| Classicist and historian, born near Clay Center, Kansas, USA. He studied at the universities of Kansas (1898 BA, 1899 MA) and Chicago (1903 PhD), and taught at Bryn Mawr (1904–19) and Johns Hopkins (1919–38). Often called the finest American historian of Rome of his time, he was appropriately the first American classicist to hold the Eastman Professorship at Oxford (1938–9). Editor of the American Journal of Philology (1936–9) and University of California Sather professor (1930), he published fifteen books, including An Economic Survey of Ancient Rome (1920, 1933), more than 150 articles, and many reviews. |
