NOTES

"Clem" Steam's schooling under W. H. D. Rouse at Perse School, Cambridge, invested him with lasting insights into the direct method of teaching Latin and Greek, and with a penchant for grammar and pronunciation. A committed teacher and selfless administrator, a non-publishing scholar, he captivated students with his forays into classical art ("Steam's Urns" was a perennial and cherished offering). His roles as president of the Hamilton Art Gallery and director of extension at McMaster for 16 years helped to win valuable support for the classics from the citizenry and from patrons in Hamilton and the region.
