In your blend of meticulous scholarship and spirited teaching, whether in the classroom or while cheering for the home team during four decades and more at Williams, you have embodied for generations of students the essence of a liberal arts education. Your interest in medieval European sculpture and architecture, particularly in 12th- and early 13th-century French sculpture, which forms the core of your scholarly production, also led you to become one of the founders of the International Center for Medieval Art, which dedicated the 30th anniversary issue of its journal, GESTA, to you. You put your knowledge to practical use in an on-going archaeological dig in Psahnodi where, with countless students over the years, you have unearthed the foundations of an Early Christian monastery. While a surprisingly large proportion of your former students have gone on to important positions in major museums throughout the country, you have opened doors for non-specialists as well. As the College Art Association of America noted in presenting you with an award for distinguished teaching, you have awakened “students at all levels to the enticements of works of art, of teaching as a calling, of meticulous research and of archaeological excavation.” In recognition of your distinguished achievement as art historian and teacher, Williams College is proud to present you with its Bicentennial Medal.
