NOTES

Charles J. Zabrowski graduated summa cum laude from Canisius College in 1967. Following his master’s at Toronto, he received a Ph.D. in Classics by Fordham Uni­versity. His two primary passions were paleog­raphy, in particular the editing of the Byzantine manu­scripts of the ancient Greek dramatist Aeschylus and the scholia attached to those manuscripts, and the teach­ing of Classical Greek to undergraduates. The recipient of several grants for his research in palaeography, he published a number of articles in academic journals. After stints at Elmira College, Boston College, and Creighton University, he came to teach in the Department of Classics at Gettysburg College, where he progressed through the ranks to Full Professor, served as Secretary of the Fac­ulty (1995-1998) and as Department Chair (1998-2004), and taught his beloved classical Greek to an astonishing variety and number of students. Wearing his academic gown as a symbol of his profession, he was a well-known figure on the campus and in the local community.
