Carried. 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.
