Ernest Gottlieb Sihler (1853–1942) was a professor of classics at New York University. Born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, he was the son of Lutheran missionary Wilhelm Sihler and great-uncle to Andrew Sihler. Sihler's professional name was Ernest G. Sihler, but within the Sihler family he was always known as Gottlieb.
He was a classics instructor in New York from 1879 to 1891, and a professor at Concordia College in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from 1891 to 1892. He then became a professor at the Graduate School of New York University.[1] Not long after leaving Concordia College for the post at New York University, he endowed a library fund there for the purchase of "books of standard value" (i.e., presumably excluding rare books, incunabula, and so on).
