Eva T. H. Brann (born 1929)[citation needed] is a former dean (1990–1997) and the longest-serving tutor (1957–present) at St. John's College, Annapolis.[1] She is a 2005 recipient of the National Humanities Medal.[2]

Brann was born to a Jewish family in Berlin.[citation needed] She immigrated in 1941 to the United States and received her B.A. from Brooklyn College in 1950, her M.A. in Classics from Yale University in 1951, and her Ph.D. in Archaeology from Yale in 1956. She also holds an Honorary Doctorate from Middlebury College.

In her early years at St. John's, she was very close to Jacob Klein. After Klein died, Brann increasingly assumed his role as the defining figure of St. John's, the St. John's program, and the continuing dialogue with the Great Books represented by the program.
