Sir Charles Walston

Abstract

WE regret to record the death of Sir Charles Walston, the well-known Cambridge archaeologist. Charles Walston (formerly Waldstein, the change in spelling having been effected in 1918 at the end of the War) was born in New York of parents of Jewish stock on Mar. 30, 1856. He was educated at Columbia and Heidelberg Universities, and went to Cambridge at the age of twenty-four at the invitation of Henry Bradshaw and Henry Sidgwick as a lecturer in classical archæology.
