SIR RICHARD LIVINGSTONE succeeded his friend and teacher Gilbert Murray as the pre-eminent classicist at Oxford. Throughout his career the classics have supplied the inner illumination for his teaching, whether to undergraduates, to adults, or the troops to which he lectured during the war years. President of Corpus Christi College (1933-1950) and vice chancellor of Oxford University (1944—1947), Sir Richard has been a welcome visitor on many an American campus.
