Arthur Leacock devoted 40 years to what he called "the congenial business of teaching Greek to boys," equaling the record of his predecessor, Bradbury Longfellow Cilley, like him a Harvard man. He worked on a manuscript called "Outlines of Greek Civilization," learned sufficient Italian to read Dante, played cello in a faculty trio, and remodeled a colonial house and garden in Exeter. A man of charm and droll New England humor, he was a beloved figure on campus for generations. He was succeeded by Henry Phillips.
