Memorial to Dr. 0. J. Todd
The Committee on Memorial Minutes had prepared a
memorial statement to Dr. 0. J. Todd, as follows:
Otis Johnson Todd. A.B.. Ph.D.(Harvard). F.R.S.C
With deep sorrow and regret the Senate records
its sense of loss in the death on January 16, 1957,
of Dr. Otis Johnson Todd, Professor Emeritus of
Classics, at the age of 73. A graduate of Harvard,
(A.B. Summa cum laude. 1906, with Highest Final
Honours in Classics, Ph.D. in Classics, 1914), for
34 years he devoted his great talents as Scholar,
Teacher and Administrator, to the University of
British Columbia.
He was first appointed to U.B.C. as Assistant
Professor of Classics in 1918. Two years later he
became Associate Professor; in 1922 he was made
Professor of Greek, and in 1932, Professor of
Classics. He succeeded Dr. Lemuel Robertson as
Head of the Department in 1941, and he continued
his work as teacher for three years after his
retirement in 1949.
He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa (1905), The
American Philological Association, and the Classical
Association of the Pacific States, Northern Section,
of which he was President, 1939-40. He was elected
Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1942.
He read widely and deeply in the literature of
Greece and Rome, a fact to which his numerous articles
in classical journals bear ample evidence. In 1922
was published, in the Loeb Classical Library, his
edition and translation of Xenophon's 'Banquet* and
Socrates* 'Defence to the Jury*.
While a student at Harvard he formed a close
acquaintance with the eminent Greek Scholar, John
Williams White, with whom he began work on an Index
J Wednesday, February 13th, 1957 2380
to Aristophanes. Twenty years later, in 1932, Dr.
Todd completed this work which was published in
that year by the Harvard Press.
His University interests and activities always
extended beyond the class room and his own professional
field of study. To the Classics Club, he and Mrs.
Todd gave open-hearted hospitality in their home.
He served as a member of the Senate from 1941 to
1948 and of numerous University Committees. As
Secretary of the Extension Committee, he had much
to do with formulating and carrying out U.B.C.
policy in the period before an Extension Department
came into existence. For many years, also, he
rendered outstanding service as a member of the
Ceremonies Committee and of the Board of Examiners.
In sports, there are probably few University
teachers in Canada, other than Physical Educationists,
who have contributed more to the development of
amateur games, inside and outside the University,
whether as participant, Executive Counsellor, or
Spectator. Until quite recently he continued to
play Tennis and Badminton. He served on the U.B.C.
Athletic Awards Committee and was an Honorary
Member of the Big Block Club. His interest centred
in Association Football, in which game five of his
six sons played for the U.B.C Thunderbirds, and a
grandson won his Big Block last year. His
contribution to Football was recognized by his
election, in 1947 and again in 1948, as President,
Dominion of Canada Football Association.
All his six sons are graduates of U.B.C:
Lieutenant-Colonel Duncan Kent, D.S.O., (B.A.*28),
Alan Lownds, (B.A.*42), David Park. (B.A. '34,
B.Ed. »48), Laurie Paul, (B.A. '35). Douglas
(B.A. '41), and Stuart, (B.S.A. '48); his daughter,
Lois (Mrs. Stanley Barker) is a non-graduate
Alumna. A grandson, Stanley Barker, (B.A.*55), is
a graduate assistant in the Departments of
Mathematics and Physics; two grandsons and a
granddaughter are undergraduates this year.
To his widow, Mrs. Helen Todd, and to his
family, members of Senate send an expression of
their deepest sympathy.
Colonel Logan)
Dr. Sage ) That this statement be approved and
spread on the minutes of Senate, and
that a copy be sent to Mrs. Todd and
her family.
Carried. Wednesday, February 13th, 1957 2381
