Memorial Notices John Ambrose (Offered by Allison Harvey) John William Ambrose, Jr., Professor Emeritus of Classical languages at Bowdoin College and long-time CANE member died in Topsham, Maine on November 7, 2014. He was born in Grafton, Massachusetts in 1931. He earned his A.B., M.A., and doctorate degrees in classics from Brown University. John’s teaching career began at Roxbury Latin School in 1956, followed by assignments at Phillips Andover Academy and the Taft School. For 34 years he served as instructor and Dean of Students at St. George’s Summer School in Rhode Island. In 1966 John began his 34-year career at Bowdoin College where, in 1977, he was named Joseph E. Merrill Professor of Greek. Among his publications are two of Preparatory Latin, The Ironic Meaning of the Lolius Ode, Greek Attitudes, and two Bryn Mawr commentaries. John served CANE in numerous capacities, most notably as on-site coordinator for the 1981 Annual Meeting at Bowdoin College and as CANE president in 1995. Of special significance to many high school Latin teachers were the NEH grants that John secured in 1986 and ’87 for the Greek Summer Institute at Bowdoin, considered to this day by many participants to be the crown jewel of their professional experiences. John concluded a convocation address to Bowdoin’s class of 2002, by saying, “I am a professor, and I cannot imagine enjoying any form of work as much as teaching bright young men and women.” Indeed, John was first and foremost a teacher, one who practiced his art with remarkable élan. His wisdom and contagious passion for his subject, and his uncanny ability to ease apprehension while preserving rigor inspired in his students confidence, scholarly discipline, and a lifelong love of classical literature. John showed consummate respect for every student, and many have expressed profound gratitude for his generous presence in their lives.
