Whitman's higher education and professional life were all spent at Harvard. He was very selective in the very few professional organizations to which he belonged and through which he also exercised a profound influence on the interpretation of key Greek authors. His love of Greece and Greek literature was deep and continuing. The fact that Whitman's scholarly contributions were quickly and nationally recognized early in his career is a clear indication of his genius. The Goodwin Award for Sophocles: A Study of Heroic Humanism and the Phi Beta Kappa Christian Gauss Prize in Literary Criticism in 1958 for Homer and the Heroic Tradition are ample evidence. He received grants for study of the Modern Greek Shadow Theater from the National Endowment of the Humanities and the American Philosophical Society. Whitman was a quiet, unassuming, gentle person, who taught without ostentation at his alma mater till his untimely death. He had thorough grounding in traditional classical philology but he was also conversant with modern literary criticism and was familiar with the discoveries of classical archaeology." - Rutgers University
