James Thomas Lees

Lees was a faculty member from 1889 to 1926. Hailing from England, he believed the study of Classics to be an elitist course of study. he loved teaching Greek, but it probably didn't concern him that the number of working class students choosing to study the Classics was decreasing. He probably felt that it should remain a high class subject.
