Photograph of Nicholas Victor Artamonoff from The 1930 Record, the Robert College Yearbook.

Artamonoff entered Robert College in 1922, completed high school in 1925, and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering in 1930. His yearbook entry from The 1930 Record, his graduation year, offers insight into his photography and personality: An ardent photographer with a complete knowledge of his subject, Artamonoff has given the College much valuable service with his camera. He specializes in writing reports and handing them in on time. (Perhaps this is due to the experience of correcting those of the Physics students.) He is quiet and refined. He is the inventor of the half-cigarette which is ideal for use between periods and just before the morning exercises.
