<div>'''Lambros Demetrios Callimahos''' ([[December 16]], [[1910]] &ndash; [[October 28]],[[1977]]) was a [[United States Army|US Army]] [[cryptography|cryptologist]]. Born in [[Alexandria]] of [[Greek people|Greek]] parents, the family emigrated to the [[United States]] when he was four. His father was a [[journalist]].<br />
<br />
His main interests at school were in chemistry, physics and medicine.<br />
<br />
He didn't show interest in [[music]] until the age of fourteen when he entered [[high school]] in [[Asbury Park]].<br />
<br />
He earned a degree in [[law]] from [[Rutgers]] in accord with his fathers' wishes, but attended [[Juilliard]] at the age of nineteen and graduated with a degree in 1933. While he started at the bottom of the class, he became head of his class in his second year due to encouragement from his teacher, [[Arthur Lora]]. After graduation, he continued study in [[Europe]]. <br />
<br />
==Musical career==<br />
His musical debut was in [[Munich]] in 1935 and was heralded as ''Meisterfloetist''. He also played in [[Vienna]] and that autumn played an all-[[Bach]] programme in [[Munich]], consisting of the seven sonatas and his own transcription for flute and harpsichord of the B-Minor suite. He had a two-year tour of recitals in [[Europe]] and was appointed to a professorship in the [[Mozarteum]].<br />
<br />
In April 1937, he had his first [[United States]] debut in [[The Town Hall]]. He continued to tour both in [[Europe]] and the [[United States]].<br />
<br />
==World War 2==<br />
He joined the [[United States Army]] in 1941, hoping his interest in [[cryptology]] could be put to service.<br />
<br />
He taught [[Italian language|Italian]] and [[cryptanalysis]] at [[Fort Monmouth]]. He enrolled in a [[Japanese language|Japanese]] course and eventually served as a [[SIGINT|Signals Intelligence]] officer in [[New Delhi]].<br />
<br />
==Later career==<br />
After World War II, he was assigned to the [[Army Security Agency]] as assistant to [[William F. Friedman]]. When the [[National Security Agency]] was formed, both men joined it. During the 1950s he developed the course [[CA-400]], an expansion of Friedman's own intensive-study course. Graduates of the course became members of the [[Dundee Society]]. As part of this course he devised the [[Zendian Problem]]. He also revised some of Friedman's own work to produce the text ''[[Military Cryptanalytics]]''.<br />
<br />
In 1955, he established the [[NSA Technical Journal]] and served as technical advisor for the rest of his career.<br />
<br />
Health problems forced his retirement in 1976.<br />
