NOTES

Margaret Reesor was a native of Toronto who attended Riverdale Collegiate Institute and Victoria College at the University of Toronto. After receiving her doctorate at Bryn Mawr, she taught at a variety of institutions in the United States for a decade before returning to Canada, where she spent the remainder of her career at Queens, in Kingston. In her department, "She was greatly admired as a teacher in a wide range of classical subjects, including Greek language, literature, and philosophy, and the Latin writers Cicero, Lucretius, Virgil, and Seneca, and as a much-published authority on the Pre-Socratic, Stoic, and Epicurean philosophers." Her dissertation was published to positive reviews and she maintained to publish on the Stoics well into her retirement.
