Obituary

Professor D. R. Shackleton Bailey, Latinist, was born on December 10, 1917. He died on November 28, 2005, aged 87. In his obituary in The Times (November 22, 2005) it is noted that among his many laudable accomplishments, the esteemed professor had a vast “capacity for alcohol . . and he was a stalwart of the infamous party given at the annual meeting of the American Philological Association by the Petronian Society. He used to stand on his head at social events.”
