Professor Evangelinus Apostolides Sophocles died yesterday morning in his room in Holworthy at the age of seventy-six. For the last three years Professor Sophocles has been unable to take any active part in teaching on account of his continued ill-health. He was a Greek, his birth-place being near Mt. Pelion, in Thessaly, and received his early education in the convent on Mt. Sinai. When but a youth he emigrated to the United States, and in this country completed his education at Amherst College. He was tutor in Greek at Harvard for a number of years, then became assistant professor, and in 1860 was appointed to the full professorship of ancient, Byzantine and modern Greek. He was the author of a large number of books on the Greek language, his principle work being a "Greek Lexicon of the Roman and Byzantine Periods" Professor Sophocles was a very learned scholar and a most successful teacher.
