Royal Case Nemiah (1891-1987), classical scholar and teacher. Nemiah was educated at Yale University (A.B. 1912; Ph.D. 1916) and pursued further study at the University of Göttingen between 1912 and 1914. Nemiah joined Dartmouth College in 1919, where he taught Greek for four decades, serving as Lawrence Professor of Greek from 1938 until his retirement in 1959. In addition to classical languages, he also taught German. Known for his strong ethical commitment to education, he was an early public critic of National Socialism, informed by his experience of German academic life before the First World War. DBCS
