Reginald Walter Macan D.Litt. (1848–1941) was a classical scholar.〔(Bibliography of Macan, Reginald Walter, by subject ).〕 He was a Fellow (1884–1906) and then, from March 1906, Master of University College, Oxford.〔Darwall-Smith, Robin, ''A History of University College, Oxford''. Oxford University Press, 2008. ISBN 978-0-19-928429-0. Reginald Macan, pages 422–425〕 He was only the second layman Master of the College after Anthony Gate, Master from 1584–1597. Reginald Macan was originally from Dublin, Ireland, and retained his Irish accent until the 1890s. He was an undergraduate at University College, Oxford, and then a "Student" (the equivalent of a Fellow) of Christ Church after obtaining his degree.〔Bickerton, Fred, ''Fred of Oxford''. London: Evans Brothers Limited, 1953, pages 131–133.〕 He came back to University College as a Fellow and Tutor in 1884 until becoming Master of the College. He retired in 1923. Macan had a reputation as a heretic early in his career, but delivered addresses in the chapel at University College at least annually. Like his predecessor as Master, J. Frank Bright, he was nicknamed the "Mugger" by students. Macan applied archaeological discoveries to the study of ancient history. He produced a major set of books on Herodotus.〔''( Herodotus: the fourth, fifth, and sixth books )'', Internet Archive. (Originally published by Macmillan & Co., 1895.)〕 He also wrote ''A History of Persia''.〔''(A History of Persia )'', Internet Archive.〕 In 1913, Reginald Macan visited New York and spoke at the Sphinx Club about Rhodes Scholars at Oxford University.〔(Rhodes Scholar's Sneer: American Called Oxford "a God-Forsaken Place," Dr. Macan Says ), ''The New York Times'', 16 December 1913.〕 In 1881, Macan married Mildred Healey;〔 they had three daughters, one of whom Agatha Perrin married Eric Forbes Adam.〔 He lived on Boars Hill south of Oxford.〔 Maurice Greiffenhagen painted a formal portrait of Macan in academic dress, located at University College in Oxford. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Reginald Walter Macan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
