Evangelinos Sophocles, from Thessaly, who came last, has long held the honorable position of a Professor in Harvard University.

Four others,--Anastatius Karavelles, Nicholas Petrokokino, Alexander G.Paspati, and Gregory Perdicaris, were useful to the mission at different times after their return to the East.

Several young men from the Armenian nation were likewise educated in the United States, and one of these, Hohannes, was until his death, a useful minister of the gospel among his countrymen.
