Abstract
BY the unexpected death of Dr. David George Hogarth an Nov. 6, geography and archology lost one of their most distinguished representatives in1Great Britain, and the University of Oxford one who combined in an unusual way the qualities of a student and a man of action and affairs. Born on May 23, 1862, at Barton-onHumber, he was admitted commoner of Winchester in 1876, and elected to a classical demyship at Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1881, where he was placed in the first class in Honour Moderations and Litera Humaniores, appointed to a classical lectureship, and then in 1886 elected to a fellowship. Both at school and at college he distinguished himself as a runner, and made himself felt in the social life of the place, presiding over the Junior Common Room, acting with the O.U. Dramatic Society, and editing the Oxford Magazine. Of these early days he has left his own frank account in one of his most characteristic books, “Accidents of an Antiquary's Life.”
