Abstract
After receiving his BA summa cum laude in 1949 from Oberlin College, he entered the graduate program in history at Columbia University where he took his MA (1950) and PhD (1955) under the direction of Garrett Mattingly His dissertation and first book, Geneva and the Coming of the Wars of Religion in France, 1555-1563 (Geneva, 1956), was a brilliant study of the French Reformed pastors trained at Geneva and subsequently dispatched for the conversion of their homeland. The project developed from his deep interest in the Reformed tradition and his conviction that the manuscript sources housed in the State Archives of Geneva are essential for understanding Calvin's aspirations and achievements.
