Erwin Panofsky, an outstanding authority on the history of world art, has received the appointment for the coming year to the Charles Eliot Norton Professorship of Poetry here. The chair has been vacant since 1941.
The Norton Professorship, set up under an extraordinary grant in 1925, provides that each year an outstanding man in the field of art, literature, or music shall be appointed to the University and deliver a series of lectures open to the public.
Panofsky, currently a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, will give his series on the history of art as well as conducting several graduate seminars. He specializes in the European Renaissance.
In the past, both T. S. Eliot and Robert Frost have held the post.
