Sather Professorship of Classical Literature information


Sather Tower at the University of California, Berkeley

The Jane K. Sather Professorship of Classical Literature is an endowed chair for the study of classics at the University of California, Berkeley. Established in 1914 after a donation by Jane K. Sather, widow of the Norwegian-American banker Peder Sather, the professorship requires its holder to spend one term at the university. Sather Professors would teach a full programme of classes. Since 1919, the post entails a set of lectures on a unified topic which is later published as a book by the University of California Press. According to classicist Oliver Taplin, the chair is "the most prestigious [professorship] in the subject in the world".[1]
