Hugh McLeod Innes
1862-1944. Classicist; Junior and Senior Bursar. His maxim was: 
“A Bursar should draw up his accounts so that only those who have the right should understand them”.
He was born in India, where his father John James McLeod Innes, a lieutenant in the Bengal Engineers, won a Victoria Cross in the Indian Mutiny. Hugh's son Patrick won a History Scholarship to Trinity in 1915 but was killed in action in 1917; he is commemorated in St Paul's Church, Cambridge.
In 1941 H. McLeod Innes published Fellows of Trinity College, which lists the Fellows up until 1940. Fellows who entered the College before 1561 are divided between those named in the Charter of Foundation and some fifty others known to be Fellows but not named in the Charter. Fellows who entered the College from 1561 onwards are listed in chronological order, as found in the books of Admissions of Masters Fellows Scholars and Officers. The text also contains a historical introduction and notes on particular Fellows.
He also published On the Universal and Particular in Aristotle's Theory of Knowledge: A Dissertation Written for the Fellowships at Trinity College (Cambridge, 1886).
