Abstract
Charles Edward MacBean (1899-1984) graduated from Reed in 1932 and, at the height of the Depression, could find no teaching job so became a logger. He remained in logging and construction all his life. MacBean translated Homer's Iliad and Odyssey and other Greek texts into English dactyllic hexameter, and several manuscript translations exist in these papers, along with various poems, plays, and biographical materials.
