Biografie:
Henry Leonard Hutton (1867- 1954)
H. L. Hutton's climbing career was so intimately linked with those of F. Harrison (commemorated in this issue) and of H. L. Joseland (see A.J. 57· 241) that it would be largely duplication to chronicle his mountaineering activities. He has himself written of them in his obituary of Joseland.
Hutton was born on October 5, 1867, and took to climbing in 1898, being elected to the A. C. ten years later. Educated at Haileybury and New College, Oxford, he took second class honours in Classical Mods. and ‘Greats.' He then studied abroad at the Sorbonne, Freiburg, and Berlin, and was a master at Franklin College, Dresden, before going to Dulwich College (1896-I90I), where he taught modern languages. From Dulwich he went to Merchant Taylors, where he was senior modern languages master until his retirement in 1929. After retiring, he became a university examiner and an Inspector of Schools. From 1902 to 1916 he was Chairman of the Modern Language Association.
He married in 1902 Julie, daughter of C. P. H. Rieu, Professor of Arabic at Cambridge. He had made his home in Dulwich for nearly sixty years and died there on January 23 last.
