HOPPIN DISCUSSES ATTIC VASES

Dr. Joseph Clark Hoppin '93 will give an illustrated lecture on "The Making of an Attic Vase" before the Boston Society of the Archaeological Institute of America on Monday afternoon, December 1, at 4 o'clock, in the Lecture Hall of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The lecture is open to the public without charge.

Dr. Hoppin has had a large experience as an archaeologist. After his graduation from the University he spent a number of years at Athens and at European universities. While a student at the American School in Athens he took an active part in the excavations at the Argive Heraeum. He taught classical art and archaeology at Wellesley and Bryn Mawr, as well as serving as professor in the American School at Athens. With the late Richard Norton '92 he was engaged in the American excavations at Cyrene in North Africa. Professor Hoppin's "Handbook of Attic Red-Figured Vases," recently published by the Harvard University Press, has attained high rank among the authoritative works on Greek archaeology.
