Erasmus Smith's Professor of Modern History
Erasmus Smith's Professor of Modern History is a chair in history at Trinity College Dublin. It was founded in 1762 and funded by the Erasmus Smith Trust,[1] which was established by Erasmus Smith, who lived 1611–1691.[2]
One of its first incumbents was the celebrated J. B. Bury (1861-1927), author of History of the Roman Empire (1893), The Life of St. Patrick and his place in History (1905) and A History of Freedom of Thought (1914).[3] The current occupant of the Erasmus Smith’s chair is Professor Jane Ohlmeyer, a historian of the seventeenth-century Irish nobility.[4]

gollark: Is it ethical to use Google Colab for dubiously useful ML tasks? I trained a GPT-2 instance on some of my Discord messages.
gollark: (also, they aren't unreadable since you can just unbase64 them)
gollark: I don't see this as a horrible problem, but a bigger one is that base64 does not actually compress things.
gollark: Actually, you should use (praise be!) ffmpeg.
