Douglas Young (classicist)
Douglas Cuthbert Colquhoun Young (5 June 1913 – 23 October 1973) was a Scottish poet, scholar, translator and politician. He was the leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP) from 1942 to 1945, and was a Classics professor at McMaster University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
==Early life and education==
Young was born in Tayport, Fife, the son of Stephen Young, a mercantile clerk employed in India by a Dundee jute firm. Young senior had insisted that his pregnant wife return home to give birth to their son in Scotland. However, shortly after his birth in Fife, Douglas was taken to India with his mother, where he spent the early part of his childhood in Bengal, speaking Urdu as a second language there.〔() Derick S. Thomson, Young, Douglas Cuthbert Colquhoun (1913–1973), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press.〕
From the age of eight Young attended Merchiston Castle School in Edinburgh, where he developed a deep interest in history and the classics. He studied at the University of St Andrews, graduating with an first-class MA in Classics in 1934, and then at New College, Oxford, from 1935 to 1938.〔 Young began his professional academic career at the University of Aberdeen, where was assistant lecturer in Greek from 1938 to 1941. A tall man, standing at 6 feet and 7 inches (200 cm) tall, he also possessed a large range of talents over a wide array of subjects and was recognised as a polymath.〔()〕
