renowned archaeologist, scholar, teacher, and editor Lucy Taxis Shoe was born on the 7th of August 1906 in Camden, New Jersey. Her fascination with antiquity began at age nine, with a visit to the Memorial Hall of Philadelphia where she saw by chance the stereopticon views of Pompeii left over from an 1876 exhibit. By the time she began to attend the Philadelphia High School for Girls (1919-1923), Lucy already knew that she wanted to be an archaeologist, and her teachers took extra time to work with her outside of class in order to make sure she was prepared to meet Bryn Mawr College's entrance requirements. She graduated with honors and was accepted by Bryn Mawr College on a partial scholarship (1923-1935). At Bryn Mawr Lucy earned her A.B., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees and began the preparation for her well-known studies of ancient architectural moldings. During the years 1929-1934, Lucy studied at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens as a fellow in archaeology. She then worked for a time as a slide cataloger in the Art Department of Smith College (November 1935-June 1936), before accepting a position as Assistant Professor (1937-1941) and then as Associate Professor (1941-1950) at Mount Holyoke College. During her time at Mount Holyoke, she was also periodically in residence as a fellow at the American Academy of Rome. From 1950 until 1972 she was the Editor of Publications for the American School of Classical Studies in Athens. In 1964 she married her colleague Benjamin D. Meritt and in 1972 they both moved to Austin to her family home. There she accepted a position as a visiting professor and scholar at the University of Texas at Austin, which she maintained until her death in 2003. She was also a member of the Institute for Advanced Study and the American Institute of Archaeology, among other institutions. Her awards include the Gold Medal of the Archaeological Institute of America for Distinguished Archaeological Achievement, (1976) and honorary degrees from Brown University (1974) and Hamilton College (1994). Throughout her life, Lucy Shoe Meritt corresponded with an extensive pool of notable scholars. In particular, her correspondence reveals consistent epistolary relationships with other early female archaeologists, especially with Dorothy Burr Thompson, Dorothy Hill, and Paola Zancani Montuoro. The bulk of her sustained correspondence, however, was with her parents, and extends from about 1910 to 1969. Her correspondence as a whole, together with the transcripts of some of her oral history tapes from the University of Texas at Austin and the diaries she kept as an undergraduate provides valuable information not only for the curious classicist, but also for the social historian. - Page 4 - Lucy T. Shoe Meritt papers Scope and Contents The collection includes 28 boxes of materials, dating from c. 18? to 2003. The collection is divided into the following six main categories: (1) Correspondence; (2) Publications; (3) Academic Materials; (4) Professional Affiliations; (5) Biographical Materials; (6) Visual Materials. I. Correspondence (Boxes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) comprises the bulk of the collection and contains personal and professional letters. The family letters include incoming and outgoing correspondence with her parents, grandparents, various other relatives, and a few letters exchanged with her husband, Benjamin Meritt. Perhaps in part due to her position as Editor of Publications for the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, the boundaries between personal and professional are often blurred, and her letters tend to represent a mingling of business and the personal. There is also incoming correspondence from a large number of other scholars and personal friends, among them Rhys Carpenter, Dorothy Burr and Homer A. Thompson, Cornelia Coulter, Doreen Canaday Spitzer, C.K. Williams, Agnes Kirsopp Michels, Mary Swindler, Francis Bacon, Lucy Talcott, Lily Ross Taylor, Rodney Young, Luisa Banti, and Geoffrey Woodhead. The collection includes a handful of letters written to Louise Fitz Randolph (Professor at Mount Holyoke in 1892) from antiquity dealers and the scholar Alexander van Millingen, concerning Egyptian artifacts and Hamdy Bey's work on the Sidon sarcophagus - but how these came to be in Lucy's possession is not clear. The majority of the professional correspondence concerns the ASCSA, as well as various queries from other scholars, and is located in Boxes 13 and 14. II. Publications are subdivided into two categories. The first of these, LSM Publications, Reviews, Lectures, etc. (Box 7) include a few of Lucy Shoe Meritt's publications in various stages of proofs and drafts, particularly the History of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. There are also parts of her Profiles of Greek Mouldings and several off-prints of her articles and reviews. The second, Works of Others (Box 8) contain the works