Lewis Campbell, classical scholar (3 September 1830 to 25 October 1908) was educated at Edinburgh Academy, the University of Glasgow, Trinity College, Oxford and Balliol College, Oxford. He was fellow and tutor of the Queen's College, Oxford (1855-1858), vicar of Milford, Hampshire (1858-1863), and professor of Greek at the University of St Andrews (1863-1894). In 1894, he was elected an honorary fellow of Balliol College, Oxford. From 1894 to 1896 he gave the Gifford Lectures, which were published in 1898. His classical work was chiefly centred on Sophocles and Plato, but he was also the biographer of his school-friend, James Clerk Maxwell, and of Benjamin Jowett, Master of Balliol, whose joint literary executor he was.
