WALTER RALEIGH
PROFESSOR RALEIGH, during his few years in Glasgow, must be
held to have enriched the traditions of the popular Chair of English Literature
at the University, associated previously with the names of the late Professor
Nichol and of Professor Bradley, and it was a serious loss to the intellectual
life of the city when he went to Oxford. Educated at diverse schools and
thereafter at University College, London, and King's College, Cambridge, he took
the degrees of B.A. at London in 1881, and M.A. at Cambridge, and he is a Fellow
of University College, London. From 1885 to 1887 he was Professor of English at
the Mohammedan Anglo-Oriental College, Aligarh, India ; from 1890 to 1900
Professor of Modern Literature and the English Language at University College,
Liverpool; and from 1900 to 1904 Professor of English Language and Literature at
the University of Glasgow. Among his publications, besides sundry articles, have
been "The English Novel," 1894 ; Robert Louis Stevenson ; an Essay," 1895, and
"Style," 1897.
