BOOK
A Tribute to GILBERT MURRAY
IT IS COMMON for an eminent scholar to be honoured by the presentation of a book of essays on his special subject written by colleagues and former pupils. It is surely uncommon for him to be presented, as Gilbert Murray was on his seventieth birthday, with two volumes. One was devoted to classical subjects. The contributors to the other included men like H. A. L. Fisher, Salvador de Madariaga and Lord Cecil, who wrote of Murray's work for the League of Nations. They included also Granville Barker and Dame Sybil Thorndike, to remind him of how he had put the world of the theatre in his debt by convincing people that Greek plays were really plays.

Being Discreet About the Dead
In August 1975, at the invitation of Professor Ian Donaldson, I chaired a seminar on biography at the Humanities Research Centre at the Australian National University. Leading what turned out to be an entertaining provocative discussion were Professor Jack Morpurgo, biographer of Sir Barnes Wallis, and of Sir Allen Lane Francis West, biographer of Sir Hubert and Gilbert Murray; Mr Robert Smith, biographer of Australian administrator and writer, Laurie Thomas; and Professor Andrew Field, biographer of Vladimir Nabokov and Directed the Institute for Modern Biography at Griffith University.

GILBERT MURRAY: Some Memories
GILBERT MURRAY, as a public figure, won a twofold fame. There was the eminent professor, who interpreted by his teaching and writings Ancient Greece to the modern world. There was the great humanist, working with apostolic zeal in the cause of world peace. His achievements in these two spheres are already on record in his own works and elsewhere, and will in due course be passed under critical review. My subject here is a third Gilbert Murray. During twenty years and more we were near neighbours on Boar's Hill, near Oxford, and I saw a great deal of him in his private life.
