Albert Hoxie was a beloved History instructor who inspired tens of thousands of students over his 46 year teaching career at UCLA. An expert on Renaissance art, Hoxie loved travel and teaching. Upon his death in 1999,  Professor Hoxie bequeathed his extensive collection of over 160,000 European art and architecture slides along with his personal library and a generous monetary endowment to the UCLA Department of History.  His generous donation is providing graduate fellowships, research funds for junior faculty, and continuing access to his wonderful collection of slides for not only UCLA students and faculty, but all educators.
