Faculty Member
Anastasios Georgopapadakos was a faculty member for twenty-two years and for the last eleven he served as Dean for the Gymnasium. His scholarly work on the Greek language was widely appreciated, and he enjoyed the respect of his colleagues. Ioannis Papingis, a ’69 alumnus, referred to his pedagogical skills and strong dedication to his students. When, in March 1969, during the dictatorship, the Ministry of Education refused to approve the reappointment of Mr. Georgopapadakos, President Hayden made every effort to keep him in his position. Hayden persisted in his efforts to reverse what he considered profoundly unjust, but all these efforts failed.
