Here is an announcement to the Classics community that Grove Ettinger Barber had passed away on April 25, 1931. He had worked as a professor of Classics at the University of Nebraska for forty-one years, after having the same position for nine years at Hiram College.
Professor George E Barber was the first professor at UNL to use lantern slides to illustrate his lectures. The slides included photographs, maps, and drawings of Roman Archaeology, and once other teachers caught on to what he was doing, they ordered lantern slides for his own classes. By the end of his career, he had accumulated around 1700 slides.
In Grove Ettinger Barber's Will, he states that he is leaving $2,000 to the Board of Regents. Three-fourths of the money is to go as a scholarship once a year to a student wishing to continue studies in Ancient Languages or Classical Archaeology. One-fourth should be invested to gain interest so that the scholarship can be ongoing.
