1. carl compton’s memoirs, “The Morning Cometh: My 45 Years with Anatolia
College,” are a riveting account of 1913-1959. they were republished under that
title “Supplemented by Carl Compton’s UNRRA Letters to his Wife Ruth” (2 nd
rev. ed.William r. compton, dr. deborah Brown Kazazis, and serge hadji-
Mihaloglou, lucy Braggiotti, athens 2008, hereinafter “ccc”). former trustee
antonis Kamaras’ (’83) inspirational commencement address to the hs class of
2011 which urges public service carries that tradition forward.
2. the backing of the faculty is exemplified by the employment of progressive
academics, such as Profs. n. Papahadjis and a. Georgopapadakos, even in the
face of hostile governmental policies. richard l. Jackson, 9 th President of anatolia
college (1999-2009), places it in perspective in his ccc foreword:
“…(R)equired ‘Certificates of Political Beliefs’ foreclosed…employment in the
public sector… In the omnipresent Greek State with its pervasive and onerous regulations
(those who did not sympathize with the regime) were virtual outcasts.”
3. eminent thessalonian (’38) and trustee emeritus. excerpt from his letter to
the Board upon his May 2011 election to emeritus.

Dictionary of the Modern Greek Language” (in Greek, a. Georgopapadakos,
