 \nTRENT UNIVERSITYLIBRARY  \n√  \n# GEORGE EDWARD MOORE\n\n1873-I958  \nG1873a UPperNorwood,London.Hisfather,DanNelMoobe.  \nM.D.,had been in general practice as a doctor at Hastings;butbeing a man of private means he had moved to London,andceased to practise,a year or two before G.E.Moore was born.  \nDaniel Moore's father,George Moore(1803-80;in D.JN.B.),had also practised medicine,and had been the author of severalsuccessful books on what would now be called ‘popular philo-sophy'.Moore's mother,Henrietta Sturge,was the daughter oftwo first cousins,both Sturges and members of that well-knownQuaker family.Joseph Sturge the philanthropist(I793-1859;in  \nD.N.B.)was her uncle.Moore was the fifth child in a family ofeight,four boys and four girls;so the recently built red-brickhouse at Upper Norwood,with half an acre of garden,on thewestern slope of the hill rising to where was then the CrystalPalace,contained,as Moore has said,‘enough of us to makeplenty of company for one another'.His eldest brother,ThomasSturge Moore,the poet,artist,and critic,had a great influenceon the formation of his opinions:Moore attributed to him alarge share of responsibility for the falling away of his religiousbeliefs before he had left school.(The Moore parents were Bap-tists.)In the very characteristic.thirty-nine-page'Autobiography'which Moore wrote to prefix to the collection of articles in ThePhilosophy ofG.E.Moore(ed.P.A.Schilpp:I942)[referred to asPGEM],he makes no reference to the characters of his parents;but he leaves no doubt that he had a happy childhood,both athome and at school.  \nOne of the reasons for the Moore family moving to Upper Nor-wood was that the sons should be able to be day boys at Dul-wich College under its great first headmaster A.H.Gilkes.Moore went there at the age of 8,and stayed there for ten yearsand two terms,walking(or running)the mile between homeand school four times four days of the week and twice on Wed-nesdays and Saturdays.The account Moore has given of hisformal education there will curdle the blood of any moderneducationalist devoted to the cause of a balanced education.Moore was good at classics and went up the school rapidly on  \n# PROCEEDINGS OF THE BRITISH ACADEMY\n\nthe ‘classical side,and his last six years(aet.I2³-182)werespentin the top two forms where almost all his time was devotedto Greek and Latin,mostly to translation into these languages inprose or verse.Moore never regretted this concentration uponclassics:he said that the variety of English passages which hewas required to translate made him appreciate their qualities.Though Moore learned little mathematics and no science,hewas well grounded in German;and the head of the musicaldepartment (E.D.Rendall)gave him private lessons in singingand introduced him to Schubert's and other Lieder,which laterMoore used to sing,accompanying himself on the piano,to thegreat delight of his friends.  \nIt is evident from Moore's account that his enjoyment of theSixth Form at Dulwich was largely due to two great teachers—W.T.Lendrum,wholater became a Fellowof Caius College,Cam-bridge (and changed his name to Vesey),and the headmaster,  \nA.H.Gilkes.Moore's portrait of Gilkes(PGEM,9)compares himto the Platonic Socrates:the talks he gave to the Sixth Form intheir weekly classes with him,and the essays which they wrotefor him on the ‘astounding variety of different subjects'of thesetalks,must have provided in themselves a liberal education.  \nIt is not surprising that when Moore went up to TrinityCollege,Cambridge,in October 1892(with a Major EntranceScholarship)to read for Part I of the Classical Tripos,he foundthat the work to be done during his first two years at Cambridgelargely repeated what he had done at Dulwich.Moore profitedin these years by forming,for the first","cbCaibAeHoTiuORV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibAeHoTiuORV","pdf",1062919,24,"English","# GEORGE EDWARD
