What is Necrology: P. V. C. Baur, Axel W. Persson about?

He was graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 1894, and received the degree of Ph.D. from Heidelberg in 1900. On his return to this country, he taught courses in Ancient Sculpture and the Topography of Athens at his Alma Mater for a year (1900-01) and then went to the University of Missouri for the year 1901-02. Then he went to Yale, where he remained as Associate Professor and Professor of Archaeology until 1940, when he became emeritus. While at Yale, he was also Curator of Classical Archaeology in the Museum, and Associate Curator of Coins in the University Library. Baur will be best known for his Catalogue of the Rebecca Darlington Stoddard Collection of Greek and Italian Vases at Yale University (New Haven, 1922) an indispensable book for students of Vases, and for his fine work, Ceniaurs in Ancient Art, the Archaic Period (Berlin, 1912), also a very important treatise for archaeologists. His Ph.D. dissertation, Eileithyia, originally published in German, was later translated into English, and published by the University of Missouri in 1902, while he was at that institution. It is a valuable guide to the study of the customs relating to childbirth in ancient Greece. Wi
