The occasion is his sixty-fifth birthday and coincident retirement from the position of Professor of New Testament and Chairman of the Department of New Testament and Early Christian Literature at the University of Chicago. Both the title and contents of the present volume reflect the kinds of concerns which have characterized this Department since its inception in 1892 under the leadership of Ernest De Witt Burton. Other distinguished predecessors of Professor Wikgren, who has chaired the Department since 1953, include Edgar J. Goodspeed (acting chairman, 1923-25; chairman, 1925-37), Donald Wayne Riddle (acting chairman, 1937-38), Ernest Cadman Colwell (1938-46), and Amos N. Wilder (1946-53). Two of these scholars, E.D. Burton and E.C. Colwell, subsequently held the position of President of the University. At the insistence of President Harper and Professor Burton, the Department was originally established to function in both the Divinity School and the Division of Humanities of the University. In conse quence of this, the Department has continued to maintain close ties with the Biblical Field of the Divinity School and has also sought to foster close relationships with other departments within the Division of the Humanities, particularly those concerned with classical and oriental languages and literatures. The first three sections of the present volume, which constitute the great majority of contributed essays, includes studies in text and lexicography, literary studies and historical studies. Emphasis on these areas has become a tradition vigorously maintained throughout the past eighty years. The lack of departmental preoccupation with theological studies (a more characteristic concern of the Biblical Field within the Divinity School of the University), is fortuitously represented in the present volume by the fourth-and shortest-section. Both the desirability and feasibility of a collection of essays in honor of Professor Wikgren was initially discussed with Professors Calvin Katter and Norman Ericson; the editor is grateful for the VIII PREFAOE stimulus provided by these discussions. An additional word of appre ciation is due the firm of E.J. Brill and its Classical Editor, Mr. T.A. Edridge, for helpful suggestions and a willingness to see the volume through to publication.
