My name is Benjamin Jowett I'm master of Balliol College Everything there is to know, I know it and what I don't know isn't knowledge

OR! by Henry Beeching 1859-1919

First come I: my name is Jowett. There's no knowledge but I know it  I am master of this college  What I don't know isn't knowledge

OR EVEN! Jowett's mausoleum epitaph © MG Adelberg 2005 all rights reserved

My name, it is Jowett, As the gods did bestow it. Though I lie here below it, This lawn, none will mow it. Life's river, I rowed it Plato's line, I towed it, Truth's seed, I did sow it, If it is knowledge, I know it.

 

	Yes, Benjamin Jowett (1817 - 1893) was a famous English theologian and Greek scholar whose translations of Plato (c.427 - 347bc) are still read today. After being Regius Professor, he became Master of Balliol College, Oxford, from 1870 to 1893. He also translated Thucydides and Aristotle; he took 30 years over the translation Plato's Republic. No wonder it is still the standard English-language text.   It is unlikely that he built or drove motor cars.   However, his old college is now offering two Jowett Scholarships. The Scholarships, which will be awarded solely on the basis of academic merit, are open to current Balliol graduate students who are reading, or intend to read, for a D.Phil   There is of course the Jowett Library at Balliol with the extensive collection of BJ's papers.
	...and Jupiter is also a planet, with numerous websites - but no motor cars so far as is known. No doubt NASA has plans for driving around on one or more of Jupiter's satellites, though.
	You can even play the opening bars of the eponymous composition by the famous Gustav Holst. NB it is 160kB and may take a few seconds to load...

And finally, Bahlsen make really nice biscuits:
