Ian Hepburn
Ian "Hep" Hepburn (190274) was a British schoolmaster, botanist, ecologist and author.
He was educated at Oxford University, and was a chemistry teacher at Oundle School 192564. For much of his time there, he was a housemaster; latterly he was Second Master. He was elected Member of the Royal Archaeological Institute in 1950.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=List of Members, 1st March 1960 )〕 He published papers on the vegetation of coastal Cornwall and Norfolk (places he had known from boyhood), and on that of Northamptonshire Jurassic limestone. He served on the Council of the British Ecological Society, and was active as a journal editor.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nature in Cambridgeshire )〕 He was a member of several natural history clubs and trusts in Northamptonshire and, later, Cambridgeshire. He has been described as, "a modest man, courteous, patient, popular with students and staff". As well as being a devoted teacher, he loved music: the Hepburn Music Competition at Oundle was started by him (while Second Master) in the early 1950s, and is named after him.
He dedicated his book ''Flowers of the Coast'' to his wife Phyllis, "who loves the sea but is sometimes uncertain of her botany". An early review remarks, "This book, so clearly and unpretentiously written, so admirably illustrated, is imaginatively stimulating to a quite unusual degree. No fringe of beach or, scrubby headland, no strip of brackish marsh, no tidal estuary can seem, when one has read it, devoid of interest.
