Historic Figures of the American School Historic Figures of the American School AMERICAN SCHOOL OF CLASSICAL STUDIES AT ATHENS The American School grounds HISTORIC FIGURES OF THE AMERICAN SCHOOL The expansion of the student center gives us the opportunity to honor many of the influential figures of our storied past. Below are some suggestions for room-naming possibilities. Benefactors can also name an area for a key member of the school’s present, or as a personal or family tribute. Alfred Raymond Bellinger (1893–1978). Classicist, numismatist, and professor at Yale University. Bellinger studied at Yale University (B.A. 1917, Ph.D. 1925). He attended the American School in 1925–1926. From 1926 until his retirement in 1962, he taught classics, history, and numismatics at Yale University. A dedicated member of the School’s Managing Committee, he served as its chair for a term of five years (1960–1965). A leading authority in numismatics, Bellinger was the author of many books about ancient coinage, including a monograph on the coins from Yale University’s excavations at Dura- Europos (1949). Carl William Blegen (1887–1971). Renowned archaeologist and professor at the University of Cincinnati. Blegen earned his B.A. from the University of Minnesota (1904) and his Ph.D. from Yale University (1920). He came to Greece in 1909 to attend the School’s program. From 1912 until 1927 he held many positions at the School, from secretary (1912–1920) and assistant director (1920–1926) to acting director (1926– 1927). Blegen was involved with the American Red Cross in relief work in Bulgaria and Macedonia (1918–1919), for which he was honored with the Order of the Savior by the Greek state. In 1927 he joined the faculty of the University of Cincinnati, where he taught classics and archaeology until his retirement in 1957. Blegen excavated many sites in the Argolid and Corinthia, but he is best known for his excavations at Troy (1932–1938) and at Pylos (1939, 1952–1969), where he discovered the so-called Palace of Nestor, hundreds of Linear B tablets, and unique frescoes. In 1965 he became the first recipient of the AIA’s Gold Medal for Distinguished Archaeological Achievement. Alan Lindley Boegehold (1927–2015). Classicist, poet, translator, and professor at Brown University. Educated at the University of Michigan (B.A. 1950) and at Harvard University (M.A. 1954, Ph.D. 1958), Boegehold taught classics at Brown University from 1960 until his retirement in 2001. He had a life-long relationship with the American School, as student (1955–1957), director of numerous summer sessions, chair of the Managing Committee (1990–1998), and trustee (1998–2003). He was the author of many articles and books, including The Lawcourts at Athens (Agora XXVIII, 1995) and When a Gesture Was Expected (1999). Boegehold also wrote poetry (publishing three collections of poems), and translated 166 of Constantine Cavafy’s poems (2009). In 2011 he became the first recipient of the School’s Aristeia Award. Agnes Baldwin Brett (1876–1955). Numismatist and curator at the American Numismatic Society. Brett received her B.A. from Barnard College (1897) and her M.A. from Columbia University (1900). She then studied for two years at the American School (1900–1902), where she discovered her interest in numismatics, eventually becoming the first female curator at the American Numismatic Society (1910–1913). In addition to her interest in ancient numismatics, she also studied contemporary medals and sculpture. Brett was a noted authority on the coinages of the city-states Chios and Lampsakos in Asia Minor, and her studies of their coinage continue to be standard works. Brett’s most highly acclaimed work, Catalog of Greek Coins (1955), was produced during her time as honorary Curator of Classical Coins at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. Oscar Theodore Broneer (1894–1992). Prominent Swedish American archaeologist and professor at the University of Chicago. Born in Sweden, Broneer immigrated to the United States at the age of 19 in search of a better life. Encouraged to continue his education, he studied at Augustana College (B.A. 1922) and at the University of California at Berkeley (Ph.D. 1931). His attendance in the ASCSA program as a student in 1924–1925 marked the beginning of a long-lasting association with the School through teaching and excavation. In 1947–1948 he was acting director of the School. From 1948 until he retired in 1960, Broneer taught in the Department of Classical Languages and Literature at the University of Chicago and directed the university’s excavations at Isthmia (1952–1976), where he uncovered the sanctuary of Poseidon. During World War II he served as Executive Vice President of the Greek War Relief Association in New York. In recognition of his services he was made a Commander of the Royal Hellenic Order of the Phoenix in 1962. Rhys Carpenter (1889–1980). Archaeologist, art historian, professor at Bryn Mawr College, and director