Some "Wales" Contributors Dr. H. Idris BELL I was born at Epworth in Lincolnshire, 2nd October, 1879. My father, Charles Christopher Bell, was a native of Hickling in Nottinghamshire. My mother was Rachel Hughes, daughter of John Hughes of Llanfairfechan, formerly of Liverpool and a native, I think, of the Vale of Clwyd. My mother died before I was a year old and I do not remember her. I was educated at Nottingham High School and afterwards at Oriel College, Oxford, of which I was an Adam de Brome Classical Scholar from 1897 to 1901 and a Fraser Senior Scholar from 1901 to 1902, when I studied one Semester at the University of Berlin and one at that of Halle. I am now an Honorary Fellow of Oriel. I was appointed a Second Class Assistant in the Department of MSS., British Museum, in 1903, having studied in France for eight weeks in the autumn of 1902. I became a First Class Assistant in 1913, Deputy Keeper of MSS. in 1927, Keeper in 1929. From 1915 to 1918 (end) I was in the Intelligence Department of the War Office and during the latter part of that period was editor of the Food Supplement to the Daily Review of the Foreign Press. I am an Honorary University Reader in Papyrology at Oxford; President of the Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies since 1937 Vice-President of the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies since 1936; and from 1923 to 1927 I was Honorary Secretary of the Egypt Exploration Society, and for several years (I forget precisely which) I was joint editor of the New Palaeographi- cal Society. My official work here, till I became Deputy Keeper, was mainly on Greek papyri, but I have of course done many other things as well. I am in politics, a Socialist, a member of the Labour Party, and an Associate of the Fabian Society since about 1908." Geo ige EWART EVANS: Born (1909) at Abercynon.
