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
included fellowships of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, the
Fulbright Senior Research Program, the National Endowment for the
Humanities, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the
Historisches Kolleg in Munich, the National Humanities Center, 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.”
