- Notes:
Ted Ramage spent his entire career as a faculty member in Indiana University's Department of Classical Studies and served the Bloomington campus in many capacities through the course of his career. He was a very productive and wide-ranging scholar who remained active in his retirement, publishing nine substantial articles on a range of topics. As a teacher. Ted shared his love of the classics with thousands of undergraduate students, and directed the dissertations of Andrew Adams, Mark Clark, Charles O. Lloyd, Arthur W. Robinson, and Ann Vasaly. Ann Vasaly wrote "Ted Ramage was a thoughtful and conscientious teacher, a fine scholar, and a decent and admirable man. His presence for many years in the Classics Department at Indiana University contributed greatly to its scholarly reputation, as well as to the the excellence of the graduate program. As I look back on a career of some thirty years of teaching, administration, and scholarship, I am struck by the importance to me of Ted's dedication nd generosity as teacher and mentor during the crucial years that launched me on that journey."
