Arthur Wallace Pickard-Cambridge

Sir Arthur Wallace Pickard-Cambridge, FBA (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.

[4] He was elected a fellow of the British Academy in 1934,[2] and was knighted in 1950 "for services to education",[5] just two years before his death.
