Life and career

Benedict was born in Poughkeepsie, New York and graduated from Poughkeepsie High School in 1930. He attended Cornell University before transferring to University of New Mexico, earning a bachelor of arts degree there in 1934.[1] He then attended Harvard University earning a master's degree in 1935 and a Ph.D. in anthropology in 1941. During his studies, he traveled to Asia and studied at University of California for two years.[2]

After he received his M.D. degree at the New York Medical College, he served as Chief Psychiatrist and Director of the Diagnostic Center at the New York State Department of Corrections.[3] Benedict later published work on mental health in other cultures before turning his attention to language studies.

Benedict's work on Proto-Sino-Tibetan reconstruction was published in the 1972 monograph Sino-Tibetan: A Conspectus.[4] His work formed the basis for James Matisoff's work on the Sino-Tibetan Etymological Dictionary and Thesaurus, including Matisoff's Proto-Tibeto-Burman reconstructions.[5]

Benedict died in a traffic collision in Ormond Beach, Florida.
