⭐ Core Definition: Regius Professor of Greek (Dublin)

The Regius Professorship of Greek is a professorship at Trinity College Dublin. The chair was founded by George III in 1761.

By statute, the Regius Professor was originally always appointed from among the existing senior fellows of the college, and the position was often only held for a few years at a time, with a salary that was not high, with the result that the study of Greek at the college was relatively neglected. In 1855, the professorship was remodelled by statute so that the holder of the position could be appointed on a permanent basis, beginning with the appointment of Thomas Stack, one of the college's junior fellows.
