Edward's beloved tutor, then brother-in-law, then colleague as Yale professor. they were also neighbors, living across the street from one another in New Haven their entire adult lives. i'm sure Edward was proud that "Theo" was so honored on the campus, right in front of the library that they both helped to build!

: One hundred twenty-five years ago today, in our June 10, 1896, issue, we celebrated the upcoming dedication of the Theodore Dwight Woolsey statue that still graces the Old Campus. “A man of truth and a true man was Theodore Dwight Woolsey,” said the Reverend Joseph Twichell at the dedication on Class Day, June 22, “in the sight both of heaven and earth.”

RIP to the last holder of the Salisbury Chair of Sanskrit at Yale.

The American Oriental Society mourns the death, Friday, January 4, 2019, of Stanley Insler, Salisbury Professor Emeritus of Sanskrit and Comparative Philology at Yale University and esteemed member of the Society. Serving in official capacity as Secretary-Treasurer from 1976–1982, Treasurer from 1982–1986, and President in 1997–1998, Stanley also served unofficially, with typical acuity and vision, as the investor genius behind AOS’s well-being. Requiescat in pace.
