Edward Parton

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Edward Parton was a 19th century professor. He taught history at the University of Cambridge.

While working as a librarian at Cambridge, George Williamson became friends with Parton. The professor's trusting nature was betrayed when Hanson Galloway stole Parton's research and claimed it as his own. Eventually it was believed that Parton was the thief, and he was dismissed from his seat at the university in disgrace. The embarrassment led him to commit suicide. (PROSE: Time Zero)
