lecturer provost Homeric scholar
David Monro was born in Edinburgh, the grandson of Alexander Monro tertius, professor of anatomy at the University of Edinburgh, whose own father, Alexander Monro secondus (1733–1817), and grandfather, Alexander Monro primus (1697–1767), had both filled the same position.
He entered Glasgow University in 1851, and there distinguished himself in logic and mathematics, but the influence of Edmund Lushington, professor of Greek, determined the direction of his studies for life. He matriculated at Oxford as scholar of Brasenose College on June 16, 1854, and in November of the same year was elected to a scholarship at Balliol College, where he afterwards held a Snell exhibition. He was placed in the first class in moderations, both in classics and mathematics, in 1856, in the first class in the final classical school, and the second class in the final mathematical schools in 1858. He won the Ireland scholarship (1858) and the prize for a Latin essay (1859), and was elected fellow of Oriel in the same year. He entered at Lincoln's Inn as a student.
He was not called to the bar, returning to Oxford in 1862 as lecturer of Oriel College. He became tutor in 1863, and was elected vice-provost in 1874, on the retirement of Dr. Edward Hawkins from Oxford. On Hawkins's death in 1882 Monro was chosen provost.
As tutor at Oriel, Monro raised the standard of the teaching, and won the enthusiastic regard of his pupils by his devotion to their best interests. He lectured, as the manner then was, on a great variety of subjects, comparative philology, early Greek history and philosophy, Homer, Thucydides, Herodotus, early Roman history, Roman constitutional history, and Roman public law, and though his delivery was weak and he lacked fluency, his lectures were valued. He also was more than once public examiner; he served on the delegacy of the press, was a curator of the museum, and a member of the hebdomadal council, and he filled the office of vice-chancellor (1901-1904).
Meanwhile Monro devoted his literary interests and energies to the elucidation of the "Homeric Poems, " and to questions arising out of them. In October 1868. he wrote in the "Quarterly Review" an article on the "Homeric Question, " which he recast for the "Encyclopædia Britannica" (edit. 1880). He collated the "Venetian MSS. of Scholia" to the 'Iliad' for Dindorf's edition (1875-7); published a school edition of 'Iliad I' (1878), a "Grammar of the Homeric Language" (1882; 2nd edit. 1891), and a school edition of the "Iliad" (i. -xii. 1884, 3rd edit. 1899; xiii. -xxiv. 1889, 3rd edit. 1901). A complete text of "Homeri Opera et Reliquiæ" appeared in 1896, and in 1902 there followed, in collaboration with T. W. Allen, a text of the "Iliad" with an apparatus criticus. The later years of his life were given to an edition of the last twelve books of the "Odyssey" (1901), with notes and introductions embodying the results of his work. He contributed papers on Homeric questions to the Academy, the Journal of Philology, the Journal of Hellenic Studies, and other periodicals. If the quantity of his published work is small, this is due to his powers of compression, to his self-criticism, and his reluctance to put out anything for which he could not vouch. His school edition of "Iliad I, " which served the purpose of a "ballon d'essai, " embodied the results of years of work, and gives concisely the writer's views on disputed points of interpretation and the principles underlying them, whilst the publication of the "Homeric Grammar" put Monro at once among the first authorities on the subject.
David Binning Monro died suddenly of heart disease on August 22, 1905, at Heiden, Switzerland, and was buried in Holywell cemetery, Oxford.
David Binning Monro was a noted Homeric scholar, Provost of Oriel College, Oxford, and Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University.
David Monro won the Ireland scholarship in 1858, and the prize for a Latin essay (1859).
He also was an honorary member of the numerous societies and associations.
