“Professor Stephen Dyson (1937-2026) was a scholar of many talents, with a passion for Roman history and archaeology, and the dissemination of knowledge to those who took his classes and worked alongside him. As we remember Professor Dyson and his impact on our department, an in memoriam has been set-up in the Goetz Library, displaying many of his published contributions to the Classical world. Students and faculty are welcome to sign-out any of these books with the hope that Prof. Dyson’s knowledge continues to shape our perspectives on the Roman world. ”
