William Stallybrass


William Teulon Swan Stallybrass (formerly William Teulon Swan Sonnenschein; 1883–1948) was a barrister, Principal of Brasenose College, Oxford from 1936, and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford from 1947, just before his death.

He was colloquially known as "Sonners" at Oxford University due to his former name, Sonnenschein.

He was the son of the English publisher William Swan Sonnenschein and the nephew of the English classical scholar Edward Adolf Sonnenschein.

Stallybrass died unexpectedly in a railway accident when he stepped out of a moving train near Iver station in Buckinghamshire. He was almost blind at the time.
