<<Are you sure that Danker didn't do a Ph.D. in Classics at W.U., Edgar?
The bound volume in our departmental library is right next to yours! Or
did he take an additional degree at Chicago? That wouldn't surprise
me.>>
Fred has often talked with me about his Ph.D. at Chicago, under my two
teachers, Gertrude Smith and Benedict Einarson; Fred studied there some
years after I had left (he finished his Ph.D. at Chicago 11 years after I
did, though he is several years older than I--it's that endless Concordia
system, I suspect!). I have no explanation of that "bound volume" in
your departmental library; when you get back to St. Louis, you might look
at its opening pages, to see what it reveals.
Einarson very often spoke of his great teacher, Paul Shorey; and he often
quoted Shorey's dictum which Edgar mentioned that Fred Danker had recited.
