William Johnson Cory
William Johnson Cory (9 January 1823 – 11 June 1892), born William Johnson, was an English educator and poet.
==Life==
He was born at Great Torrington, and educated at Eton, where he was afterwards a renowned master, nicknamed ''Tute'' (short for "tutor") by his pupils. After Eton, he studied at King's College, Cambridge where he gained the chancellor's medal for an English poem on Plato in 1843, and the Craven Scholarship in 1844. He was a brilliant writer of Latin verse. Although best known for the much-anthologised ''Heraclitus'', an adaptation of an elegy by Callimachus, ("''They told me Heraclitus, they told me you were dead''"〔(''Heraclitus'' poem )〕), his chief poetical work is ''Ionica'', showing a true lyrical gift.〔''Ionica'' (Smith, Elder & Co., 1858. iv, 116 pages) contained 48 poems, two dated 1851 and 1855. ''Ionica II'' (C.U.P., 1877. 48 pages) had 25 poems, several bearing dates in the period 1859-1877. ''Ionica'' (George Allen, 1891. vi, 210 pages) contained 85 poems, omitting six of the 1858 volume and two of the 1877 book, but adding 20 new poems, three dated 1877, 1885 and 1889. The collected edition ''Ionica'' edited by A. C. Benson (George Allen, 1905. xxxii, 220 pages) restored five poems dropped in 1891 - three from the 1858 volume and two from the 1877 book - and added one from a letter of 1862 (first published in the ''Letters and Journals'' of 1897). Still omitted were "A Chobham Song", "Rhymes at the Wrong End" and "The Bridesmaid".〕
Cory became an assistant master at Eton in 1845 just after graduating from King's College Cambridge.
As a pedagogue he insisted on the centrality of personal ties between teacher and student. The historian G. W. Prothero described him as "the most brilliant Eton tutor of his day." Arthur Coleridge described him as "the wisest master who has ever been at Eton." Among his former pupils are numbered several statesmen of the period, among whom are Lord Rosebery; Capt. Algernon Drummond; Henry Scott Holland; Francis Eliot; W. O. Burrows; Howard Overing Sturgis; Charles Wood, 2nd Viscount Halifax; Lord Chichester; and Arthur Balfour.
