SIR COLIN, LORD
What Has Changed in the Last Century
When Collier's wrote in 1921, Mrs Patrick Campbell was described as still "one of the most popular actresses in England"; she died in 1940 at Pau in France, largely forgotten on stage, and is now remembered chiefly for creating Eliza Doolittle in Shaw's "Pygmalion" in 1914 and for her long, waspish correspondence with him, published in 1952. Alexander Campbell's movement no longer holds together as the single "sect" Collier's describes: the Churches of Christ were counted separately from 1906, and a further parting in the 1960s left the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), the independent Christian Churches and the Churches of Christ as distinct bodies, now studied together as the Stone-Campbell movement. The label "Campbellites" is today regarded as an outsiders' name and avoided, though Bethany College, which he founded in 1841, still operates in Bethany, West Virginia. The third Campbell here, Sir Colin, Lord Clyde, was dead by 1863 and his reputation for the Crimea and the Indian Mutiny stands much as it did.
