...teachers of modern languages in this country, and to discuss methods of teaching the languages and the means of elevating the standard of instruction.- Professors from the best known colleges in the country will attend the convention, Yale, Harvard, Amherst, Williams, and Princeton among others being on the list as certain to send representatives. Unquestionably a great deal of good might be accomplished by an organization of this kind. Marked differences of opinion now prevail as to methods in teaching the modern languages. If uniformity be wholly an impossible thing, as it probably is, it remains clear that the present...

Professor Sophocles stood by collegiate seniority, third in the list of the Faculty of Harvard college, being between Professor Loveting and Professor Torry.

...until his death. He again visited Greece in 1860. In 1870 he got out a subscription edition of his 'Greek Lexicon of the Roman and Byzantine Periods.' It is a work of authority still in use, and many inquiries for it in recent years have been referred to the list of subscribers in the hope that thus might be discovered a copy left, perhaps by death, unused and uncherished. A continuation of the Lexicon, comprising the period from 1100 A. D. to the present, was in course of preparation in Prof. Sophocles' hands until within a few years, when infirmity...
...latter part of the book is taken up with a list of the college athletic associations, among which the Polo Club appears for the first time, and with the customary athletic records. These have been carefully prepared and important additions have been made in giving the best Harvard records and the measurements of the '86 crews, besides the measurements of the university crew. We should prefer to see the athletic associations given preference in point of space to the Harvard Clubs which are not very important to the students and could well be placed at the end of the book...
