About the author

Born in 1873 and dying in 1942, Howard Vernon Canter was an American scholar of classics whose work centered on Latin literature and philology. Reliable library and academic records connect him with The Infinitive Construction in Livy, a specialized study of Latin usage that reflects his close attention to Roman texts.

Rutgers University’s scholar records identify him as Howard Vernon Canter and preserve his place in the university’s academic history. The surviving public record is fairly spare, but it shows him as a serious early-20th-century classicist whose writing was aimed at students and fellow scholars of the ancient world.
