Martin Luther D’Ooge

Biography

Martin Luther D’Ooge (1839–1915) was devoted to classical scholarship and to guiding students in their study of ancient literature, enriching the academy with clear explanations of Greek texts and inspiring many to pursue disciplined study.

His influence extended beyond lecture halls, for he was always ready with encouraging words and patient counsel, and Forest Hill Cemetery now keeps his memory while inviting visitors to recall the thoughtful scholar who shaped so many minds.
