A

The Mystery of the Famous Word Collector

One of the greatest contributors to the first

Oxford English Dictionary

was also one of its

most

unusual.

In

1879,

Oxford

University

in

England

asked Prof. James

Murray

to

serve

as

editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language.

It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also

the history of the word and quotations

（引文）

showing how it was used.

This was a huge task, so Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States,

and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English.

Hundreds

of

volunteers

responded,

including

William

Chester

Minor.

Dr.

Minor

was

an

American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave

his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshi

re,

” 50 miles from Oxford.

Minor joined the army of

volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the

)

next 17 years, he became one of the staff’s most valued contributors.

But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit

Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived,

he found Minor locked in a book-lined room at the Broadmoor Asylum

（精神病院）

for the

Criminally Insane.

Murray

and

Minor

became

friends,

sharing

their

love

of

words.

Minor

continued

contributing to the dictionary, sending in

more than 10,000 submissions in 20

years. Murray

continued

to

visit

Minor

regularly,

sometimes

taking

walks

with

him

around

the

asylum

grounds.

In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the

port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.

Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the

Oxford English Dictionary

was

completed.

The

12

volumes

defined

414,

825

words,

and

thousands

of

were

contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.

Owls and Larks

Larks are most likely to be healthy, wealthy and wise, according to the old saying.

But

those

who

are

early

to

bed

and

early

to

rise

do

not

always

have

the

upper

hand,

researchers say. They have found that night owls are generally brighter and wealthier than those

able to get up early in the morning.

Experts

from

the

University

of

Madrid

carried

out

tests

on

around

1,000

teenagers

and

found that those who preferred to stay up late proved the kind of intelligence associated with

honored jobs and higher incomes. “Larks” or “morning people”, however, often acquired better

exam results, possibly because lessons are held at the wrong time of day for night owls. The

researchers examined the habits and body clocks of the youngsters to determine whether they

liked to stay up late and sleep in later in the morning, or preferred to go to bed early and were

at

their

peak

in

the

morning.

School

performance

and

i nductive

（归纳的）

intelligence,

or

problem

solving,

were

measured

and

academic

grades

in

the

major

subjects

were

also

taken

into

account.

The

results

showed

that

evening

types

scored

higher

than

morning

types

on

inductive reasoning, which has been shown to be a good estimate of general intelligence and a

strong

indicator

of

academic

performance.

They

also

had

a

greater

capacity

to

think

conceptually as well as analytically. Such abilities have been linked to innovative

（创新的）

thinking, more admired occupations and better incomes.

Famous night owls include President Trump, Obama, Charles Darwin, Winston Churchill,

Keith Richards and Elvis Presley. George W. Bush, who is regularly in bed by 10 p.m., Thomas

Edison,

Napoleon,

Condoleezza

Rice,

who

wakes

at

4:30

a.m.,

and

Ernest

Hemingway

are

among

those

known

as

larks.

Jim

Horne,

professor

of

psychophysiology

at

Loughborough

University, said, “Evening types tend to be the more active and creative

types, the poets, artists

and inventors, while the morning types are the deducers

（推断者）

, as are often seen with civil

servants and accountants.” A previous study of US Air Force recruits found that evening types

were much better at thinking to solve problems than larks.
