Howard S. Hoffman, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, died on August 31, 2006 at the Quadrangle in Haverford. Howard Hoffman was born in New York City in 1925. He received his B.A. from the New School for Social Research (1952), his M.A. from Brooklyn College (1953), and his Ph.D. from the University of Connecticut (1957). Before coming to Bryn Mawr in 1970, he taught at UConn and Penn State. Howard retired in 1991 and taught the occasional courses for a few years after that. He had an international reputation for his work in experimental psychology, notably imprinting, studies of the startle reflex and human memory. He received grants from N.S.F, N.I.H. and the National Institute for Mental Health. A prolific writer, he authored and co-authored hundreds of journal articles and reviews and wrote several books. His book about his experiences as a scientist, Amorous Turkeys And Addicted Ducklings: A Search for the Causes of Social Attachment (Authors Cooperative, 1996), is currently being translated into Japanese. He also wrote Vision and the Art of Drawing(Prentice Hall, 1989) and created a computerized version of his statistics course, Statistics Explained, with his son Russell. Books written with his wife Alice included The Cruikshank Chronicles: Anecdotes, Stories and Memoirs of a New Deal Liberal, with a Foreword by Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter (Archon Books, 1989), and Archives of Memory: A Soldier Recalls World War II (University Press of Kentucky, 1990). The latter book, a study of memory, dealt with his experiences as a mortar crewman and forward observer during World War II..

Howard almost became a painter instead of a psychologist and after his retirement returned to this early love. Examples of his work can be seen in the Psychology Department, where you can also see a brief autobiography, A Life in Science and in Art. He is survived by his wife Alice, daughters Gwen and Martha, sons Russell, Franklin and Daniel and nine grandchildren. He was pre-deceased by his son Randall.

Rosalie C. Hoyt
Rosalie Chase Hoyt, 92, formerly of Malvern, professor emeritus of physics at Bryn Mawr College, died Tuesday, July 25, of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at her home in Brunswick, Maine. A native of Long Island, N.Y., Dr. Hoyt enrolled at Bryn Mawr College after graduating from the Chapin School in New York City. She dropped out to work as a secretary on Wall Street and later earned a bachelor's degree from Barnard College in New York. She returned to Bryn Mawr to earn her master's degree and doctorate. "There was no biophysics program then," said a Bryn Mawr colleague, Alfonso Albano, "so she invented one for herself." After teaching physics for three years at the University of Rochester, she joined the Bryn Mawr College faculty. She was chairwoman of the physics department from 1969 to 1977. She was awarded several National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation research grants for the study of the biophysical processes of nerve fibers. In 1969, she received the Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching. "She was an inspiration to those many students who followed her into careers in science," said Judith Shapiro, president of Barnard College.

Dr. Hoyt moved to Maine after retiring in 1984. As a young woman, she rode her own horse and always had an Airedale terrier. She enjoyed crossword puzzles, her nephew, Christopher St. John said, but her passions were teaching and research. She continued to write scientific articles into her 80s, he said. She is survived by a brother, Edwin C. Hoyt Jr., and 13 nieces and nephews. No service has been scheduled at her request.

Machteld Johanna Mellink, Professor Emerita in the Department of Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology of Bryn Mawr College, died at the Quadrangle in Haverford, Pennsylvania on Thursday, February 23, 2006.

During the Occupation she was very active in the Dutch Resistance. Professor Mellink came to Bryn Mawr in 1946-47 with a Marion Reilly Fellowship of the International Federation of University of Women at Bryn Mawr College and then spent the summer of 1947 at the University of Chicago under a Ryerson Grant. During this time she began excavating with Hetty Goldman (’03) at Tarsus in Cilicia. She began teaching at the College in 1949 and retired in 1988. In 1972 she received the Leslie Clark Chair in the Humanities. Under her leadership Bryn Mawr’s archaeology department flourished with an expansion of faculty, curricular offerings, and excavations in Turkey, Italy and Greece. She was known internationally for her leadership in the archaeology of Turkey. With a deep interest in interconnections between ancient Greece and the Near East, between 1947-49 she participated in the ground-breaking excavation of Tarsus Between 1950-65 she was a staff member of the important excavation of Gordion, the capital of the legendary King Midas of Phrygia. After exploring the highlands of Lycia she went in 1963 to the plain of Elmali where no previous archaeological work had been done and continued digging and researching there the rest of her active life. In the plain she uncovered at Karata -Semayük, an important Early Bronze Age settlement and cemetery. She also led the excavation and conservation of the spectacular painted tombs of the late sixth through early fifth century B.C.E. at K z bel and Karaburun near Elmali. Over the course of her long career she brought international attention to archaeological discoveries throughout Turkey and defended its cultural heritage against looting and illegal export. Professor Mellink also maintained a lifelong interest in Troy and was a partner in the recent project there undertaken by the Universities of Tübingen and Cincinnati.

In 1986 she was honored by her students and colleagues in a volume of essays entitled Ancient Anatolia, and in 1994 the College sponsored an international symposium in Istanbul on archaeology in Turkey where alumnae/i and professional colleagues and friends gathered to appreciate her contributions. The results of her research in the Elmal area are published in the Elmal -Karata series and in K z bel: An Archaic Painted Tomb Chamber in Northern Lycia. Her earlier research was published as A Hittite Cemetery at Gordion and a chapter in Excavations at Gözlü Kule, Tarsus II. From 1955-1994 she contributed an annual account of new archaeological discoveries in Turkey to the American Journal of Archaeology. She also wrote “Anatolian Chronology” in Chronologies in Old World Archaeology, edited numerous books, among which is the popular Troy and the Trojan War (1986), and published scores of articles in many international journals.

Her international recognition included an honorary LL. D. from the University of Pennsylvania and an Honorary Doctorate of History from the University of Eski ehir. She received the Archaeological Institute of America’s Gold Medal for Distinguished Archaeological Achievement in 1991 and the University of Pennsylvania Museum’s Lucy Wharton Drexel Medal for Archaeological Achievement in 1994. The Ministry of Culture of Turkey recognized her as the Senior American Excavator in 1984 and the Senior Foreign Archaeologist in 1985. In 2001 the Archaeological Institute of America established in her honor the Machteld Mellink Lecture in Near Eastern Archaeology. Bryn Mawr College awarded her the Lindback Foundation Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1975. She was a Member of the American Philosophical Society, a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a Research Associate of the University of Pennsylvania Museum, and a Corresponding Member of the Turkish Institute of History, the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences, the German Archaeological Institute, and the Austrian Archaeological Institute, and many other international archaeological societies.

Her professional service included being President of the American Research Institute in Turkey from 1988-1991, President of the Archaeological Institute of America from 1980-1984, Trustee of the American Society of Oriental Research, Chair of the Department of Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology at Bryn Mawr College from 1955-1983, and Acting Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Bryn Mawr College from 1979-1980.

She advised scores of undergraduate and graduate students and supported and followed their careers in archaeology with keen interest. An indefatigable correspondent and advisor, she actively helped colleagues around the world with their scholarship and made special efforts to support and promote their work. For this reason alone she has had an extraordinary impact on the archaeology of the Old World. Click here to read the New York Times' obituary.
