In this paper prepared by for Professor Dr. K. Weitzmann of Princeton University in 1960, Kurt's command of art history and ability to write cogently on a subject is already quite evident. Kurt had previously spent a year at the University of Madrid while pursuing his undergraduate degree, which undoubtedly added to his interest in the subject of Mozarabic illumination. This is one of the shorter papers Kurt retained from his Princeton years; others, such as an analysis of Chinese scroll paintings were many times longer. His command of language--not only English--and the benefits of a classical education, combined with his extraordinary memory, made Kurt von Meier an exceptional student.
