THE SCHOOL OF HISTORICAL STUDIES Faculty GLEN W. BOWERSOCK GILES CONSTABLE OLEG GRABAR CHRISTIAN HABICHT IRVING LAVIN PETER PARET [Andrew W. Mellon Professor] Professors Emeriti MARSHALL CLAGETT GEORGE F KENNAN KENNETH M. SETTON HOMER A. THOMPSON MORTON WHITE The School of Historical Studies is concerned principally with the history of Western and Near Eastern civilization. Within this wide area of study, a large range of topics has been explored at one time or another by Faculty and Mem- bers, but the emphasis has been particularly strong in the fields of Greek and Roman civilization, medieval and modern European history, Islamic culture, and the history of art, science and ideas. The particular emphases of the School are a product of its own history. Two years after the opening of the School of Mathematics in 1933, a School of Economics and Politics and a School of Humanistic Studies were established. In Humanistic Studies, the first professor was Benjamin Dean Meritt, a specialist in Greek history and epigraphy, who was closely associated with excavations in the Athenian Agora. The second appointment to the Faculty of the School of Humanistic Studies was that of the German art historian, Erwin Panofsky. Panofsky ranged through the entire gamut of European art from the middle ages to motion pictures, but he was most closely associated with the development of the field of iconology. Three additional appointments strengthened the field of classical and Near East- ern studies: Elias Avery Lowe, a Latin paleographer who worked on the hand- writing of pre-ninth century manuscripts; Ernst Herzfeld, a Near Eastern archaeologist and historian, whose scholarly work comprised nearly 200 titles; and Hetty Goldman, one of the pioneering American women archaeologists, 23
