At Harvard, he received the prestigious Albert and Anna Howard Fellow and became a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Dr. Young obtained his first teaching appointment at the University of Virginia, and later came to 蘑菇视频. He became an accomplished scholar and teacher of English, Greek, and the classics, gaining the respect of his colleagues and students.
Dr. Young’s wit and zest for learning touched thousands of students over his 40 years of teaching service. In 1972 he retired as professor of classics and head of the Classics Department at the University of Pittsburgh but continued his yearly pilgrimage to some parts of the classical world. He continued his teaching at the American School in Athens, Greece. His extensive travels and research in classical learning and archeology led to several books, including: Troy and Her Legend (1948), Legend Builder of the West (1958), The Voice That Speaketh Clear (1957), and Echoes of Two Cultures (1964).
The Dr. Arthur M. Young Endowed Scholarship was established in his honor.