of other scholars, several of which are inscribed to Lucy Shoe Meritt by their authors. III. Academic Materials are also subdivided into three categories. Academic Posts (Box 9) include grade books and course information from some of her courses at Mount Holyoke and correspondence concerning her positions at Mount Holyoke and at Austin. School Materials (Boxes 10 and 11) are represented by various notes and notebooks as well as academic reports from her time at the Philadelphia High School for Girls and at Bryn Mawr College. Notes, Notepads, and Clippings (Boxes 9 and 12) contain her miscellaneous notes, some of which are devoted to particular subjects such as the earthquake damage at Old Corinth, Greek temples, and ancient Greek sites. IV. Professional Affiliations (Boxes 13 and 14) contain professional documents relating to ASCSA business, with lesser amounts of correspondence pertaining to the other societies to which she belonged. V. Biographical Materials (Boxes 15 and 16) include materials from exhibits and symposia in Lucy Shoe Meritt's honor, several obituaries of other notable scholars and colleagues, transcripts of interviews, birth, marriage, and property documents, and permissions for excavations. Of particular note are four

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • University of Michigan 2005 Annual Report
    Institute for the Humanities University of Michigan 2005 Annual Report Peter Sparling Dance Company, “Travelogue” BBroadening The University of Michigan’s Institute for the Humanities exists to deepen synergies among the humanities, and to bring the voices of the humanities to public life. the HHumanities Message from the Director The year has been dedicated to broadening the humanities. We have expanded the kinds of fellowships we offer, the programs we generate, the connections we forge with other Tregions of the University—and the world at large, the depth of our outreach into public life. Our goal has been to integrate fellowship, program, and exhibition for maximum effect, and to stage programs in conjunction with other units for enhanced scope and visibility. It has been an inaugural year for fellowship, program, and exhibition. Next year we will be inaugurating a new space. Four new fellowships have begun this year: a Human Rights Fellowship, Summer Collabora- tive Fellowships in the Humanities, Careers in the Making, and our Global Fellowships. This year has marked the introduction of our new “Crossing the Diag” series. This brings together law, public policy, public health, the social sciences, business, medicine, and other fields at the University of Michigan to expand terms of relevance for the humanities to the important issues of our time. This past year we explored questions of the global AIDS pandemic through a number of conferences and events leading to publication. Two years hence we shall take on questions of “the poorest of the poor.” The “Human Rights Initiative,” launched in cooperation with the International Institute, has been equally successful, with projects on “Human Rights and the Global South,” HIV/ AIDS, Doctors Without Borders, film series, lectures, and, of course, our shared Human Rights Fellowship.

  • Dorothy Burr Thompson 1900-2001 by Jaimee P. Uhlenbrock
    1 Dorothy Burr Thompson 1900-2001 by Jaimee P. Uhlenbrock In the early l870s terracotta figurines from the Hellenistic period began to appear on the antiquities market of Athens. Prospective buyers were told that they had come from graves near the ancient city of Tanagra in Boeotia, roughly 12 miles east of Thebes, where local inhabitants had dug them up from a vast cemetery. Of an outstanding artistic quality, they were quickly purchased by collectors eager to possess original examples of Greek sculpture, even though dealers also had resorted to selling pastiches and by 1876, outright forgeries because of the scarcity of good originals. Controlled excavations were carried out a Tanagra intermittently between 1874 and 1889 in an effort to halt the widespread looting of the graves that had developed because of the market demand for these “Tanagra figurines,” as they were called. Nevertheless, the archaeological contexts within which these Tanagras were found continued to be destroyed, and all evidence for dating and interpretation was hopelessly lost.1 The inclusion of Tanagras in an exhibition dedicated to Greek art from private collections in the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 18782 resulted in intensified interest in them as collectibles, as well as intensified activity in the forger’s studio. This was, in large measure, facilitated by the fact that Tanagras were made from molds. Even though most false Tanagras were easily spotted by archaeologists, many nevertheless entered museum collections, so that the entire genre of Hellenistic terracottas began to be viewed with suspicion and distrust by the scholarly 2 community. Yet their popularity continued unabated among collectors.
