Stuart L. Wheeler Gallery Annual Lecture

Thanks to the generous support of Mrs. Gertrude Howland, the Department of Classical Studies has sponsored an archaeology lecture each spring since 2009 in honor of Stuart Wheeler, founder of the Ancient World Gallery. Lectures on Egyptian, Greek, and Roman art and archaeology complement the gallery’s collection and encourage the appreciation and study of the ancient Mediterranean world on our campus.
