NOTES

Roy C. Flickinger is best known for his Greek Theater and Its Drama, for his longtime editorial service on the staff of Classical Journal, and for his chairmanship of the Horatian bimillenary in 1935. He wrote over 40 articles and reviews, and gained a reputation that was international in scope. Though he gave long service to CJ, the editorship in which Flickinger took the very greatest pride and personal pleasure was that of Iowa Studies in Classical Philology, for each volume was an Iowa dissertation that he had directed. At least one monograph appeared in the series every year from 1934 to 1940. At the time of his death eight were planned. He was instrumental in organizing Eta Sigma Phi, the national honor society for Latin and Greek students, and was chairman of the board of trustees in 1940. Almost entirely on his initiative a successful Bimillennium Horatianum was observed both here and abroad.
