This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Arthur Leslie Wheeler was born in Hartford, Connecticut. His father was William Ruthven Wheeler, an artist of distinction, of English ancestry; his mother was Emily Elizabeth (Crego) Wheeler, with Scottish forebears. Their family consisted of seven children.
After preparation in the public schools of Hartford, Wheeler entered Yale College, where he received the degree of A. B. in 1893. During the four years of his undergraduate life he won numerous Latin and Greek prizes and became a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He continued his studies at Yale after graduation and received the degree of Ph. D. in 1896.
In 1894, he had been appointed instructor in Latin, which position he held until 1900. In 1900 Wheeler was called to Bryn Mawr College as assistant professor and head of the department of classics and was made a professor in 1905. In 1920 he became faculty member of the board of trustees. He remained at Bryn Mawr until 1925, when he was called to Princeton University as professor of Latin. At Princeton he became head of the department of classics in 1926. He was a member of the managing committee of the American School of Classical Studies in Rome, 1901-03, president of the Philadelphia Classical Club, 1902-03, president of the Classical Association of the Atlantic States, 1923-24, a member of the executive committee of the American Philological Association from 1912, delegate of that Association to the American Council of Learned Societies from 1924, editorial contributor to the American Journal of Archæology from 1912, and Sather Professor and Lecturer at the University of California, 1927-28. In the second half of 1929 he was chairman of the committee on academic freedom and tenure of the American Association of University Professors. Wheeler's interests centered largely around the Latin poets and more especially around the types of poetry as they developed in Latin literature. His earliest papers, however, under the influence of E. P. Morris of Yale, were in the field of syntax. He published "The Uses of the Imperfect Indicative in Plautus and Terence", "The Imperfect Indicative in Early Latin", and "The Syntax of the Imperfect Indicative in Latin" (Classical Philology, October 1906). In 1917 he published "The Plot of the Epidicus of Plautus" (American Journal of Philology, July-August-September). He had already begun his researches on what was to be his particular field, however, with "Hieremias de Montagnone and Catullus" (American Journal of Philology, April-May-June, 1908). Many articles followed on Propertius, Roman elegy, satire, and Catullus. Perhaps the best known is the series "Propertius as Praeceptor Amoris" and "Erotic Teaching in Roman Elegy and the Greek Sources". His Sather lectures appeared in book form in 1934 under the title, Catullus and the Traditions of Ancient Poetry. He also published Ovid, with an English Translation: Tristia, Ex Ponto for the Loeb Classical Library in 1924. Wheeler was definitely interested in the various organizations devoted to the classics and served them continuously and well. His death, occasioned by cerebral hemorrhage, occurred at Princeton when he was in his sixtieth year.
On the side of personal influence in teaching and in the supervision of research, Wheeler was equally distinguished, perhaps more so. He furthered greatly the knowledge of and interest in the Latin poets and especially in the Roman elegy with which his name will be always associated. Both in research and in teaching, and also in the contacts of daily life, Wheeler was an effective exponent of the humanities.

(OVID: TRISTIA, EX PONTO)
He was a sound and meticulous scholar with impeccable taste and fine appreciation. He did not rank with the great productive scholars but contributed generously to their work and to American scholarship as a whole. His own words in a class record represent well his type of production: "As an investigator I want my name to stand for careful, sound, sensible work, and I have never published anything in the nature of investigation which has not been carefully done".
On June 20, 1894, he married May Louise Waters, who died in 1915. By her he had a daughter, Ruth. While still at Bryn Mawr, July 2, 1925, he married Prof. Anna Johnson Pell of the mathematics department.
