Life

edit

Glover was born in Bristol where his father, the Rev. Richard Glover, was minister of Tyndale Baptist Church.[4]

Glover worked as a lecturer for nearly 20 years.

He was a representative of Cambridge University at University College Bristol until he resigned. Hansard, records that his resignation and the opinions of Geraldine Hodgson and Professor Gerothwohl concerning "grave reflections upon the administration of the university" were raised in Parliament as a pretext for a Public Enquiry on 1 May 1913. The enquiry was not authorised.[5]

Glover also wrote books, including The Jesus of History and Poets and Puritans.[2] He was Public Orator of Cambridge University between 1920 and 1939, until he was succeeded by W. K. C. Guthrie.[6]

Glover was a Baptist and attended St Andrews Street Baptist Church in Cambridge, where his friend Melbourn Aubrey was minister until 1925. Aubrey recalled that for Glover "the Old Testament came to have less and less value and in his last years he appeared to resent ministers taking texts or even lessons from it."[7] Glover had six children.[2] He conducted services in Appleton chapelatHarvard University on 19 December 1923 while visiting the university.[8]
