We give a �;election o f official letters fro m the

Co llege, written either in acknowledge ment of gifts, or

i n congratu lation of me mbers who had attained to high

places in Church or State.

The first two are undated, but a clue to their

contents is obtained fro m a small printed pamphlet,

entit led, " Se lect ions from the Stewards' Accounts pre

served at Haddon Hall." In this, amongst the pay ments

for the year fro m Michae lmas 1670 to M ichaelmas 1671,

we find the entry :

Paid to Mr John Buxton of Youlegreave by my honourable lord and ladies command , being a grat itude that his lordship was pl ease d to give towards the m aking of so me new buildings at St Joh n 's Colledge in Ca mbridge : £20 .

At this period the College was engaged in co mpleting the Third Court, which was erected by subscription . The first then see ms to be a begging letter, the second a letter of thanks, both probably written in t he yea r 1671.

To Madam Seckford. Madam

They that are cunning in the Art of Begging are so well versed and studyed in faces, that amongst a hundred they know which to let pass and where to fix, they reade at first sight characters and dispositions of a willing an cl ready charity. And will sometimes pitty him they beg of as carrying a face apt to undoe him into as low poverty as they themselves suffer. Though perhaps wee have not so particular and exact knowledge of those outward lineaments which might encourage th is confident address, yet the


universall fame will not suffer us to be ignorant of those of your great and generous soule which stays not for opportunities offered but seeks them, and to know where it is wanting is all the argument necessary to your noble Bounty. The entrance to our request is very unlucky and perhaps wee may be thought worthy rather to be laughed at than pittyecl, who begin to build and know not how to finish · But wee could wish wee had not the reason wee have to wipe off this reproach . A Friend to this Society by his will gave us a considerable summe which we desigued to this use, but he in whose hands the many was is lately dead, and whether the gift will be received wee cannot yet see. Hence wee are encouraged to beg especially of such who are so willing to give. Some in their life build their monument and wee hope a stone laid in a College may give as faire and lasting a memory to your name as one placed in the Church. But besides you will oblige here so many Beadsmen and Votaries, who will make i t a great part of their study that the famous Acts of that Bounty and Clprity may be read not only in stones but in men, who shall for ever blesse their memory and pray for their happinesse, in which number you will find at present.

your most devoted servants The Master, Fellows and Schollars of St John's College, Cambridge.

To the right honourable the Countesse of Rutland.

Madam Tho' my Lord the Earle of Rutland's constant respect

and especially his late most obliging letter give sufficient assurance of his inclinations and kindnesse towards us, yet the knowledge wee have of your readinesse to favour all fair and worthy designs make us beg leave humbly to kisse your honour's hand also, which wee cannot but believe ioyned as a partner in that honourable gift and bounty which is coming towards us, by which as we rise in our building wee hope wee shall in our iust returne and acknowledgement loo. For though we cannot think to offer anything worthy or eguall

N o{es jro111 the College Records. 1 1

to what we receive yet if we should be silent the stones which you lay might rise out of the wall and fall upon our heads and threaten deformity at least, if not decay, to the whole building. The benefit wee hope is not wholly ours. For if ill got goods as wee are assured do not only themselves perish, but bring in lheir company the innocent wealth in the same m ischief for being in their company, we may as reasonably conclude those that are piously and charitably bestowed doe not only prosper but conveigh a secret blessing to the rest of the estate from which they came. There are those which by a divine miracle increase by spending and multiply while they are scattered. Wee shall take care that what your honour bath done may never be forgotten here, but to recompense it must be the gift of Heaven, for which we shall always pray who are,

Madam, your Honour's most obliged and devoted servant,

Jam diu in hac nosh·a domo inveteravit consuetudo ut quos vel virtus sua, vel Regis amicitia non temere sine virtutibus obtinenda, ad excelsiorem dignitatis locum evexerit, eos, a nobis utique aliquando profectos, etiamnum nosh·os vocemus, et ingentis gloriae quo possumus j ure, particulam vindecemus.

De Te autem, Vir Honorabilis, hoc libentius gloriamur, quod in ea arte, juris nimirum Anglicani prudentia, ad summum venisti, in qua praecipue id est verum (alias eheu! cum exceptionibus credendum) quod vulgo clicitur, suae quemque fortunae artificem esse.

