, % m DR. FLOYD G. BALLENTINE Dr. Ballentine was graduated from Bucknell in the class of 1899. After four years at Harvard, where he received his Master of Arts and Doctor of Phil- osophy degrees, he returned to our campus as an instructor in Latin. From 1904 to 1915 he held the position of Assistant Professor in Latin. In 1915 he was ap- pointed a full Professor in Latin and continued in that capacity until his retire- ment in 1949. In 1936 he was also appointed Professor of Greek. In all, Dr. Ballentine served Bucknell continuously lor 46 years. Not only did he make his mark in the academic field, but he was likewise ac- tive in other phases of Bucknell life. In 1 93 1 he accepted the post of varsity ten- nis coach which he retained until 1946. He served a longer period of service as an athletic coach at Bucknell than did any other individual. His faithful service to Bucknell also included such posts on the campus as editor of the Llniversity catalog for more than 20 years, president of the Bucknell Scholars, and chairman of the editorial committee of the Bucknell University Stu- dies. Dr. Ballentine was also a foundation member of the Mu chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. His literary contributions to well-known academic publications brought prestige to Bucknell and to her students. He edited an edition of Terence ' s play, The Tormentor. He is the author of articles which have appeared in the Har- vard Stiidies in Classical Philology, the Proceedings of the American Philolo- gical Association and The Classical Weekly. Throughout his entire career, he has worked consistently to increase the knowledge and understanding of the students at Bucknell. His long devoted s er- vice to the academic life of the University has left a mark which will not easily be surpassed. Dr. Ballentine truly symbolizes Bucknell as an educational institu- tion in a free society. » ♦ ♦ ♦
