Professor Frederic Peachy (81) died April 15 of complications resulting from a
fall in his home in Inverness, California. A distinguished scholar, Frederic
Peachy was Professor Emeritus of Classics at Reed College, where he had served
as Department Chairman.
His academic career began in 1939 with two years at Harvard as a teaching
assistant in French. After four years of military service, he taught French at
Brown University followed by two years as a Classics professor at the
University of Maine and six years at the University of California, Berkeley.
He spent his final 28 years of teaching at Reed College, retiring in 1984.
During his 40 years in academia, Professor Peachy devoted much of his life to
the promotion of Classics. His numerous publications include Clareti
Enigma, the Latin Riddles of Claret and "Pound's 'Cantos': A Greek
Approach." He was active in the Philological Association of the Pacific Coast
as Secretary-Treasurer, Vice President, and President. He also edited a
newsletter for the teachers of Latin and Greek in the state of Oregon. Above
all, he was a devoted teacher. Richard Tron, who currently chairs the Classics
Department at Reed College, said on the occasion of his retirement: "Fred
Peachy is the finest teacher I've ever worked with. He combines an
intellectual vigor with humane consideration of student needs and concerns..."
Frederic Peachy was born in Seattle on December 29, 1915, the son of Anna Furth
(Terry) Peachy and William S. Peachy. When he was six, the family moved to
Paris. He attended Pembroke Lodge and Marlborough College in England,
subsequently receiving License es Lettres (1935) and Diplome d'Etudes
Superieurs (1936) from the University of Paris. He did not spend all his
time with books. While at the Sorbonne, he won the French Federation of Boxing
University Championship as an amateur middleweight. He returned to the United
States in 1937 to attend Harvard University, where he received both his M.A.
(1938) and Ph.D. (1948).
Having enlisted in the Marine Corps, Frederic Peachy served with distinction
during World War II, in the First Marine Division. On Guadalcanal, he was
commissioned in the field. Later he was awarded the Bronze Star for service on
New Britain. He retired as Lieutenant Colonel in the Reserves.
Professor Peachy is survived by his wife Bernice, of Inverness, California;
three sons - William of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; John of New York City; and
Nicholas of Somerset, Massachusetts;--a daughter Anna Desenberg, of Albany,
California; and a brother, Peter Babalian of Kansas City, Missouri, as well as
eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. The family suggests any
contributions be made to the Frederic Peachy Memorial Fund for Classics, Reed
College, 3203 S.E. Woodstock Blvd., Portland, Oregon 97202, or West Marin
Senior Services, Box 791, Pt. Reyes Station, California 94956.
