Mustard was one of our first classicists who devoted himself seriously and extensively to the study of the classical tradition. A man with an amazing breadth of knowledge he came to Johns Hopkins as had his fellow Canadians G.J. Laing and H.R. Fairclough to study Greek Latin and Sanskrit under Minton Warren Gildersleeve Kirby Flower Smith and Maurice Bloomfield. Following stints at Colorado College and Haverford he returned to Johns Hopkins as Collegiate Professor. At the death of Kirby Flower Smith Mustard was elevated to Professor of Latin joining Tenney Frank in the administration of the program. His most enduring work is his contribution to our study of the ancient sources of the European pastoral work that he fostered by his regular classes in pastoral poetry. His work on classical echoes in Tennyson as well as other English poets is always precise and encyclopedic and his ability to find correspondences and allusions in authors widely separated by place and time represents a diversity if not a skill in reading that has nearly disappeared. He served classics effectively in the pages of AJP as associate editor writing numerous reports and reviews." - Rutgers University Johns Hopkins Press hardcover
