	Ronald Syme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir Ronald Syme OM (11 March 1903 – 4 September 1989), New Zealand-born historian, was an eminent classicist of the 20th century.
		He was born to David and Florence Syme in Eltham, New Zealand, where he attended primary and secondary school; a bad case of measles would seriously damage his vision during this period.
		Syme was also appointed Fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford from 1970 until the late 1980's, where an annual lecture was established in his memory.

		In this paper, Syme describes the evolution of his research interests after the journey that took him from New Zealand to Oxford as "a youth who in 1924 earned MA honours in French -- and who in the sequel wavered for a while between modern languages and the classics" (p.
		Syme is justly famous for his studies of the ruling classes of the empire, of the circumstances under which they lived, married, dined, prospered or failed, and died.
		In addition to the specific essays, there are two general essays in which Syme summarizes his feelings about the general historical value of studying the Roman aristocracy in a world where, by his own estimate, 86.5% of the population lived in the country (p.

		Syme's prose was instead refreshingly austere and arctic, somehow leaving the impression that its frosty precision was a guarantee of historical veracity and insight.
		Syme conceded that Strabo is often the primary, and sometimes the only, source for important information about the middle and later years of Augustus' reign, but that certainly did not stop him from disparaging Strabo and trying to correct his text.
		Syme's careful studies on Strabo and Asia Minor are not going to challenge any currently fashionable approaches or topics in ancient history; but in the working out of those approaches or the researching of those topics every generation of scholars must struggle again with the sort of meticulous investigations represented in these chapters.

	Syme, David
		Syme had supported Berry in the fight for protection and during the constitutional struggle, but was not satisfied with him as an administrator, and though opposed to James Service (q.v.) he recognized that Service had the very qualities Berry lacked.
		In congenial company Syme could talk brilliantly and without arrogance, and he could be a good friend, but his armour of reserve helped to found the legend that he was hard, dour, and arrogant.
		If Syme thought a man was a danger to his country, the order was issued that he was to be written out of his position without compromise or consideration of mitigating circumstances.

		Syme, a few years older than Burns, found Dumfries society dull, and welcomed in the poet a kindred convivial spirit.
		Burns was a frequent guest at Syme's villa, Ryedale, on the west side of the Nith.
		Of Burns's features, Syme wrote: 'The poet's expression varied perpetually, according to the idea that predominated in his mind: and it was beautiful to mark how well the play of his lips indicated the sentiment he was about to utter.

		Syme also strolled across to the table, and found lying across it a walking-stick, which turned out on examination to be a sword-stick, a large Colt’s revolver, a sandwich case, and a formidable flask of brandy.

		it soon becomes unclear, though, if syme was quite the genius that pitt needs him to be, since his ‘opium theories’ – particularly of the ‘hollow spheres’, which imagines the earth’s core as an ‘onion of concentric metallic spheres’ – seem mad.
		these different parts of the narrative are like the concentric spheres of syme’s theory, greased by the prose, interlinked, and revolving with a lubricious spin.
		pitt wants to prove that syme’s ideas lodged like ‘grit’ in wegener’s brain to produce his ‘pearl’ of inspiration; similarly, pitt’s ‘grit’, as it were, becomes markovits’s ‘pearl’.

		He could not himself betray Syme, partly from honour, but partly also because, if he betrayed him and for some reason failed to destroy him, the Syme who escaped would be a Syme freed from all obligation of secrecy, a Syme who would simply walk to the nearest police station.
		Syme had once thought that anarchists, under all their bravado, were only playing the fool.
		The instant the election was ended and irrevocable, and Syme had received the paper proving his election, they all sprang to their feet, and the fiery groups moved and mixed in the room.

		Syme referred to his surgery as a disarticulation at the ankle affording ease of execution, less risk to life and a comfortable residual limb (2).
		Concerning Syme's surgical technique, Harris very strongly states: "No matter how many Syme's stumps may be examined to ascertain the results, the conclusions will be misleading unless the technique of the operation is known for each case.
		In brief, the proposed prosthesis is a flexible, lightweight medial-opening-type Syme with a standard foot that is bolted and adhered to the socket.

		It is in the concert hall, however, that Syme excels.
		Praising his "exquisite control of tonal and dynamic shading," The Glasgow Herald said that "David Syme evidently views the piano as a limitless resource of color and nuance." The Boston Globe labeled Syme "a soloist who commands a big tone, the requisite sweep in a fire -breathing approach."

		Sir Ronald Syme, one-time Taranaki schoolboy, lately Camden professor of ancient history at Oxford, the holder of honorary degrees in 11 countries on five continents, died 14 years ago, a scholar who was arguably one of Taranaki's greatest sons.
		Ronald Syme, younger cousin to well-known Taranaki mountaineer and horticulturalist Rod Syme, attended primary school at Eltham and then Stratford District High School before moving to NPBHS as a boarder in 1918.
		Syme's writing style - clipped, passionate, heavy with allusion and often with irony - moved his work from being the sole domain of the scholar to become pleasurable reading for the interested amateur as well.
