Here is a story of Prof. Sophocles which has possibly never been in print. The old Greek was catechising his class one day on the ancient history of his native country. "When did Theodophilus live?" he asked of one sophomore. "Before Christ." "Wrong!" shouted the professor. And then the next sophomore: "When did Theodophilus live?" "After Christ." "Wrong!" shouted the professor again. And then he repeated the question to the third student: "When did Theodophilus live?" "Neither before nor after Christ!" "You are right, young man!" said the professor. "There never was any such man as Theodophilus." It was one of the little historical traps that Sophocles liked to set for the budding wisdom of Harvard. - Boston Record.
