JOHN LEVERETT MOORE
l849 - 1926
In the death of Professor Emeritus John Leverett
Moore, the faculty of Vassar College has lost a
loyal and distinguished colleague. Throughout his
thirty-two years of work here, Mr. Moore stood con-
spicuously for three things: sympathetic under-
standing of the undergraduate's point of view, sin-
cere and helpful cooperation with his co-workers
and unswerving fealty to his own high ideals of
scholarship. His unostentatious labor is recorded
in the minutes of comittees on which he served and
in the content of the classical library and the
museum which he established.
His more subtle and undefinable contribution to the
annals of Vassar is the prestige gained from having
associated with the college during so long a period
a professor eminent and respected in American cir-
cles of classical scholars. His work lives on
through the gratitude of the students he encouraged
the friendship of his friends, and the devotion of
his department.
