PREFACE

Thomas A. Brady, Jr. joined the History Department of the University

of Oregon in 1967, while completing a dissertation for the University

of Chicago on the Strasbourg magistrate Jacob Sturm (d. 1553). At

Oregon, he worked closely with his colleagues Roger Chickering,

Joseph Esherick, Robert Berdahl, and Alan Kimball to build the

History Department’s reputation for scholarship. Brady and Chickering

founded the monograph series, Studies in German Histories. In 1987,

in recognition of his scholarly contributions and his commitment to

undergraduate and graduate learning, Brady was designated President’s

Distinguished Professor of the Humanities. He moved to the University

of California at Berkeley in 1991. In 2001 he was awarded Berkeley’s

Peder Sather Chair, culminating a distinguished career that has also

Fulbright Senior Research Program, the National Endowment for the

Humanities, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the

Historisches Kolleg in Munich, the National Humanities left, and

the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. A consummate scholar,

he is also known as a devoted teacher and mentor, a fact acknowledged

by the American Historical Association, which awarded him the Nancy

Lyman Roelker Mentorship Award in January 2004. That same year,

nearly one hundred students, colleagues, and friends came to Berkeley

for a symposium held in his honor. Many of the contributions to this

volume are fruit of that gathering.

To acknowledge Tom’s contribution to scholarship is to recognize

his marriage to Katherine Gingrich Brady, who has been his closest

collaborator in everything since 1964. In both the symposium and this

Festschrift, we could imagine no better way to record the Bradys’ mark

on our lives than to show the effect of their continuing example and

inspiration upon us. “The craft of history,” Prof. James Tracy once

noted, “is one that grows from sharing, not just among individuals and

across national and ideological boundaries, but also between generations.”
