Sir Francis Howe Seymour Knowles, 5th Baronet (13 January 1886 - 4 April 1953) was an English anthropologist and the fifth of the Knowles baronets. 〔B.M. Blackwood and T.K.

Who Was Who (A & C Black)〕〔Petch 2003 'Documentation in the Pitt Rivers Museum: The contribution of Sir Francis Knowles (1886-1953) Journal of Museum Ethnography, No. 15 pp 109-114〕〔Francis Knowles and technology at the Pitt Rivers Museum Alison Petch, Researcher 'The Other Within' project http://england.prm.ox.ac.uk/englishness-Francis-Knowles.html〕 Knowles read Law at Oriel College, Oxford, and turned to anthropology for his post-graduate work. In 1908 he was one of the first two students to be awarded the Diploma in Anthropology, taught at the Pitt Rivers Museum at Oxford University, to which he afterwards added the degree of B.Sc. ==Family and early life== This family is descended from Charles Knollys, titular 4th Earl of Banbury temp James 11. He was the fifth of his line since his great, great grandfather, Sir Charles Knowles, admiral, was created a baronet for purely naval services in 1765. Of the first five holders of the title, three had been named Charles and became admirals. Knowles, like his grandfather, another Francis, pursued a scientific career, as would his own son Francis in turn becoming a Fellow of the Royal Society. His father Vice Admiral Sir Charles GF Knowles whilst stationed on the Newfoundland coast had met his mother, the Canadian Mary Ellen Thomson, the grand daughter of the Hon Joseph Howe, Lt Gov of Nova Scotia, and this may have influenced Knowles' decision to accept a post in Canada in 1912. 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「Sir Francis Knowles, 5th Baronet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
