Archibald Robertson (29 June 1853{{snd}}29 January 1931)[2] was the seventh Principal of King's College London who later served as Bishop of Exeter.

Early life and education

He was born at Sywell rectory, Northamptonshire, the eldest son of George Samuel Robertson, curate of Sywell, (1825–1874) and his wife, Helen née Kerr, and grandson of Archibald Robertson and William Charles Kerr junior, both physicians of Northampton.[3] He was educated at Bradfield College and Trinity College, Oxford, where he graduated in 1876 with a first class degree in Classics (Lit. Hum.). He became a Fellow of Trinity in 1876 (until 1886), Dean of the same (1879–1883), and a Doctor of Divinity (DD).[2] He was ordained (both times by John Mackarness, Bishop of Oxford): a deacon on Trinity Sunday (16 June) 1878 in Cuddesdon Parish Church;[4] and a priest on St Thomas's day (21 December) 1882 in Christ Church.[5]

Career

From 1883 to 1897 he was Master of Hatfield Hall in Durham.[6] He went on to serve as Principal of King's College London from 1897 to 1903, during which he was elected to serve as Vice-Chancellor of the University of London for the year 1902–1903.[7] He also served as an examining chaplain for Forrest Browne, Bishop of Bristol, in 1897, and became a Fellow of King's College in 1899. He received an honorary doctorate (Doctor of Divinity, DD) from Durham University in 1893[2] and a further one (Legum Doctor, LLD) from the University of Glasgow in June 1901.[8] He was Boyle Lecturer in 1900 and Bampton Lecturer in 1901, became an honorary fellow of Trinity in 1903 and was a Vice-President of the Clan-Donnachaid Society.

In his academic career, Robertson was a specialist in patristics and church history, in which field he was widely-published and respected.[3] He was elected Bishop of Exeter on Easter Monday (13 April) 1903,[9] consecrated (ordained) as a bishop on 1 May (by Randall Davidson, Archbishop of Canterbury, at St Paul's Cathedral) and enthroned and installed at Exeter Cathedral on 5 May;[10] he legally took up the See upon the confirmation of his election, which took place between his election and consecration (i.e. during April 1903). In 1912 Lollards Tower on the Exeter City Wall was rebuilt and several sculpted stone tablets displaying the arms of Bishop Robertson were set into the walls, including one over the arched entrance known as Bishop Carey's Postern.[11] He served as diocesan bishop until 1916,[2] when he resigned due to ill health, retiring to Oxford, where he died at home in 1931.[3]

Family

Robertson married in 1885, shortly after his arrival in Durham. His wife was Julia Mann, daughter of Charles, Rector of Mawgan-in-Meneage and St Issey, Cornwall.[2] They had three sons.[12] The eldest of these, of the same name, was the communist and atheist Archibald Robertson (atheist) (1886–1961).[13]
