Grace P. Young Awards

Grace P. Young Awards (French)

Grace P. Young, whose great-grandfather David H. Maxwell was one of the founders of Indiana University, served as an Instructor of French from 1917-1923; and as Professor from 1923 until her retirement in 1956. She collaborated with her husband Bert Young on the publication in 1947 of Le Registre de la Grange, 1659-1685, an account of the theatrical activities of Molière's troupe. It was through a bequest of copies of the Registre that the Grace P. Young Fund was established in 1970.
