William Cleaver Wilkinson, D.D. (Westford, Vermont, October 19, 1833 - Chicago, April 25, 1920) was a Baptist preacher, professor of theology, professor of poetry, and literary figure. He popularized the "Three W's and the Five W's". He graduated from the University of Rochester in 1857 and the Rochester Theological Seminary in 1859. After his graduation, he visited Great Britain and on his return in November 1859, he became pastor of the Wooster Place Baptist church in New Haven, Connecticut. On account of ill health, he resigned his pastorate in 1861 and took a walking tour of England. On his return in 1863, he became professor ad interim of modern languages in the University of Rochester. Not long after he accepted the pastorate of the Mount Auburn Baptist church in Cincinnati, Ohio. Resigning this pastorate in 1866, he opened a private school at Tarrytown, New York. In 1872, he was elected professor of homiletics and pastoral theology at Rochester Theological Seminary, a position which he filled with marked ability until 1882 when he resigned. After that, he devoted himself entirely to literary work. In 1871, he was offered the chair of the German language and literature at the University of Michigan and that of English literature in 1873. In the same year, the University of Rochester conferred upon him the honorary degree of doctor of divinity. His "Dedication Hymn" (published in his ''Poems'') was used at the dedication of Rockefeller Hall at the Rochester Theological Seminary and of the Toronto Baptist College. In 1892, he became a professor of poetry and criticism at the University of Chicago.〔(New York Times obituary )〕 In 1905, his daughter Evelyn, aged 20, married a 55-year-old man who had divorced his wife; Wilkinson and his wife "denounced their daughter for marrying a man who cast off one wife to wed another".〔(''New York Times'', June 28, 1905 )〕 He died on April 25, 1920 as a result of injuries from a fall.〔 ==Publications== * 1868 ''The Dance of Modern Society'' (full text ) * 1874 ''A Free Lance in the Field of Life and Letters'' * 1882 ''Preparatory Greek Course in English'' (the "in English" books are literature in translation) * 1883 ''Preparatory Latin Course in English'' * 1884 ''College Greek Course in English'' * 1885 ''College Latin Course in English'' * 1886 ''Classic French Course in English'' (full text ) * 1883 ''Poems'' * 1884 ''Edwin Arnold as Poetizer and as Paganizer, including An Examination Of The "Light Of Asia" For Its Literature And For Its Buddhism'' * 1887 ''Classic German course in English'' * 1888 ''The Baptist denomination'' * 1891 ''The epic of Saul'' * 1897 ''The Baptist principle in application to baptism and the Lord's Supper'' * 1897 ''The epic of Paul'' * 1905 ''Modern masters of pulpit discourse'' * 1905 ''Poems'' * 1905 ''The epic of Moses : a poem in two parts'' * 1911 ''Daniel Webster: a vindication, with other historical essays'' * 1913 "John Pierpont Morgan: an appreciation.
