SIDN EY NORTON DEANE 1878-1943 Member of the Managing Committee, 1932-1943 Chairman of the Committee on Fellowships, 1937-1943 It is with profound regret and sorrow, that, on the eve of the Annual Meeting, the members of the Managing Committee learned of the unexpected death, on May 4, 1943, of our fellow member, Professor Sidney Norto n D eane, Professor of Greek at Smith College. Professor Deane, a student of the School in 1904-05, was elected co the Manag­ ing Committee in 1932. He was a member of the Committee on Publications in 1936-37, .and had served as Chairman of the Committee on Fellowships from 1936 to the present time. The exacting duties of this office he performed with characteristic modesty and complete success. He will be sorely missed. May 8,1943 ROY CASTON FLIC.KlNGER 1876-1942 Member of the Managing Committee, 1926-1942 LaRue Van Hook Roy Caston Flickinger died at Iowa City, July 6, 1942. He was born December 17, 1876. Professor Flickinger was a graduate of Northwestern University ( 1899) andre­ ceived his M.A. from that University in 1901, and his doctor of philosophy degree from The University of Chicago in 1904. The following year he was a student at the University of Berlin. He began his connection with Northwestern University as a teacher in 1905 and remained there as instrucror, associate professor, professor, secretary of the faculty, and dean of the College of Liberal Arcs ( 1919-1923) until 1925. He then accepted a call to be head of the Department of Oassical Languages at the State University of Iowa, a position which he held until his death. Professor Flickinger was very active in classical organizations as president of the Chicago Society of the Archaeological Institute, member of the executive com­ mittee of the American Philological Association, and secretary and treasurer of that Association, 1932-1935. He was a member of the executive committee of the American Oassical League and was one of the most distinguished and devoted mem­ bers of the Classical Association of the Middle West and South. He was the editor of its Classical journal , 1928-1933, and president of the Association in 1932. He was active in the classical honor fraternity, Eta Sigma Phi, and was a senator of Phi Beta Kappa at the time of his death. 18 He was the author of numerous technical philological articles. On the peda­ gogical side he published a series of Latin Songs for Latin Clttbs ( 1924) and Car­ m_ina Latina ( 1919; 4th edition, 1929). His greatest service to scholarship was his volume, The Greek Theater and Its Drama, which first appeared in 1918; the fourth edition was published in 1936. This book has deservedly become the rec­ ognized authority on this subject. Flicki_nger ':as one of the best-known classical teachers in the country. He was ~ man of wdomaable ener~ and systematic endeavor. His work, however heavy lt was, never overwhelmed h1m. He always pushed his work. I remember his ask­ ~ng me o_ne January ro approve a menu of the dinner tO be served to the Archaeolog­ Ical Insnrute and the Philological Association the following December. He was associated with me in the conduct of the Summer Session of the School in Athens in 1933, an association which I greatly enjoyed. By his own enthusiastic teaching he made the State University of Iowa a center of . classical study. His doctors are teaching with success in many positions in the M1ddle West. They are a proud tribute to his energy and ability. He organized and almost single-handed maintained the Iowa Society of the Archaeological Insti­ tute. His loss here as in other .fields is well-nigh irreparable. University of Illinois Urbana, Illinois May 8, 1943 Louis E. Lord 19
