<p>Axwall: </p> <hr /> <div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Meyer Schapiro&#039;&#039;&#039; [[Columbia College|CC]] &#039;[[1924|24]] [[LittD]] (hon. caus.) &#039;[[1975|75]], was the most influential American-trained art historian of the twentieth century. He was also the personification of [[Art History]] at Columbia for much of the 20th century. He attended Columbia on Regents and Pulitzer scholarships, and graduated at age 20 with honors in both [[Art History]] and [[Philosophy]]. He began teaching at Columbia in 1928 while writing a doctoratal dissertation on the sculptural decoration at Moissac. The first part of the dissertation was published in the Art Bulletin in 1931. Schapiro remained a faculty member until [[1973]], becoming a [[University Professor]]. Among Schapiro&#039;s accomplishments were the inclusion of art history in the [[Core Curriculum]] even before the formal establishment of an [[Art Hum]] course; an early essay of his appeared on the [[Contemporary Civilization]] syllabus during the 1930s. <br /> <br /> In [[1975]], he was awarded the [[Alexander Hamilton Medal]], and in [[1978]], the chair of [[Meyer Schapiro Professor of Art History]] was established in his honor. In [[1995]], his brother [[Morris Schapiro]] donated a million dollars to endow another chair, the [[Meyer Schapiro Professorship of Modern Art and Theory]], in Meyer&#039;s memory. <br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://c250.columbia.edu/c250_celebrates/remarkable_columbians/meyer_schapiro.html Columbians Ahead of Their Time: Meyer Schapiro]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Former professors|Schapiro]]<br /> [[Category:Columbia College alumni|Schapiro]]<br /> [[Category:Class of 1924|Schapiro]]<br /> [[Category:Art history professors|Schapiro]]</div>
