## Life

The only son of William Bolitho and his wife, Mary Hichens Yonge of Polwithen House, he was born at Madron near Penzance in July 1862. He was educated at Harrow School, before going up to Trinity College, Oxford.
While studying at Oxford, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Oxford University against Lancashire at Oxford in 1883. He played first-class cricket for Oxford until 1885, making a total of eight appearances. In addition to playing for Oxford, he also appeared for the Gentlemen of England in 1885 against Oxford, during which he made his highest first-class score of 45 not out. For Oxford, he scored 242 runs at an average of 18.61 and a high score of 32. Bolitho later toured North America in September 1885 with a team formed by the Devon amateur E. J. Sanders, making two first-class appearances on the tour against the Gentlemen of Philadelphia at Germantown.
Graduating from Oxford in 1885, he enlisted in the Royal Devon Yeomanry in May 1889 as a second lieutenant. Between May 1889 and March 1895, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant, before he was promoted to the rank of captain in March 1895. Bolitho served during the Second Boer War. He was made a temporary major during war, with the rank converted to an honorary rank in the third year of the war. During the course of the war he was wounded in action, mentioned in dispatches and awarded the Distinguished Service Order. Following the war, he resigned his commission in November 1904. Bolitho later served as the director of Barclays and was a justice of the peace for Cornwall. During the 1890s he played cricket for Cornwall prior to their participation in minor counties cricket. Bolitho died at Bath in February 1919.

## Family

He married Ethel Grace Macleod of Invergordon Castle at Inverness Cathedral on 21 June 1888; the wedding was postponed from Easter due to the death of the brides father. They had three children. His brother-in-law was the Irish cricketer Ronald McNeill, 1st Baron Cushendun.

# William Clarke Park

William Clarke Park, better known as The Patch, is a public park in Brighton, England, which was opened in the late 20th century. The park has a sports area, which contains a basketball hoop and a football goal, a children's playground and a pond among other things. It can be accessed by paths from Hartington Road, Picton Street and Franklin Street.

## History

After the Kemp Town branch line closed in 1971, the former railway cutting—a long and narrow area of land between Hartington Road and Elm Grove—became available for redevelopment. Labour councillor and former Mayor of Brighton William Clarke led a campaign to lay out a recreational area to serve the Elm Grove and Lewes Road areas, which are underprovided with open space. Landfill was used on the cutting to create the park.
The park opened in the 1980s and has been looked after by a community group, the Friends of William Clarke Park, since 1995. It is one of several parks in the city where the council can arrange for people to plant a commemorative tree.
In March 2017, the park had a £53,000 makeover, which forced it to close for a few days. It replaced lots of fencing, resurfaced paths, and improved drainage systems, as well as giving the park better play equipment.

## Patchfest

Patchfest is an annual community festival in the park, which is run by volunteers and organised by the Friends of William Clarke group. The festival has live music and many stalls which contain games, food and drink or other things which are being sold. On 8 May 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a virtual Patchfest to replace the in person festival, as restrictions at the time did not allow in-person meetings.

# William Howell Pegram

William Howell Pegram (August 18, 1846 – April 30, 1928) was an American chemist and educator.

## Biography

Born Chalk Level, Harnett County, North Carolina, Pegram fought in the American Civil War on the side of the Confederacy. His combat experience and subsequent internment on the Confederacy's defeat left him with a military bearing and, untainted by cynicism, an enthusiasm to be part of the Reconstruction.
After spending the next four years on his father's farm, he entered Trinity College (now Duke University) in 1869 and, even as an undergraduate, assisted in the teaching of science and English literature. Graduating in 1873, by 1874 he was professor of natural science with responsibility for the teaching of physics, chemistry, biology and engineering. It was about this time that he began courting Emma, the daughter of college president Rev. Braxton Craven. As an uncredited report put it:
    In 1873 a bright young man, just out of college and full of the fine enthusiasm of youth was appointed to teach the sciences. It did not take him long to doff his coat, roll up his sleeves and resolve to make something happen. This youth was William H. Pegram. The records do not show whether this fine enthusiasm was fundamentally excited by a love of pure science or by a love of the President's daughter. The fact is well-established, however, that through it he won the unqualified approval of the President and also of the President's daughter, and thereby won for himself a career in science.
Pegram married Emma in 1875 and they parented five children, most famously George Braxton Pegram. Tight finances at the college demanded that Pegram was still teaching English until 1879 and it was not until 1900 that he could devote himself to his principle love of chemistry.
# William Crake

William Parry Crake (11 February 1852 – 1 December 1921), sometimes known as William Parry, was an English amateur footballer who won the inaugural FA Cup with the Wanderers in 1872 and played for the English XI against Scotland in the representative matches between 1870 and 1872. By profession, he was a merchant in India.

## Family and education

Crake was born in Madras, India where his father had been in business. He was educated at Harrow School between 1866 and 1870. At Harrow, he was a member of the school football team in 1868 and 1869; he also played cricket for the school in his last two years.
On 2 April 1881, he married Emily Noble Chase in Madras; they had two sons:
* Ralph Hamilton Crake (1882–1952), who became a Lieutenant Colonel in the King's Own Scottish Borderers and was awarded the D.S.O. He played two first-class cricket matches, the first in 1901 and the last in 1921.
* Eric Hamilton Crake (1886–1948), who made one first-class cricket appearance for M.C.C. in 1912.

