Abstract
CAMBRIDGE.—Dr. G. R. Owst has been elected to the newly created professorship of education that comes into operation on October 1. Dr. Owst came up to Emmanuel in 1913 and after an absence for war service took his degree in 1920. He taught in South Africa for the next two years and then returned to England and began to work under Prof. Claude Jenkins at King's College, London, on the subject of medieval preaching. This work and other studies arising from it, have been recognized by the award of D.Lit. London and the Litt.D. Cambridge. Since 1928 Dr. Owst has been an inspector of schools both elementary and secondary and is at the present moment staff inspector for history.