To the Reverend and learned the Master and Senior Fellows of the College of St John the Evangelist in the University of Cambridge.

The antient usage of the College to take notice of lhe progress of such who have ventnred to go from it i nto the world and the claim you j ustly make to a share of the dignities they arrive at, i s a most honourable instance of the true and paternal anxiety, which your society has always shown for the prosperity of such who have the felicity of an education amongst you.

The knowledge I drew in under the care of your Society, and the honour done me formerly in electing me a Fellow of i t , as they were the happiness of my youth, so they constantly have been and ever will be the pride of my riper age ; and if that species of pride be blameable, it is a blame which I must carry to my grave.

The method of reasoning and almost the daUy habit of i t , by which your College has always been distinguished, is the properest preparation for the study of that science into which I was thrown, and all which I can claim to myself i s the careful application of those rules which I had learned with you.

The fidelity which you are pleased to make such honourable mention of, with which i t was my duty as well as my greatest pleasure to serve the best of Kings has been amply and bountifully overpaid, by the honours which I have from time to time received from h is Royal favour ; and all t hat is left for me to desire is, that I may be blessed w ith abilities to answer the purposes for which he has been pleased to raise me to my present station, by distributing within my sphere that i mpartial j ustice to his subjects which he requires from my hands.

Give me leave, after sincerely wishing all prosperity to you and your society to subscribe myself

Gentlemen your most affectionate obliged humble servant

The Master and Fellows of St John's College most respectfully present to your Lordship, as a late member o( their Society, their cordial congratulations on your recent elevation to the high and important off-ice of Lord Chief Justice of his Majesty's Court of King's Bench.

They rejoice that the early promise which your Lordship gave of future eminence, whilst you were a student withi n their ·walls, has been so fully realised ; and that the eloquence,

zeal and ability which you have exhibited i n the exercise of

an arduous profession have been rewarded with this dis

tinguished mark of your sovereign's confidence, at a time of

life when you may be permitted u nder the blessing of Divine

Providence to look forward to a long career of honour and

usefulness J. Woon,

Master.

1\ly clear Sir Be pleased to accept my best thanks for the good will

expressed by yourself and the Fellows of St J olm's, on my late appointment. Your allusion to the time I passed within your \'Cnerable walls, m ight perhaps be best answered in the words of E rasmns-Som niwlosmn ad111ones v£gilantiae : but since that period, my mind has been exercised in some of the most anxious tasks that have at any time been cast upon an ad\'ocate : and I will confess that the terms in which you speak of my professional career are most gratifying to my feelings.

I h;t\'e never been u nconscious of my own great deficiencies : but as the determination to perform my duty has hitherto secured me some portion oE public conf-idence and approbation, I venture to hope that the same principle may carry m e through t o the end.

I have the honour to be, my clear Sir, with sincere respect and gratitude

your faithfull servant THO D ENMAN.

Whenever your Lordship is disposed and at leisure to receive a deputation from the College, we shall be happy to have the h onour of wait ing upon you and repeating our congratulations in person.

I beg that you will accept on your own part, and that you will convey to the other members of St John's College, my most sincere thanks for the very flattering terms in which they have been pleased to convey to me through you their congratulations on my elevation to the See of Worcester.

I shall always look back with pleasure to the many years which I passed as Fellow within the walls of St John's and hope soon to afford the strongest proof of the estimation in which I hold that Society by requesting that you would enter my eldest son as a member of it.

My movements are, I regret to say, at the present time so uncertain, partly owing to the protracted stay of the late Bishop's family in the Palace at \Vorcester and parlly to the uncertainty which exists as to the duration. of the present

Whereas it is held that the Ecclesiastical j urisdiccion of our Universitie of Cambridge and of all the students and members of the Colledges there belongeth to the Chauncellor and in his absence to the Vice-chancellor and the subordinate Ministers of the University.

Looming dim and dim and dimmer Thro' an amethystine haze.

Human tears and h uman laughter Mingle by the ocean's brim,

While the " Here ' ' pursues " Hereafter," O'er the far horizon's rim.

