Arthur Sidgwick

[1] Despite his self-deprecating remark "in erudition I am naught", he is considered a great teacher of ancient Greek poetry.

[4] A Fellow of Trinity College from 1864 to 1879, Sidgwick was for that period an assistant master to Rugby School, invited to return by Frederick Temple, headmaster at the end of his time as a pupil there.

[6][7] With Henry Lee Warner (1842–1925) as an ally, Sidgwick organised a significant resistance to the incoming Hayman's authority.

[5] He stood out among the generally orthodox, conservative classics dons as a Liberal, as did the radical Thomas Collins Snow.

He pioneered, with Arthur Herbert Dyke Acland, undergraduate study groups to raise awareness of current affairs.

[10] In his autobiography, after noting the continuity with school, Murray wrote: "Sidgwick was a great exception.

[12] It was at an 1887 picnic organised by the Sidgwicks that Murray met Rosalind Howard, Countess of Carlisle, his future mother-in-law.
