Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, Middlebury College has established the Edward C. Knox [’61] Chair in International Studies, in honor of his 35 years of teaching, research, and administration. At Wesleyan, he was a French major and fondly remembers mentors Carl Viggiani and George Creeger. Knox earned his PhD at Yale and joined the Middlebury faculty, where he taught courses in French language, literature, and civilization. His most recent research deals with how Americans and the French write about each other. He held several administrative positions, including vice president for languages, vice president for academic affairs, and acting president. He and his wife, Huguette, now divide their time between Middlebury and Paris.