## Football career

He played football for several clubs, including the Barnes Club, Harrow Chequers and the Wanderers. He played as a forward and was described in the 1873 Football Annual as "a very neat dribbler, slow but certain" and "very useful on the side". He made his debut for the Wanderers on 5 January 1870 at Crystal Palace, having been introduced to the club by E. E. Bowen, a master at Harrow School.
In March 1870, he and Bowen were selected for the first unofficial international match between an English XI and a team representing Scotland, which had been arranged by another Old Harrovian, C. W. Alcock. One match report said that Crake "deserved no little praise for the energy of [his] following-up throughout the game". He also played for England in the matches played in November 1870 and February 1871 (listed as a member of the Barnes Club) and November 1871 (now with Harrow Chequers).
In 1871, Wanderers were one of 15 clubs who entered the inaugural FA Cup competition. Wanderers reached the final where they met a side from the Royal Engineers. Crake played as one of eight forwards as Wanderers claimed the trophy for the first of five times, with the single goal coming from Morton Betts.
Crake continued to play for the Wanderers until 1874, making a total of 23 appearances with three goals.

## Cricket career

Crake was a keen cricketer who played for various clubs, including M.C.C. and the Free Foresters. In June 1868, aged 16, he played for the M.C.C. against his own school.

## Professional career

By the end of the 1870s, Crake had returned to India and set up as a merchant. Following his retirement in 1892, he returned to England to live in Norfolk Crescent, near Hyde Park, London where he died on 1 December 1921, aged 69. He was buried at Kensal Green Cemetery.

# William Crampton Gore

William Crampton Gore RHA (1871–1946) was an Irish painter.
The son of an army officer from Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, Gore studied medicine at Trinity College Dublin, graduating in 1897 and practising until 1901. An intervening period of some months in 1898 was spent studying art under Henry Tonks at the Slade School of Art, giving him a taste for life as a professional painter. After a stint abroad, during which he worked as a ship's surgeon on sailings to North America, India and Italy, he returned to London and the Slade, studying there from 1900 until 1904. Whilst there he befriended Sir William Orpen and Augustus John, sharing a studio with the latter.
In 1905 he first exhibited with the RHA and from then until 1939 he contributed over a hundred works to their annual shows. In 1916 he was elected an Associate member of the RHA and in 1918 he was made a full member.
His works were mainly interiors and still-lives in oils. Flower painting in particular attracted him, and it was on his encouragement that the Royal Horticultural Society of Ireland first hosted an exhibition of Flower and Garden Paintings at the Metropolitan School of Art in the 1940s.
He was represented in many survey shows of Irish art, including the much-vaunted Irish Exhibition in Brussels in 1930. Examples of his work can be seen in the Limerick City Gallery of Art and the Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin.

# William H. Tucker (psychologist)

William H. Tucker (1940–2022), also known as Bill Tucker, was an American psychologist. He was an Emeritus Professor of Psychology at Rutgers University and the author of several books critical of race science. He retired from Rutgers in 2009. Tucker died in 2022.

## Early life and education

Tucker received his bachelor's degree from Bates College in 1967, and his master's and doctorate from Princeton University. He joined the faculty at Rutgers University in 1970 and was there since. During his time as a student at Princeton, he was a member of the Students for a Democratic Society and participated in taking over buildings on campus.

## Career

Tucker was a Psychometric Fellow for three years at Princeton, a position subsidized by Educational Testing Service. The majority of Tucker's scholarship was about psychometrics, not in it. He sat on the advisory board of the Institute for the Study of Academic Racism.
Tucker wrote critical commentaries on several hereditarian psychologists known for their controversial work on race and intelligence. He won the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award in 1995, and received a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities in 2006.
According to his website, "My research interests concern the use—or more properly the misuse—of social science to support oppressive social policies, especially in the area of race. I seek to explore how scientists in general, and psychologists in particular, have become involved with such issues and what effect their participation has produced."

# William Lovat Fraser

William Lovat Fraser (7 November 1884 – 21 November 1968) was a Scottish sportsman who played cricket and rugby union at an international level, representing Scotland in cricket and touring Argentina with the 1910 Combined British rugby union side, an early incarnation of the British and Irish Lions.

## Early life

William Lovat Fraser was born in 1884 in Perth, Scotland. He was the older brother of Alan Fraser who also played cricket for Scotland (in 1921). Both attended Merchiston Castle School.

## Rugby union

Fraser played his rugby for his school's old boys club, Merchistonian FC. Although he was never selected to play rugby for Scotland, he was selected to tour with the Combined British on the 1910 tour to Argentina where he played in what Argentina count as their first test match. Notably, Fraser scored the first try of that match.

## Cricket

Lovat Fraser was also a noted cricketer. He had played at Merchiston Castle School and continued to play for his school's old boys side. He was predominantly a bowler (right-arm medium pace). He played his three first-class matches between 1909 and 1913. The first match was on 22 July 1909 when Scotland faced Ireland in Scotland, at North Inch, Perth. Although he was out for a duck in Scotland's first innings, his contribution of 3 wickets in Ireland's first innings, and a five wicket haul in their second went a long way towards Scotland's win by an innings and 132 runs. Three years later he was in the Scotland side that faced Australia on 11 July 1912. The match was drawn and Fraser once again registered a duck but took a wicket. His final first class match was in a 10 July 1913 encounter with Ireland at the Grange Cricket Club Ground, Raeburn Place, Edinburgh. Although the match was drawn, Fraser hit a first class high of 44 in the first innings and took six wickets over the two innings. In 1919 he again played for Scotland against the Australian Imperial Force Touring XI and in 1921 against Australia, but neither match was deemed first-class.
