Frazer attended school at Springfield Academy and Larchfield Academy in Helensburgh.[6] He studied at the University of Glasgow and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated with honours in classics (his dissertation was published years later as The Growth of Plato's Ideal Theory) and remained a Classics Fellow all his life.[7] From Trinity, he went on to study law at the Middle Temple, but never practised. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-9485.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-9485.txt
