Stuart Norris Wolfenden (1889 – 28 December 1938) was a linguist who worked at the University of California, Berkeley during the first part of the 20th century.[1] During the New Deal he was titular head of the Sino-Tibetan philology project, which both Robert Shafer and Paul K. Benedict were directors of. In the 1970s the 'Stuart Wolfenden Society' was founded in his honor, together with a monograph series 'Occasional papers of the Wolfenden Society', in which James Matisoff published many of his early works.
