Vanderpool, Eugene (1906–89) archaeologist; born in New Jersey. He first came to Greece in 1927, returned briefly to the United States to finish his B.A. at Princeton (1929), and thereafter spent virtually his entire life in Greece. No one knew more about Greek epigraphy and topography, especially the topography of Attica; his knowledge led the Germans to inter him during World War II. He was a beloved and revered teacher and mentor at the American School of Classical Studies, where he was an agora excavator (1932–67), deputy director (1947–67), and professor of archaeology (1949–71).
