Abstract
BORN in 1889, Stanley Casson went from Merchant Taylors School to Lincoln College, Oxford, and held a senior scholarship at St. John's and a studentship at the British School of Archæology at Athens. In 1914 the War interrupted his studies, but he made good use of local opportunities in Macedonia and returned thither for excavation after the Armistice. During 1919–22 he was assistant-director of the School, and was elected in 1920 to a fellowship of New College, which combined opportunity for travel and research with a limited amount of lecturing under Prof. Percy Gardner, to whose philosophic outlook he owed much.
