This volume studies Sir Richard Jebb, Regius Professor of Greek at Cambridge until his death in 1905, and the public competition ("praelections") in which five scholars - James Adam, Walter Headlam, Henry Jackson, William Ridgeway and Arthur Verrall - competed to become his successor. Eight essays are followed by Wilamowitz's entertaining review of the five candidates' orations, with a new translation by E. J. Kenney.
