| Lucy Shoe Meritt has been a student, teacher, and scholar of classical archaeology and architecture since 1915, when at the age of nine she saw the stereoptical views of Pompeii in the Memorial Museum in Philadelphia. Her interest in the classics was heightened at Bryn Mawr College, where she was trained by her teachers to "see what you look at" and ask "what is the significance?" She received her masters in 1928 and her doctorate in 1935. She studied at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens from 1929-1934 and authored numerous publications, including Profiles of Greek Mouldings (1936). Lucy Shoe Meritt is one of the world's foremost authorities on classical archaeology with particular reference to Greek, Etruscan, and Roman architecture, specifically profiles of mouldings. |
