Notes:
Lewis Parke Chamberlayne was born to a distinguished Virginia family and was trained by C. W. Bain at McCabe's School in Richmond, one of the finest in the South. After a career of teaching in private schools, he was a student of Wilamowitz, E. Meyer, Vahlen, and W. Schulze at Berlin and of Blass, Wissowa, Dittenberger, and Kern at Halle. After his two years at Amherst, he succeeded his teacher Bain at the University of South Carolina, where an untimely death cut off a promising career. His daughter Elizabeth married Moses Hadas.
