LONDON PROFESSOR TO GO NORTH
APPOINTMENT TO EDINBURGH (By Air Mail—From Our Own Correspondent) LONDON, Bth August. I hear that Professor John Dover Wilson, the well-known Shakespearean scholar who has been Professor of Education at King’s College since 1924, is going to Edinburgh to the Chair of English Literature in succession to Professor Grierson. Dr. Dover Wilson has had a long and varied academic and literary career and will be greatly missed from the institution in the Strand. There is a good precedent for his appointment to Edinburgh, for Professor Grierson’s predecessor was George Saintsbury, who had a troublous time with his Scottish students until they learned to appreciate his worth. In Edinburgh Dr. Wilson will have ample time for the literary ventures in which he is engaged.
