갑자기 생각났다. 이 사람이 클로스트리듐 아세토부틸리쿰 대량번식으로 이스라엘의 땅을 따낸 데 일조한 그 사람이었지. 하지만 나중에 초대 대통령이 될 줄은 몰랐는걸; 하기야 미생물 교양 시간의 에피소드였으니.

3. L. B. Namier
Sir Lewis Bernstein Namier (June 27, 1888 – August 19, 1960) was a significant English historian.
...He is best known for his work on Parliament and its composition in the latter part of the eighteenth century, which by its very detailed study of individuals caused substantial revision to be made to accounts based on a party system. Namier's best known works were The Structure of Politics at the Accession of George III, England in The Age of the American Revolution and the History Of Parliament series he edited later in his life with John Brooke.
... A friend, admirer and patient of Sigmund Freud, Namier was an early pioneer in Psychohistory. He also wrote on modern European history, especially diplomatic history and his later books Europe in Decay, In the Nazi Era and Diplomatic Prelude unsparing condemned the Third Reich and appeasement.

7. J. L. Austin
John Langshaw Austin (March 28, 1911 – February 8, 1960) was a philosopher of language, who developed much of the current theory and terminology of speech acts. He was born in Lancaster and educated at Balliol College, Oxford.
After serving in MI6 during World War II, Austin became White's Professor of Moral Philosophy at Oxford. He occupies a place in philosophy of language alongside Wittgenstein in staunchly advocating the examination of the way words are used in order to elucidate meaning. Unlike many ordinary language philosophers, however, Austin disavowed any considerable indebtedness to Wittgenstein's later philosophy.[1] His main influence, he said, was the exact, exacting, and common-sense philosophy of G. E. Moore.
He was president of the Aristotelian Society from 1956 to 1957.

9. Maurice Bowra
Sir Cecil Maurice Bowra (April 8, 1898 – July 4, 1971) was an English classical scholar, academic, and wit.
...In his long career as an Oxford don, Bowra had contact with a considerable portion of the English literary world, either as students or as colleagues. The character of Mr Samgrass in Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited is said to be modelled on Bowra, who was Waugh's teacher.A close friend once commented that Bowra had cut himself off from posterity, "as his prose was unreadable and his verse was unprintable." This was set half-right by the publication in 2005 of New Bats in Old Belfries, a collection of satires on friends and enemies written between the 1920s and 1960s.
10. David Cecil
Lord Edward Christian David Gascoyne-Cecil CH (April 9, 1902 – January 1, 1986), was an English aristocrat, literary scholar, biographer and academic. His title was a courtesy title: he was a younger son of the 4th Marquess of Salisbury.
He was educated at Eton College and Christ Church, Oxford. In 1947, he was made professor of rhetoric at Gresham College, London, for a year. He was Professor of English Literature at the University of Oxford from 1948 to 1970, his pupils including John Bayley. He was also a member of the literary group known as the Inklings.
He married Rachel MacCarthy, daughter of Desmond MacCarthy. Father of actor Jonathan Cecil.
Cecil's 1939 book The Young Melbourne, the first of two biographies he published of William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne, the British Prime Minister, was one of John F. Kennedy's favourite books.

Edmund Wilson (May 8, 1895 – June 12, 1972) was an American writer, noted chiefly for his literary criticism. Most literary experts considered Wilson the preeminent American literary critic of his day, and perhaps of the 20th century.
...Axel's Castle: A Study in the Imaginative Literature of 1870-1930 (1931) was a sweeping survey of Symbolism. It covered Arthur Rimbaud, Auguste Villiers de l'Isle-Adam (author of Axel), W. B. Yeats, Paul Valéry, T. S. Eliot, Marcel Proust, James Joyce, and Gertrude Stein.
In his landmark book To the Finland Station (1940), Wilson studied the course of European socialism, from the 1824 discovery by Jules Michelet of Vico culminating in the 1917 arrival of Lenin at the Finland Station of Saint Petersburg to lead the Bolshevik Revolution.
Wilson was interested in modern culture as a whole, and many of his writings go beyond the realm of pure literary criticism. His early works are heavily influenced by the ideas of Freud and Marx, reflecting his deep interest in their work.
Edmund Wilson attended Princeton with Fitzgerald, who referred to Wilson as his "intellectual conscience," and after his early death from a heart attack in December 1940 at the age of 44, Wilson edited two books of Fitzgerald's (The Last Tycoon and The Crack-Up) for posthumous publication, donating his editorial services for free in order to help Fitzgerald's family. He was also a friend of Nabokov, with whom he corresponded extensively and whose writing he introduced to Western audiences; however, their friendship was marred by Wilson's cool reaction to Nabokov's Lolita and irretrievably damaged by a dispute over Wilson's public criticism of Nabokov's eccentric translation of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin.Wilson was also an outspoken critic of U.S. Cold War policies. He did not pay his income tax from 1946 to 1955 and was later investigated by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). He also failed to pay state income taxes, which had little to do with the Cold War.
12. Auberon Herbert
Auberon Edward William Molyneux Herbert (Highclere, June 18, 1838—November 5, 1906) was a writer, theorist, philosopher, and member of the British parliament, son of the 3rd Earl of Carnarvon, brother of Henry Herbert, and father of the 9th Baron Lucas. He promoted a libertarian philosophy and took the ideas of Herbert Spencer a stage further by advocating voluntary-funded "government" that only uses force only in defense of individual liberty and property. He is known as the originator of Voluntaryism.
...Herbert says that in "voluntaryism the state employs force only to repel force—to protect the person and the property of the individual against force and fraud; under voluntaryism the state would defend the rights of liberty, never aggress upon them."
