SECOND LIEUTENANT ARTHUR BASIL KEMBALL COOK (COLL., 1898-1904) was born on July 24th, 1885. He was the son of A. K. Cook Esq. (coLL., 1863-1869; Assistant Master, 1875-1911), and came into College from Horris Hill : he was a School Prefect his last year and stood on Dress for College XV. He won the Warden and Fellows' Prize for English Verse, and in 1904 went up to New College, Oxford, with a Classical Scholarship, graduating in 1908 with Second Classes in Classical Moderations and Literae Humaniores. He adopted the profession of an architect, working for a time in the office of Mr. W. D. Caroe, and was awarded the Architectural Association's medal for an essay on "Colour in Architecture." In September 1914 he was induced to accept a temporary mastership at Winchester. Though his work was congenial and important—he took a division of Sixth Book—he was determined to seek military service, and in February 1915 obtained a commission in the Royal Fusiliers, reaching the front in the following October. He fell before Ovillers on July 7th, 1916, during the Battle of the Somme.
