释义 |
John William Martin (1864 or 1865 – 6 April 1956) was a British Fabian who later became an academic in the United States. Born in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, Martin became a pupil teacher when he was thirteen, and by furthering his education in this way, he eventually won a scholarship to the Borough Road Training College. During his time there, he was active in radical politics, and formed a debating society.[1] After leaving the college, Martin attended the University of London, graduating in 1889. He worked as a teacher for several years, then became a lecturer at the East London Technical College.[1][2] Martin became active in the Fabian Society and served on its executive from 1894. In 1899, he travelled to lecture in the United States, and while there met Prestonia Mann, a leading figure in the American Fabian Society. They married in 1900, and settled on Grymes Hill in Staten Island, New York.[2][3] In New York, Martin served on the Board of Education for eight years, and was a director of the League of Political Education. In 1929, he moved to become a professor at Rollins College in Florida, where he remained until his death in 1956.[2] He left his house to the college, which now served as the university's music department, under the name "Martin Hall".[4] References1. ^1 {{cite book |title=The Labour Year Book |date=1896 |publisher=Joseph Edwards |location=Liverpool |pages=211–212}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Martin, John William}}2. ^1 2 {{cite news |url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1956/04/07/86557612.pdf |title=Dr John Martin, 91, teacher, lecturer |newspaper=The New York Times |agency=Associated Press |date=7 April 1956}} 3. ^{{cite book |last1=Pease |first1=Edward R. |title=The History of the Fabian Society |date=1969 |publisher=Library of Alexandria |isbn=1465502483}} 4. ^{{cite web |title=Martin Hall |url=http://lib.rollins.edu/olin/Archives/Architecture/Arch/martin_hall.htm |publisher=Rollins College}} 7 : 1860s births|1956 deaths|Alumni of the University of London|Members of the Fabian Society Executive Committee|People from Lincoln, England|Rollins College faculty|People from Grymes Hill, Staten Island |
