ALEXANDER FRANCISCVS KIRKPATRICK S.T.P. huius collegii discipulus, per LXVIII annos socius |
A Scholar and life-long lover of the College, Alexander Francis Kirkpatrick, D.D., was a Fellow for sixty-eight years and for some time also Lecturer and Dean. He was Regius Professor of Hebrew in the University, and later Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity. He was then Master of Selwyn College and finally Dean of Ely Cathedral. An erudite commentator on the Prophets, he took after them in learning, spirit and appearance to such an extent that he himself seemed to be one of that celebrated company. After living a life of absolute integrity he died at the age of ninety on 31st January 1940. |
