 		 Vincent Henry Stanton, D.D., Fellow, Lecturer and sometime Tutor of the College, was for nearly thirty years Ely Professor of Divinity in the University and for six years Regius Professor of Divinity.  For seventy-seven years he served Christ richly with good works, defending the Christian faith in his writings and exemplifying them in his life.  A serious, wise and holy man, he offered up his life, as Origen enjoins, as ‘one continual prayer’. 
He was born in China on 1st June 1846 and died here on 9th June 1924.
