If this incident seexsed to betray a certain negligence on the
Director's part in passing on Dr. Morey's requests, nothing can be said
to dispel the impression. Morey even reproved Flexner for approving
certain men whom he nm,inated for membership and stipends without having
seen grid passed on their credentials. Flexnes's reply that of course he
zssumed Panofsky had seen and zpproved them hardly carried conviction, for
there is no evidence he had ever made Pznofsky responsible for th observ-
ence of established standards. 30
The Director made the sixth recamendation for the staff of
the School of Humanistic Studies in October, 1936, when he asked the
Board .to appoint Dr. Hetty Golhn; zrckeolagist, as Professor, and
the Board obliged. For this actlon the academic approval of Professor
Meritt appeared as follows in the minutes:
1 remenber our conversation of this s mr about possible '
appointments in the hwanistie Section and wish to give you
this record of my opinion favoring the appointment of Miss
Hetty Golhn, with whom I have been associated from time ,
to time s,lnee 1922, when we were both at the excavations of
Colophon in Asfa Minor.
Miss Goldman fs recognized as an outstanding explorez and
excavator, who &S done excellent work in both historic and
-
pre-historic investigation. Her 'Facht is a desirable cmb
plement to my avn historteal-epigraphic31 studies, and I
should look forward to close associatian with her In the
Institute with the greatest pleesure. Miss Goldman's pub
lished reports and books have been admirable, and f think of
her appointment not with a view to any commitment of the Ln-
stitute to field work as such, but as an opportunity for
Hiss Goldman's further exploitation of her unpubliskd
mtezial so that she may prepare it and studies coming from
it for publication.
