ROME/ATHENS
SCHOLARSHIP:
| E. Adelaide
Hahn (1893-1967). PhD, Columbia (1929); classicist, philologist,
linguist; impressive scholar of Vergil and Latin linguistics; respected
professor of classics and administrator at Hunter in Manhattan (1921-1963), the
CUNY college for women. The first woman president (1946) of the Linguistic
Society of America which she helped found (1924), Professor Hahn became
president of CAAS (1960) near the end of a remarkable career of teaching,
writing, and service to scholarship. For more information, see this
biographical sketch, and this wonderful
personal tribute. |
In honor of E. Adelaide Hahn, one or two awards of up to $6,000
will be made in the spring toward the cost of study in the summer session of
the American School of Classical Studies at Athens or the
American Academy in
Rome (see list of previous Hahn Scholars).
Applicants must have been CAAS members in good standing for two consecutive
years prior to the year in which they apply. Preference will be given to
pre-college teachers, graduate students, and those who have not previously
received this award, with priority given to those who live and work in the CAAS
region. Applicants who receive the Fulbright cannot receive the Hahn;
applicants can receive up to $4,000 if they have been given another award.
Scholarship winners are expected to report on their summer study at the CAAS
annual meeting in October. For further information, contact Dr. Raymond L.
