OBITUARY.
We regret very much to record the deaths of Dr. Lowther Clarke, W. H. Jackson (O.P.), and Dr. William Hood, O.P. DR. LOWTHER CLARKE, O.P. The former, though actually educated at Sedbergh, of which he afterwards became the faithful historian, performed the duties of housemaster of " Adams " House at St. Peter's in the years 1883-5. He had previously won a scholarship at St. John's College, Cambridge, and in 1874 was ordained by the Archbishop of York. He subsequently worked in various important Yorkshire parishes and then became closely associated with the School. In 1901 he was appointed to the Bishopric of Melbourne where he showed remarkable administrative ability and energy and when in 1905 the five dioceses of the State of Victoria were constituted an ecclesiastical province, the Bishop of Melbourne, as Metropolitan, received the title of Archbishop. Dr. Clarke resigned the Archbishopric in 1920 and returning home devoted himself to literary work. His " History of Sedburgh School " appeared in 1925, the year of the school's 400th anniversary. He was an honorary D.D. of Oxford and Cambridge, and hon. D.C.L. of Durham. He leaves, with one daughter, two sons : the Rev. W. K. Lowther Clarke, formerly Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge, and the Rev. H. L. Clarke, Vicar of Armley, Leeds.
