– February 26, 1862) was an American educator. He was regent of the Smithsonian Institution,

as well as professor of Greek literature and president of Harvard

University. Felton was born in West Newbury,

Massachusetts. He graduated from Harvard University in

1827, having taught school in the winter vacations of his sophomore and junior

years. During his undergraduate years, he was also a member of the Hasty Pudding. After

teaching in the Livingstone High School of Geneseo, New York,

for two years, he became tutor at Harvard in 1829, university professor

of Greek in 1832, and

Eliot Professor of Greek Literature in 1834.[1] In 1860 he succeeded James Walker as

president of Harvard, which position he held until his death. He was elected a

member of the American Antiquarian

Society in 1854. Felton edited many classical texts.

His annotations on Wolf's text of the Iliad (1833)

are especially valuable. Greece, Ancient and Modern (2 vols.,

1867), forty-nine lectures before the Lowell Institute, is scholarly, able and suggestive of the

author's personality. Among his miscellaneous publications are the American

edition of Sir William Smith's History

of Greece (1855); translations of Menzel's German Literature (1840), of Munk's Metres of the Greeks and Romans (1844),

and of Guyot's Earth and

Man (1849); and Familiar Letters from Europe (1865).
