As the longest serving member of the university faculty, Dr. David Seale has become a mainstay of the Classics Department. Dr. Seale started his university career with an undergraduate degree in Latin and Greek from the University of London. He then did an MA and a PhD, both in Greek literature, at McMaster University and at the University of London, respectively. He is the author of Vision and Stagecraft in Sophocles (published by the University of Chicago Press), and is currently working on a book about Euripides. Having taught at Bishop's University since 1965, Dr. Seale offers courses in Greek and Roman history, Greek Drama, Mythology and the Greek language. He feels that the small classes and contact with professors make Bishop's a great choice for students.
