Giger Professor of Latin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Giger Professorship of Latin is an endowed chair for the teaching of Latin at Princeton University.[1]
Established by the gift of George Musgrave Giger, who served as Professor of Greek and Latin at Princeton from 1847–1865, the chair has been held by a senior Latinist at Princeton intermittently since 1883, when University president James McCosh invited Andrew Fleming West to fill the newly founded position.[2]
