William Macneile Dixon

William Macneile Dixon (1866 – 31 January 1946) was a British writer and academic.

[2] He also took considerable part in the public life of the university: he was President of the University Philosophical Society, auditor of the College Historical Society, and chairman of the students' committee for celebrations of the college's tercentenary.

[3] Besides articles in the Quarterly Review and other periodicals, Professor Dixon's publications included English Poetry from Blake to Browning; A Tennyson Primer; In the Republic of Letters; a monograph on Trinity College Dublin, in the College History Series; and The Human Situation (1937), a collection of his Glasgow Gifford lectures that sold its way into seven editions.

This is a remarkable conspectus of man's place in the universe which ranges over a very wide field of scientific and philosophical inquiry.

A Portrait of Mrs. Macneile Dixon was painted by the Birmingham artist Kate Bunce.
