IRVINE, ROBERT FRANCIS (1861-1941), economist, was born on 30 July 1861 at Scatsta, Shetland Islands, Scotland, son of William Irvine, farmer, and his wife Joan, née Sandison. The family migrated to New Zealand when he was a child.

In 1883-84 and 1888-89 he was on the staff of Christ's College, Christchurch. In between he toured England and Germany, acting as overseas correspondent for the Wellington Evening Post.