of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. Carpenter studied at Columbia University (B.A. 1909, Ph.D. 1916) and at the University of Oxford (M.A. 1914). He attended the American School in 1912–1913. Before the completion of his dissertation, he was invited to teach at Bryn Mawr College where he headed the Department of Classical Archaeology from 1913 to 1955. In 1927 he took a leave of five years to assume the directorship of the American School (1927–1932). His term is described as a “golden era” in the history of the School. An inspiring and lucid teacher, he shaped the thinking of many generations of art historians. The Sculpture of the Nike Parapet (1929), Greek Sculpture (1960), and Greek Art (1962) are some of his noted publications. John (Jack) Langdon Caskey (1908–1981). Archaeologist, professor at the University of Cincinnati, and director of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. A student of Carl Blegen at the University of Cincinnati (Ph.D. 1939), Caskey began in 1949 a decade of distinguished service as director of the American School, during which he led the excavations of Lerna in the Argolid, an important site for understanding the Early Bronze Age of mainland Greece. He continued his academic career as head of the Department of Classics at the University of Cincinnati (1959–1972), under the auspices of which Caskey excavated Ayia Irini, a prehistoric site on the island of Keos, another landmark for Aegean prehistory. He was awarded the Gold Medal for Distinguished Archaeological Achievement by the Archaeological Institute of America in 1980. William Bell Dinsmoor (1886–1973). Architect, architectural historian, and professor at Columbia University. A leading authority on ancient Greek architecture, Dinsmoor was associated throughout his life with three institutions: the American School of Classical Studies, Columbia University, and the Archaeological Institute of America. He studied at the Harvard School of Architecture (1902–1906). In 1908 he received the School’s first Fellowship in Architecture, thus beginning a long and productive association with the School. Dinsmoor joined the faculty of Columbia University in 1919 where he stayed until 1955. During World War II, President Roosevelt appointed Dinsmoor chair of the Committee for the Protection of Cultural Treasures in War Areas. His magnum opus, The Architecture of Ancient Greece (1950, with multiple editions and reprints) has been the core textbook for generations of classical archaeologists and art historians. Anna Marie Farnsworth (1895–1991). Pioneer in archaeological science. Farnsworth receivd a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Chicago (1922), and is considered one of the first practioners of archaeological chemistry. She served as research chemist at the Athenian Agora both before and after the war (1938–1940, 1961–1964), and she went on to teach a course entitled “Science for the Archaeologist” at the University of Missouri–Columbia. She was the first recipient of the AIA’s Pomerance Award for Scientific Contributions to Archaeology (1980). Her research interests included the spectroscopic study of glass, the cleaning of bronze, the metallographic examination of zinc, the analysis of Corinthian pigments, and the composition of Athenian cement. She is remembered especially for her research on the techniques of Attic black glaze and 5th- century intentional red glaze. Alison Frantz (1903–1995). One of the foremost archaeological photographers of Greek sites and antiquities. Frantz’s undergraduate studies were at Smith College (B.A. 1924), and her graduate studies at Columbia University (Ph.D. 1937). Appointed as staff photographer at the Agora in 1934, she continued in this role until 1964, and she was still listed as research fellow at the School in 1994–1995. During World War II, she served with the O.S.S., keeping Washington informed of events in Greece, and she coauthored (with lifelong friend and colleague Lucy Talcott) This is Greece (1941), a compilation of photographs by members and friends of the School, the proceeds of which were designated for relief efforts. After the war, she served as cultural attaché in Athens, and she helped to establish the Fulbright Exchange Program in Greece. A specialist in photographing Greek sculpture, her work has appeared in numerous sculpture studies. Among her publications are two volumes in the Athenian Agora series: The Church of the Holy Apostles (Agora XX, 1971) and Late Antiquity: A.D. 267–700 (Agora XXIV, 1988). Hetty Goldman (1881–1972). Archaeologist and excavator. After receiving her B.A. from Bryn Mawr College (1903), Goldman pursued graduate studies at Radcliffe College (M.A. 1910, Ph.D. 1916). In 1910, she became the first woman to hold the Charles Eliot Norton Fellowship to study at the School. In 1911, Goldman and a fellow archaeologist, Alice Leslie Walker, gained permission to excavate at the site of Halae, the first time a woman had directed an excavation on mainland Greece.

