GEDDES, SIR WILLIAM DUGUID (1828-1900)

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 548 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GAG-GEO
GEDDES, SIR WILLIAM DUGUID (1828-1900) , Scottish scholar and educationist, was born in Aberdeenshire. He was educated at
Elgin
 
academy
  and university and king's College, Aberdeen, and after having held various scholastic posts he was appointed in 186o professor of
Greek
  and in 1885
principal
  of the (united) university of Aberdeen. He was knighted in 1892. He died in Aberdeen on the 9th of
February
  woo. It is chiefly as a teacher that
Geddes
  will be remembered, and in his enthusiastic and successful efforts to raise the standard of Greek at the Scottish
universities
  he has been compared with the humanists of the Renaissance. Amongst other works he was the author of A Greek Grammar (1855; 17th edition, 1883; new and revised edition, 1893); a meritorious edition of the Phaedo of Plato (2nd ed., 1885); and The Problem of the Homeric Poems (1878), in which, while supporting Grote's view that the Iliad consisted of an
original
  Achilleis with insertions or additions by later hands, he maintains that these insertions are due to the author of the Odyssey. .
