In 1936, McGregor's graduate adviser at Cincinnati, A. B. West, who had been collaborating with Benjamin D. Meritt on a new edition of the Athenian tribute lists, died unexpectedly and McGregor was invited to join Meritt and H. T. Wade-Gery in West's place. The resulting publication won the Goodwin Award of Merit for 1954. In that same year, McGregor moved to Vancouver to take up the Headship of the Department of Classics at his alma mater, a position he held until two years before his retirement from the UBC faculty. However, after his retirement, he continued to offer a course in ancient history at Vancouver Community College until shortly before his death. McGregor was a campus personality who left a strong impression upon students and colleagues alike. Retirement was not of his choice. But his interest in classics remained unabated until his death.
