  Horace Hayman Wilson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Horace Hayman Wilson (26 September 1786 - 8 May 1860) was an English orientalist, was born in London.
He was one of the staunchest opponents of the proposal that English should be made the sole medium of instruction in native schools, and became for a time the object of bitter attacks.
In 1832 Oxford University selected Dr. Wilson to be the first occupant of the newly founded Boden chair of Sanskrit, and in 1836 he was appointed librarian to the East India Company.

Horace Hayman Wilson was elected the first Boden professor in 1832.
Nevertheless, it was H.H. Wilson, the Orientalist candidate and inheritor of William Jones’ mantle, who won the first election as Boden professor by a slim margin, over an Anglicist candidate who had campaigned on a platform of Bible translation.
In the end, it seems, a bare majority of Convocation was unable to ignore the fact that Wilson knew Sanskrit language and literature incomparably well, even though his detractors had accused him of having once kept an Indian concubine, and what was worse, of being, on the subject of Sanskrit, positively enthusiastic.
