406 AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHILOLOGY.

performance of his function was remarkable for dignity of
bearing and felicity of phrase.

Thomas Dwight Goodell.
1854-1920.
Thomas Dwight Goodell, Lampson Professor of Greek in
Yale University, died after a short illness on the seventh of
last July. At the age of sixty-five, he had before him the
expectation of many productive years, and classical scholarship
has lost prematurely one of its most devoted and fruitful repre-
sentatives. Greek literature was to him, in extraordinary degree,
the most vitally real thing in life and there are few phases of it
that his painstaking scholarship had not investigated.
Goodell was born in Ellington, Connecticut, November 8,
1854. He graduated from Yale College in 1877. After gradu-
ation he spent eleven years teaching in the Hartford High
School. On May 9, 1878, he was married to Julia A. Andross,
who survives him. He was called to Yale in 1888, made Pro-
fessor of Greek in 1893, and served in that capacity until his
death. He was Professor in residence at the American School
in Athens for the year 1894-1895 and in 1912 was President of
the American Philological Association.
Such a bare outline of facts merely suggests the varied schol-
arly activities of Professor Goodell; few men have touched so
many phases of Greek life and thought as are to be found treated
in his published work. Three scholarly achievements will al-
ways overtop the rest, assuring him the lasting respect of the
world of scholars: his Chapters on Greek Metric, published in
1902; his Commemorative Greek Ode, with music by Horatio
Parker, sung at the Yale Bi-centennial ; and his Athenian
Drama, now in press. The Greek Ode represents his mastery
of metrical technique, quickened by a creative poetic sense. The
accurate, almost meticulous scholarship of his Greek Metric
never failed him, but in the Athenian Drama it proved to have
been in reality the solid foundation of a deep and sympathetic
appreciation of the animating spirit of Greek genius.
More than thirty articles, as well as the Grammar of Attic
Greek in the Twentieth Century text-book series (1901), bear
testimony to Goodell's unflagging pursuit of truth and his burn-
ing enthusiasm for his subject. He was the author of some

exquisite sonnets and wrote more than one article on English
versification; syntax, semantics, and metric occupied much of
his teaching time and his work in these fields bore fruit in the
form of numerous papers. But the Drama and Plato were the
objects of his most ardent devotion. In these centered his
favorite courses and it is here that he made his greatest con-
tribution to classical scholarship.
Goodell has left a record of varied scholarly achievements
accomplished through years of unremitting toil. He will stand
in classical annals as the exponent of unsparing accuracy in
scholarship and as the untiring champion of classical culture
against the invasion of utilitarian education.