EXIT H UBERT McGIGGIS .

0 m any people h ave asked me why H ubert McGiggis went down fro m Cambridge without a degree, and why there is such a mystery about his departure from the C ollege, that

I h ave determ in ed to publish the dHails of his unusually sudden disappearance. It is probable that I alone possess the real facts of the case. I h ave heard it said that McGi ggis was " sent down," and I a m i n a position to state that this is i ncorrect. That it was only his sudden disappearance which prevented that disaster is, however, an unhappy fact. There is no doubt that m y friend would h ave been " sent down," h ad he not volun tarily retired, and he would h ave been thus pun ished owing to a chain of circumstances over which he had n o con trol. In setting forth the facts of the case in th is way I feel that I am doing something to clear the character of an in nocent m a n . I thi nk it p robable that my friend is n o w on a desert island in mid-Pacific : I hope he is n owhere worse. Wherever he is, he is attended by a devoted, if som ewhat eccentric, servant , of wh om m ore anon.

I h ave signally failed if I h ave not conveyed to the reader in p revious papers that M c Giggis was far fro m an ordinary personage. For instance, though he was over t wenty-two years of age, he still believed i m plicitly i n fairy tales. Again , I have signally failed i f I have n ot h itherto successfully shown th at he h ad very excellen t reasons for believing in the m . It m ay be said that his whole life was, and perhaps still is, a fairy tale. That expla ins, to some extent, why he continually saw things

E.�: it H ubcrt !tl cGiggis. 35

that other people d i d n o t see. One of the things which

1 and which apparently nobody else ever saw, 1e saw, . . . a n otice in a s m all and dirty old cunosity shop 111 was . · d b Cur·e street in Cambridge. Tins n ottce rea : an o s . .

" Aladdin l amps sold here." O n see1t1 g the notice-well calculated to excite the i nterest of such a m a n a s :i\1cGiggis-he at once entered t h e shop, a n d emerged again the owner of an Aladd i n lamp. .

The lamp was an ordin ary bronze lamp of a classical build. I t w as shaped like a sauce- boat shut in at the top, while at the end opposite to the handle wa� a small hole into which the wick could be inserted. It m ay be as \vell to m ention here that up to a certain point I obtained th i s n arrative fro m l\Ic G i ggis's own lips . Having p rocured his lamp, the next m ove was obviously to see whether it was i n proper working conditio n . l\IcGiggis took it to his rooms, ' ' sported " hi mself i n , a n d proceeded t o r u b t h e l a m p . Subsequent proceedings shewed that th e working condition of the lamp was al l th at could be desired. He had not rubbed his lamp for half a mi nute before a shadowy form began to m ake itself apparent. This shadow gradually materialised until l\IcGiggis could see that it was apparently a n old ge ntleman of rather u n prevossessing appearance, with a long beard and a hooked n ose. H e wore a turban, bagg?' t.rousers, an� the Eastern costume general ly . l\ l cGiggis could easily see the fu rniture behind the old man, even when he had finished m aterialising. He n ever suffered m uch fro m nerves, and he took the old ge�tlem an's appearance as a m atter of course. . ' I suppose you are the genius of the lamp ? " he sa1d .

, , I prefer, i f y o u don't mind," h e answered " to be �ll.ed a dj inn. You see I don't belong to the Trade T

worker, and I i n sist upon working t wenty-four hours a day."

" Oh," said McGiggis ; " I w ish you didn't smell so infern ally of sulphur though ."

" That I am afraid I can't help. I have been out of work for so long that the s mell has not had time to wear off. However, now that I have got a j ob I shall proceed to make up for lost time. I m ay mentionth ough perh aps a lesser dj inn m ight think such a statemen t unbecoming-that you are fortun ate in h aving p rocured this particular l amp."