CONTENTS FOREWORD 3 BIBLIOGRAPHY 9 DIRECTORY OF INSTITUTE MEMBERS, 1930-1954 205 MEMBERS WITH APPOINTMENTS OF LONG TERM 265 TRUSTEES 269 buH FOREWORD FOREWORD Publication of this bibliography marks the 25th Anniversary of the foundation of the Institute for Advanced Study. The certificate of incorporation of the Institute was signed on the 20th day of May, 1930. The first academic appointments, naming Albert Einstein and Oswald Veblen as Professors at the Institute, were approved two and one- half years later, in initiation of academic work. The Institute for Advanced Study is devoted to the encouragement, support and patronage of learning—of science, in the old, broad, undifferentiated sense of the word. The Institute partakes of the character both of a university and of a research institute j but it also differs in significant ways from both. It is unlike a university, for instance, in its small size—its academic membership at any one time numbers only a little over a hundred. It is unlike a university in that it has no formal curriculum, no scheduled courses of instruction, no commitment that all branches of learning be rep- resented in its faculty and members. It is unlike a research institute in that its purposes are broader, that it supports many separate fields of study, that, with one exception, it maintains no laboratories; and above all in that it welcomes temporary members, whose intellectual development and growth are one of its principal purposes.

  • 47-68. American Archaeologists in Turkey
    Journal of American Studies of Turkey 4 (1996) : 47-68. American Archaeologists in Turkey: Intellectual and Social Dimensions Charles Gates A standard Turkish concept about archaeology, one attested by my students, (Note 1) is that Turkey is exceptionally rich in archaeological remains and, as a result, foreigners naturally want to work here. But the world is full of archaeological remains, even North America. The reasons why American and other foreign archaeologists might choose to undertake research in Turkey instead of in other countries are more complex than the Turkish public generally realizes. In this article I examine the motives of American archaeologists who have worked in Turkey. What they have found will be less important than why they came here in the first place. Aspects of the problem include the academic/intellectual framework into which the archaeology of Turkey fits in the United States, socio-political factors, and changes through time. American archaeology in Turkey is seen to be a component of US social and intellectual history, but it is a part of the social and intellectual history of Turkey as well. (Note 2) Archaeology in Turkey can be divided into three major periods: Pre-Classical, Classical (Greek and Roman), and Medieval-Modern (Byzantine, Seljuk, and Ottoman). This article is concerned with the American activities in the first two, the third having rarely been the primary focus of archaeological work except when the architectural history of specific buildings is under investigation. One further restriction: I shall concentrate on work done within the borders of the Turkish Republic of today, making only passing reference to research in adjacent areas once held by the Ottoman Empire.

  • American School of Classical Studies at Athens Newsletter Index 1977-2012 the Index Is Geared Toward Subjects, Sites, and Major
    American School of Classical Studies at Athens Newsletter Index 1977-2012 The index is geared toward subjects, sites, and major figures in the history of the School, and only the major subject of an article. Not every individual has a cross-entry: look for subject and site, first—entries that will tend to be more complete. Note: The symbol (F) next to an entry signifies the presence of a photograph of the subject. S = Spring [occasionally, Summer] Issue; F = Fall Issue; and W= Winter Issue, followed by the year and page number. Parentheses within subentries surround subsubentries, which would otherwise be indented and consume more space; this level of entry is separated by commas rather than semi-colons. When in doubt in a jungle of parentheses, refer to the right of the last semi-colon for the relevant subhead. Where this method becomes less effective, e.g., at “mega”-entries like the Gennadeion, typesetting devices like boldface and indentation have been added.

  • 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.
