Autorenporträt
Frank Byron Jevons (1858-1936) was a polymath, scholar, and Durham University administrator. He attended Nottingham High School and Wadham College, Oxford, before being appointed as a Classics instructor at Durham in 1882. From 1892 to 1897, he was the first Censor of St Cuthbert's Society, a duty he handled with "skill and humanity." In 1897, he was appointed Principal of Bishop Hatfield's Hall (renamed Hatfield College in 1919) and served there until 1922. He was the first principal who had not been ordained as a clergyman. He was also the university's treasurer from 1898 to 1902, sub-warden from 1902 to 1909, vice-chancellor from 1910 to 1912, and pro vice-chancellor from 1912 to 1914 and 1916 to 1921. In 1895, he was awarded an honorary DLitt by Durham University. Between 1910 until 1930, he was Professor of Philosophy and presided over the inaugural gathering of the World Congress of Philosophy in 1923. In the twenty years before and after 1900, he was one of the last Victorian polymaths, devoting himself to the study of classics, philosophy, sociology, history, anthropology, and comparative religion. Hatfield College's refectory features a portrait.
