NOTES

Jefferson Elmore served in the Stanford classics department of his teachers Fairclough, Murray, and Walter Miller. His chief interest was in grammar and composition. His Latin Composition was based on Cicero's De Senectute and on Terence's Phormio and Andria. Elmore declared in the introduction that he aimed not so much at the translation of set sentences as at the “translation of experience.” Reviews found the volume more useful to students who have already completed a reading course on Cicero and Terence, but still of value for anyone. Elmore concentrated on teaching and published only sporadically throughout his career, though he often presented papers at APA meetings.
