At
the 2008 conference in Dallas–Fort Worth,
Herbert will be joined by the Distinguished Scholar Session’s chair,
Nancy J. Troy of the University of Southern California, and a panel of
four speakers: Mark Antliff of Duke University, S. Hollis Clayson of
Northwestern University, Michael Leja of the University of Pennsylvania,
and Cécile Whiting of the University of California, Irvine. The
session takes place Thursday, February 21, 2:30–5:00 PM, at the
Adam’s Mark Hotel, Dallas Ballroom C, First Floor. Please see the
forthcoming November issue of CAA News for Troy’s thoughtful
article on Herbert and his accomplishments.

is now Andrew W. Mellon Professor Emeritus of Humanities at Mount Holyoke
College in South Hadley, Massachusetts. Born in 1929, he earned his
BA at Wesleyan University in 1951 and his PhD from Yale in 1957.
