Arthur Wallace Pickard-Cambridge

Sir Arthur Wallace Pickard-Cambridge, (20 January 1873 – 7 February 1952) was a British classicist, Professor of Greek at the University of Edinburgh, and one of the greatest authorities on the theatre of ancient Greece in the first half of the 20th century.

Pickard-Cambridge was born in Bloxworth Rectory, the son of the Reverend Octavius Pickard-Cambridge (1828–1917), a naturalist and entomologist.

He served as a fellow and tutor at Balliol College, Oxford (1897-1929).

Following the accidental death (in a fire) of Prof. Alexander William Mair he became Professor of Greek at the University of Edinburgh (1928-1930), then Vice-chancellor of Sheffield University (1930 to 1938). He was elected a fellow of the British Academy in 1934, and was knighted in 1950 ''"for services to education"'', just two years before his death. Provided by Wikipedia
