NOTES

Mortimer Lamson Earle, one of Columbians most promising scholars, whose career was suddenly ended by early death, combined interests in Greek language and literature with classical archaeology. During his year in Athens he assisted in directing the excavations at Sicyon. He would have been president of the APA had he lived another year. He was a prolific scholar, contributing numerous articles to the periodicals; his books were college texts for the study of the Greek dramatists. As a colleague he was remembered for “personal characteristics of rare quality—sincerity, generosity, and unfailing courtesy.”
