James Ingram (academic)
James Ingram (21 December 1774 – 4 September 1850) was an
President of Trinity College, Oxford, from 1824 until his death.[1]
Early life and education
Ingram was born on 21 December 1774 in the
Codford St Mary. He was educated at Lord Weymouth's Grammar School and Winchester College before studying at Trinity College, Oxford.[2] He obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1796, promoted by seniority in 1800 to Master of Arts, and in 1808 graduated as a Bachelor of Divinity
.
Career
Ingram taught at Winchester from 1799 to 1803, when he became a
President of Trinity College in 1824.[1] As President, he was also rector of Garsington, a village south of Oxford
.
His academic interests in Anglo-Saxon and archaeology meant that he had little time to attend to the business of the College or University. His publications included an edition of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (1823), an edition of Quintilian (1809) and Memorials of Oxford (3 volumes, 1832 to 1837) with 100 illustrations by John Le Keux. He died at Trinity College on 4 September 1850, and left his books, pictures and coins to the College and Oxford University.[3]
