PEASE RESIGNS AT AMHERST COLLEGE TO INSTRUCT HERE

Arthur Stanley Pease has resigned the Presidency of Amherst College to accept the position of Professor of Greek and Latin in Harvard University. From 1924 to 1927, President Pease served as Professor of Latin at Amherst. Since that time he has held in addition to the presidency the title of Moore Professor of Latin, without giving formal courses. He has chosen to resume the teaching office, in preference to the duties of administrator.

He received his A.B. from Harvard in 1902 summa cum laude, the A.M. in 1903, and the Ph.D. in 1905. During the following year he studied at the American School of Classical Studies at Rome. He served as Instructor in Classics at Harvard and Radcliffe from 1906 to 1909.

In 1909 he was appointed Assistant Professor of Classics at the University of Illinois, where he continued until 1924. From 1911 through 1924 he was also curator of the Museum of Classical Art and Archaeology. He resigned the position of Professor of Classics at the University of Illinois to accept the post of Professor of Latin at Amherst, and in 1927, on the resignation of the late George Daniel Olds, Professor Pease became President of Amherst College.

He is a member of the Archaeological Institute of America, the American Philological Association, and the Classical Association of New England. His "Commentary on Cicero's 'De Divinatione'" is famous among scholars. Since his accession to the Presidency of Amherst, Dr. Pease has continued his classical studies.

President Pease's resignation, which has just been accepted by Amherst College, will go into effect on June 30 of this year and he is to take up his duties at the start of the next college year at Harvard. At the present moment it is not known whether President Pease will reside in any one of the house units. His successor at Amherst has not yet been announced.
