The Annual Register of World Events: A Review of the Year

He then read Natural Science and was first on the list in the first examination for this tripos. After a short period in Berlin, he became a Fellow of his College in 1853 and soon after also a lecturer in Natural Science, the first man to teach science experimentally in Cambridge. In 1860 he was appointed Professor of Chemistry at the Staff College and the Royal Military College at Sandhurst, but returned as Professor to Cambridge and began his long tenure-forty-seven years-of the Chair of Chemistry. Devoting himself zealously to his work, Liveing gradually built up a great school of chemistry, adding new laboratories, lecture rooms, etc. His own researches were mainly in spectroscopic analysis, for the most part in conjunction with his colleague, Dewar, the Jacksonian Professor. Liveing resigned his Chair in 1908 at the age of 81. He was elected an F.R.S. in 1879, and in 1901 the Society awarded him the Davy Medal. For many years Dr. Liveing was President of St. John's College.

27. Léon Bakst, aged 58, Russian theatrical designer and colourist, attained an international reputation. He was of Jewish parentage, educated at St. Petersburg and Paris, and quickly came to the front in his profession. Bakst staged many plays, etc., in London, which were received with great enthusiasm.

William Archer, dramatic critic, journalist, and author, was 68 years old. Graduating at Edinburgh University, he joined the staff of the Edinburgh Evening News as a leader writer. He then travelled for some time and finally settled in London as dramatic critic of the World, in 1884, a post he held for twenty years. His fame, however, rests upon his translations of Ibsen's plays which he began in 1880 and which influenced the development of the modern drama in England so profoundly. In addition to this Archer wrote "Masks and Faces." a study in the psychology of acting, a book on Play-making," etc. His own plays, War is War and The Great Goddess, had but a moderate success. He utilised his keen analytical powers to investigate the events immediately before the outbreak of the war in a book entitled "The Thirteen Days."

29. Carl Friedrich Georg Spitteler, the Swiss poet, whose age was 79, studied law and theology at the University of Bâle, but later turned his attention to literature. He finished his first great work whilst living as a tutor in Russia. This was an epic entitled "Prometheus," which won him no recognition. He then worked for some years as a journalist until he inherited a small independence which enabled him to live his own life. "Der Olympische Frühling," another epic, was his next notable work. In 1919 he received the Nobel prize for literature. At the outbreak of the wa", he publicly and outspokenly condemned Germany for her violation of Belgian neutrality.
