William Darnall MacClintock was born on July 29, 1858 in Elizaville, Kentucky, the son of Alexander and Cornelia (Darnall) MacClintock. MacClintock received an A.B. from Kentucky Wesleyan College of Owensboro, Kentucky (1878) and an A.M. from Johns Hopkins University (1882). From 1892 to 1925 MacClintock was a professor of English at the University of Chicago. He was appointed professor emeritus in 1925. MacClintock married Lucia Porter Lander in 1886.
