Biographical history
The study of classics was at the core of the Dalhousie College curriculum from the beginning and continued to be so, albeit in a slightly diminished form, right through the middle of the twentieth century. While the establishment of the first chair in classics, Professor John Johnson, occurred when Dalhousie reopened as a university in 1863, it was 1924 when McLeod Professor Howard Murray (pictured above) was appointed head of a Department of Classics. In 2009 the department absorbed the former Department of Religious Studies and in 2017 began also to administer the Arabic Studies Program.
