Mendelsohn President Citation

The SCS Board has unanimously voted to give the 2013 President's Award to Daniel Mendelsohn to recognize his significant contributions to advancing public appreciation and awareness of Classical antiquity.

Citation: Ladislaus Bolchazy, DSA 2013

At a recent SCS Annual Meeting, with Lou Bolchazy holding forth across an aisle of the book exhibit, his nominator for this award said to a distinguished member of our profession, “If anyone deserves our Distinguished Service Award, Lou does.” Sadly, Lou passed away in the summer of 2012 before this award could be given to him in person.
