REMEMBERING RONALD S. STROUD
July 8, 1933–October 7, 2021
Between his arrival at the American School in 1959 to the present, Ron Stroud served many roles: Secretary, an excavator of the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore on Acrocorinth, Whitehead Professor, and Mellon Professor. From his 1965 Berkeley Ph.D. on Drakon's law on homicide through well over 70 scholarly works and 30 years co-editing Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum, Ron established himself as a true sage of the scholarly community. We remember him here as a scholar, a teacher, and a most generous and dear friend. Please click the link below to read his obituary.
