NOTES

Although his earliest education, both in Palermo and in this country, was directed toward the ministry, Scramuzza soon turned to a scholarly career in history. His specialty was Roman (and Greek) history, but his expertise extended to church history, to the history of religion, and even to American colonial history, and made him one of the most prominent scholars at Smith College, where he spent the major part of his teaching career.
