Translation
Arthur Harold John Knight was a Fellow of the College for thirty-two years. A scholarly and articulate expositor of German and Swedish literature, he was equally vigorous in mind and body. In 1963, at the age of sixty, he met an untimely death at sea off the coast of his beloved Scotland. He is much missed by the Fellowship.
