- Notes:
Lloyd Daly held unfailingly high standards as a philologist and as a human being. To generations of admiring students, his calm midwestern accent communicated both wisdom and concern. Daly's splendidly thorough course on the history of classical scholarship initiated generations of graduate students into the tools of our discipline. What could have been a drab recitation of bibliography became a presentation of old and intimate friends.
