Biographical notes:

Gonzalez Lodge was born in Fort Littleton, Penn. on Dec. 19, 1863. He received his education at Johns Hopkins (A.B. 1883; Ph. D. 1886). In turn, he was Professor of Greek at Davidson (1886-88); Professor of Latin at Bryn Mawr College (1889-1900); and Professor of Latin and Greek at the Teachers College (Columbia University) (1900-30). He was honored with the degrees of LL. D. by Franklin & Marshall in 1901 and Litt. D. by Columbia University (1929). He died in New Canaan, Conn. on Dec. 23, 1942. Lodge is chiefly remembered as the founder and editor-in-chief of the Classical Weekly (now, Classical World) (1907-13); the writer of the Lexicon Plautinum (1901-24, 1925-33, issued originally in fascicles); and as one of the editors of the Gildersleeve-Lodge Latin Series. His dissertation was on Euripides; his first book on Plato. "Lodge was progressive in the best sense: he wanted to relate schoolwork to life, place language in its context of history and ethnology, put action into the classroom, and make the work important to students."
