The Secrets of David M. Robinson and the Olynthos Excavations
Alan Kaiser
Sometimes the best place to hide a secret is in plain sight. In the University Museum hangs a portrait of professor David M. Robinson, one of the great classical archaeologists in the United States during the 20th century. The celebrated man had a dark secret, however, known only to his former student, Mary Ellingson. Half a century after Robinson’s death the chance discovery of Ellingson’s forgotten scrapbook uncover Robinson’s secret and message hidden in Robinson’s portrait.
