Kennedy was educated at Birmingham . and See also:Shrewsbury See also:schools, and St See also:John's See also:College, See also:Cambridge. After a brilliant university career he was elected See also:fellow and classical lecturer of St John's College in 1828. Two years later he became an assistant See also:master at See also:Harrow, whence he went to Shrewsbury as See also:head-master in 1836. He retained this See also:post until 1866, the See also:thirty years of his See also:rule being marked by a See also:long See also:series of successes won by his pupils, chiefly in See also:classics. When he retired from Shrews-See also:bury a large sum was collected as a testimonial to him, and was devoted partly to the new school buildings and partly to the See also:founding of a Latin professorship at Cambridge. The first two. occupants of the See also:chair were both Kennedy's old pupils, H. A. J.
See also:Munro and J. E. B. See also:Mayor. In 1867 he was elected regius See also:professor of See also:Greek at Cambridge and See also:canon of See also:Ely. From 187o to 188o he was a member of the See also:committee for the revision of the New Testament. He was an enthusiastic See also:advocate for the See also:admission of See also:women to a university See also:education, and took a prominent See also:part in the See also:establishment of Newnham and Girton colleges. He was also a keen politician of liberal sympathies. He died near See also:Torquay on the 6th of See also:April 1889. Among a number of classical school-books published by him are two, a Public School Latin Primer and Public School Latin See also:Grammar, which were for long in use in nearly all English schools.
His other See also:chief See also:works are: See also:Sophocles, See also:Oedipus Tyrannus (2nd ed., 1885), See also:Aristophanes, Birds (1894); See also:Aeschylus, See also:Agamemnon (2nd ed., 1882), with introduction, metrical See also:translation and notes; a commentary on See also:Virgil (3rd ed., 1881); and a translation of See also:Plato, Theaetetus (r881). He contributed largely to the collection known as Sabrinae Corolla, and published a collection of See also:verse in Greek, Latin and English under the See also:title of Between Whiles (2nd ed., 1882), with many autobiographical details.
His See also:brother, See also:CHARLES RANN KENNEDY (1808–1867), was educated at Shrewsbury school and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated as See also:senior classic (1831). He then became a See also:barrister. From 1849–1856 he was professor of See also:law at See also:Queen's College, Birmingham. As adviser to Mrs Swinfen, the See also:plaintiff in the celebrated will See also:case Swinfen v. Swinfen (1856), he brought an See also:action for remuneration for professional services, but the See also:verdict given in his favour at See also:Warwick assizes was set aside by the See also:court of See also:Common Pleas, on the ground that a barrister could not See also:sue for the recovery of his fees. The excellence of Kennedy's scholarship is abundantly proved by his translation of the orations of See also:Demosthenes (1852–1863, in See also:Bohn's Classical Library), and his See also:blank verse translation of the works of Virgil (1861). He was also the author of New Rules for See also:Pleading (2nd ed., 1841) and A See also:Treatise on Annuities (1846). He died in Birmingham on the 17th of See also:December 1867.
