From the Washington Post: “Dr. Howland, a debonair socialite as well as dedicated scholar, was a man of many facets. He was a classical archaeologist, art history professor, author, founder of learned societies and a special assistant at the Smithsonian Institution … He taught art history, first at Wellesley College from 1939 to 1952, then at Johns Hopkins from 1947 to 1956, where he founded and chaired the department of art history.”
