million pound principal (and I had no idea that even very famous professors got paid that much). Dirac went into the position while he was a postdoc living on a shoestring, if that matters, though he had already declined some nice offers from other universities in anticipation of the
Lucasian chair becoming vacant as its previous occupant (Joseph Larmor) was due to retire.
466:"one of the most famous in the world" I never heard of it, prior to that Star Trek episode, and neither has MANY of the people I know, studied, intelligent people. No, it is not really that famous. Locally or in it's circle of influence it may be famous, but not worldly famous. Also, I'm all in favour for that 'Fiction' section or making this just a redirect.
583:
I think they must have found some additional funds since then. Graham
Farmelo's biography of Paul Dirac mentions that when Dirac got the professorship in 1932, its salary plus dividend(?) was equivalent to around 250,000 GBP when the biography was written in 2009. They couldn't generate that from a

I have changed it, because most places where I see it was lower case: never use capital in the middle of a sentenes or it want count always use lower case articles used ], 1911 encyclopedia use lowercase, ... If you think it better upper case, I will rechange them all to uppercase.

It looks like George
Gabriel Stokes held this post until his death in 1903, at age 83. Stokes' successor Joseph Larmor relinquished it at age 67, in 1932. I don't know if the age 67 retirement was mandatory at that time, but I suspect it was, since Larmor disapproved of his own successor, Paul

I have seen that it has been updated this article with the appointment of the 19th
Lucasian Professor. But there has been no official declaration by Cambridge University or other reliable source. All we have is a rumor that a mail was circulating at DAMPT. I think that this is not acceptable for

The section on fiction should be added. I looked this up after seeing the recent
Stephen Hawking movie particularly to see which movie Data was Lucasian Professor.Just because you're uncomfortable with that fictional appearance is no reason to hide the info on the talk page.
810:
Maybe the third paragraph, on the last 3 holders, might be relevant, but second paragraph on the appointment nearly 200 years ago is completely out of place. I am sure there are similar little stories about every appointment. Whys is this one appointment noteworthy?
326:
As has been stated before, we should really stick to non-fictional professors, at least when it comes to the list of chairs. I have added this section to make note of fictional accounts of those who have held the professorship. I hope this makes sense for most.

I believe 7000 pounds in those days was (based on, for example, the
Levenson Newton bio) was around one million pounds in today's money. So it is possible that that sum continues to provide -- quite remarkable if true and I would guess this is the oldest such

Florida State University afterwards) and there is some further info about this in Graham Farmelo's biography of Dirac. It would be good if this topic could be documented in the article

Looks like a doubtful one, then Looxix. I would have imagined that, as a formal title, it would be capitalised, but if it's as frequently lower case as upper, then so be it. You might as well leave it as it stands. Sounds like it doesn't mater either way.

Elections
Professor Michael Cates, B.A., M.A., Ph.D., T, FRS, Professor of Natural Philosophy and Royal Society Research Professor, University of Edinburgh, has been elected into the Lucasian Professorship of Mathematics with effect from 1 July 2015.
833:
I've removed Data's name from the opening paragraph. Including a section for fictional professors is alright (though still pretty trivial in this case tbh) but we can't possibly justify including Data on a list that's talking about real professors.
