Lecture by Robert Pounder
Taylor Hall, Room 203
5:30pm
"Bert & Ida & Carl & Libbie: Four Lives in Archaeology." Professor emeritus Robert Pounder reflects on the personal and professional lives of four archaeologists, Bert Hodge Hill and Ida Thallon Hill (Vassar class of 1897), and Carl Blegen and Elizabeth Pierce Blegen (Vassar class of 1910). Ida Thallon Hill was Elizabeth Pierce Blegen’s professor during her freshmen year at Vassar. The two traveled together to Greece for archaeological research, where they met their future partners Bert Hodge Hill and Carl Blegen. After they married, the couples all lived together for the rest of their lives.
