He held office as Warden until his departure to Christ Church in 1920, thus completing half a century's connexion with Keble. He had been ordained in 1872, and in 1895 was elected to Dean Ireland's Professorship of Exegesis. In 1919, when the Lady Margaret Professorship fell vacant through the death of Dr. Sanday, the Warden of Keble's wide knowledge of exegetical scholarship and his weighty contributions to learning, made him, in spite of his advanced years, the choice of the electors to the oldest chair in the University, and to the canonry in Christ Church to which it is annexed. From this double office, Dr. Lock retired in 1927, and from then until his death in August 1933, lived in North Oxford. Among Dr. Lock's many contributions to theological learning may be specially noted his commentary on The Pastoral Epistles, and his essay on the Church in Lux Mundi—he was one of the two last survivors of the group of Oxford scholars who contributed to this work, being outlived only by his predecessor at Keble, Dr. Talbot. He took a keen interest in the cause of women's education, and was elected in November 1894 a member of the Committee governing St. Hugh's Hall, just before the resignation of the late Sir John Hawkins as Chairman, and the election in his place of the Rev. C. G. Lang, now Archbishop of Canterbury. He resigned his seat on the Council in 1923, after nearly thirty years' service on the Governing Body. He took a great interest in University business, and though he ceased after his retirement to play any active part in University affairs, he was deeply interested to the last in the many forms of work, both scholarly and administrative, with which he had been concerned.—R.I.P.
THOMAS HENRY ARCHER HOUBLON DR. T. H. ARCHER HOUBLON came of a Berkshire family of Flemish
extraction. He was born in 1849 and was educated at Radley and at Christ Church, Oxford, where he distinguished himself as an oarsman, and rowed in the University Boat in 1872. In the following year he was ordained to the curacy of Wantage, and in 1875 succeeded his father as Rector of Peasemore, Berks. In 1881 he returned to Wantage as vicar and remained there for twenty-two years, where his great gifts as a parish priest had full scope. In 1903 he was appointed, by Bishop Paget, to the Archdeaconry of Oxford, and to the canonry in Christ Church which accompanied the latter office. He continued as Archdeacon and Canon during the episcopate of Dr. Gore and Dr. Burge respectively, resigning his double office in 1921. Dr. Archer Houblon was Chairman of the Governing Body of St. Hugh's College from 1908 to 1922, and retained till his death a close interest in all its affairs. He returned to live in Oxford with his sister in 1929, and being a near neighbour as well as a friend of the College, asked to be allowed to celebrate the Holy Communion in our chapel 26
