Arthur Wallace Pickard-Cambridge

Sir Arthur Wallace Pickard-Cambridge, (20 January 1873 – 7 February 1952) was a British classicist 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
