Julia G. Phelps '37, an expert in German art and a lecturer in the Radcliffe Seminar Program, died October 2 at the age of 72.
Phelps was an active instructor in the program for 32 years and was planning her newest class for next semester, family members said. A memorial service was held in her honor on Saturday at King's Chapel in Boston.
Phelps was a life-long member of the Harvard community. She received her bachelors in philosophy from Radcliffe and her masters and doctorate in fine arts from Harvard.
Phelps was a lecturer on German art at the College. She began teaching in the Radcliffe Seminar Program in 1962.
Dean of the Graduate School of Education Jerome T. Murphy said Phelps brought "a slightly different perspective as a coach and a government official."
