Cornelius Conway Felton (6 November 1807-26 February 1862), classical scholar, was born in Newbury, Massachusetts. He graduated from Harvard College in 1827. Lacking funds to pursue an independent career, he continued teaching at Harvard, going from a tutor in Latin to Elliot Professor of Greek Literature in 1834, and finally was named president of the school in 1860. His long service ended with his death, in Chester, Pennsylvania, of continued ill health, two years later. Felton is known mainly for his Greece: Ancient and Modern (Boston: Ticknor & Fields, 1867), a posthumous collection of his Lowell Institute lectures designed for a general audience.
