Richard Everard Webster, 1st Viscount Alverstone (22 December 1842 - 15 December 1915) was a British barrister, politician and judge who served in many high political and judicial offices. ==Background and education== Webster was the second son of Thomas Webster QC. He was educated at King's College School and Charterhouse, and Trinity College, Cambridge. He was well known as an athlete in his earlier years, having represented his university in the first Inter-Varsity steeplechase and as a runner, the Cambridge Alverstone Club being named in his honour and the Lord's Prayer being dedicated to him as follows: Our Lord, who art at Wilberforce, Alverstone be thy name, Thy swaps will come, Thy grass reps will be done, On earth as they are in Chariots, Give us this day our daily banter, And forgive us for our pennying, As we forgive those who penny against us, And lead us all into Cindies, But deliver us from Gardies, For thine is the club, the tie and the track, For ever and ever, Amen. His interest in cricket and foot-racing was maintained in later life. He refereed races for the early Amateur Athletic Club and set rules for long jump and shot put. He was President of Surrey County Cricket Club from 1895 until his death, and of the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1903. 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「Richard Webster, 1st Viscount Alverstone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
