Prof. Frank A. C. Mantello
Professor Frank A. C. Mantello was hired as Assistant Professor at The Catholic University of America in 1979 and will retire as Ordinary Professor and Margaret Gardiner Scholar in August 2016. The vision that he and his colleagues have built together over the past several decades continues to guide our Department of Greek and Latin to this day: a dedication to classical culture and its heritage that spans both the pagan and the Christian eras; a special scholarly and pedagogical interest in the late antique and medieval periods; and a deep commitment to excellence in the study of Latin and Greek. In recognition of his outstanding research contributions, his influential pedagogy, and his unfailing commitment to CUA, to the Department, and to the many other people and programs both within and outside our university who share his dedication to the Middle Ages, the Eta Kappa Chapter of Eta Sigma Phi is proud to induct Prof. Mantello as an honorary member.
