Lewis became the Society�s second president, successor to C. Bradford Welles, and served from 1967 to 1970, as well as having repeated terms on the Society�s Board of Directors. He was a vigorous promoter of the Program of Summer Study in Papyrology, which for five years, beginning in 1966, introduced graduate students from classics departments and ancient history programs across the country to the study of papyrology. With the support of grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Council of Learned Societies, and funds from private benefactors and the host universities, summer sessions were held at various universities�Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania, California (Berkeley), and Toronto. Lewis has been instrumental, as well, in bringing the American Society into ever closer cooperation with its international parent body, the Association Internationale de Papyrologues, of which he is currently a pr�dent d�honneur; he was first appointed to the Comit�nternational in 1949 and served as its vice president from 1965 to 1974 and president from 1974 to 1983. Naphtali Lewis�s productive scholarly career spans more than six decades, and this, in turn, means that this collection of articles is by necessity selective rather than inclusive. Items which have appeared in the Society�s journal, the Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists, however, have been intentionally omitted. Concomitantly, special efforts have been made to include those important articles not of easy access. A bibliography of Lewis�s publications during the years 1976 to the present (below, pages xi-xiv) supplements "Naphtali Lewis: Bibliography" in Studies Presented to Naphtali Lewis (= BASP 15, 1978, 2-8).
