Alfred Remy

Born in Elberfeld, Germany, on March 16, 1870, Alfred Remy emigrated to the United States as a child and built a career that combined scholarship, teaching, and journalism. He studied at the College of the City of New York, graduating in 1890, and later earned an M.A. from Columbia University in 1905.

Remy taught languages in several schools and also wrote about music, serving as a critic for Vogue. Reference sources describe him as both a philologist and a writer on music, which fits the broad range of his published work.

His books include Alarcon's Novelas Cortas Escogidas, Spanish Prose Composition, and, with Erwin W. Roessler, A First Spanish Reader. He also edited the third edition of Theodore Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians. Remy died in New York on February 26, 1937.