The dji n n bowed. McGiggis bowed back, and said, " May I ask in what way you i n tend to m ake up for lost time ? "

" By serving you as assiduously as possible. You see, we dj inns specialise in vari ous branches of work ; some serve their m asters by carrying them great distan ces ; others h elp their m asters to th e top of the tree by removing those who stand in the way ; some speci alise entirely in murder. Now my fo?'te is the acquisition of property. I take it that you, like all other human beings I have met, desire your possessions to be i n creased ? "

" Certainly," said McGiggis. " Well, fro m this time forward I shall spend the rest

of m y time adding to your property. As I do n ot belong to the Trade Union I shall be able to work un ceasingly. I wish you a very good evening." The dj i n n then vanished in the approved churchyard ghost style. McGiggis retired to bed , speculating as to the means whereby the dj inn would i ncrease his property.

When he got up he found in his sittin g- room, besides his breakfast, a street piano-orga n , a p arrot in a cage, a m on grel puppy, and apparently the contents of a whole boot shop. He summoned the dj i n n by means of the lamp, and expostulated with h i m . The dj i n n was rather hurt, as he evidently thought he had done a good m orning's work. At last, however, he was persuaded

Exit Hu bert McGiggis. 37

to restore the miscellaneous collection to its rightful

owners . 1\IcGiggis asked him n ot to acquire any more

property, but the dj inn in sisted upon �t, sayit� g th�t

perhaps he m ight soon bring someth111 g wh1ch l1 1s

m aster would like. \Vhen 1\icGiggis came home from his afternoon walk

h e found more property had been acquired for h i m

by his devoted dj i n n . This time he found a grama

phonc, about t wo dozen socks (obviously taken from

a clothes-line), a m arble statue of Apollo, a life-belt,

a churn, and a second-hand suit of clerical cloth ing. This time McGiggis lost his temper with the dj inn, and the dj inn at fi rst flatly refused to take the things back. H o wever, both eventually s o ftened, and at last the dj inn consented to return the things. He also pro mised to apologise to the clergy man whose clothes he had taken. l\I cGiggis often wondered what the clergyman th ough t when his clothes, which h ad m ost mysteriously di sappeared, were returned by an aged and apologetic dj inn . Probably he considered it to be a very realistic dream .

This sort of th ing went on for some time, but after .1\IcGiggis had found an eleph ant, belonging to Bostock's men agerie, i n his room he decided to take someone i nto his confidence. He therefore selected me as his con fi d a n t , and we d i scussed the matter.

" You. see, " he said , " each time the old man fills my rooms wllh assorted curiosities it is m ore difficult than e��r to get him to take them back. One of these days h� 11 refuse, and then I shall be fairly up the gum-tree. It s ho�eless to argue with him : I suppose it's my fault for tellmg· him I sl Id l ' l 1 o u 1 < e my property i ncreased and n ow h e h as got tl t ' d . . '

Now this remark 1 • 1armless as it appears, was the

cause of McGiggis' downfall. It was apparen tly overh eard by the dj i n n . The outcome of it was that the n ext morning McGiggis found his roo m turned practically into a l ibrary : bookcases full of volumes were p iled against the walls. The same morn ing he heard that the College tutors had all mysteriously lost large p ortions of their libraries. The thief had most cleverly abstracted the volumes, bookcases and all . To m ake m atters worse, what McGiggis h ad feared came to pass. The dj inn positively and flatly refused to take the books b ack . Remonstrances, prayers, even tears, were of n o avail. McGiggis h ad asked him to acquire books, and h e had acquired books : his p art of the transaction was done. I can easily picture the dismay of my frien d : the presence of the books i n his rooms was probably known already to h i s " gyp," who must of necessity report the fact to the authorities. Nothing on earthnot even the dj inn h i m self-could prevent h is bei n g " sent down " o n c e t h e books were discovered i u h i s rooms. A t last the only course he could reason ably t ake occurred to h i m . He sum moned the dj i n n .

" Look here, y o u o l d thief," he s aid, " You speci alise in thieving, and I believe you enjoy it. Now, wil l you steal anyth ing I tell you ? "

" Certainly, I will," said the dj i n n . " Swear." T h e dj i n n swore. " Now then , I command you to steal ·me ! " Since this extraord in ary di alogue McGiggis h as not

been seen either alive or dead. It m ay be asked how I came to know of this part

of the story, since I o bviously could not h ave got it from McGiggis . The only other person I could have got it fro m was the dj inn, and it was th e dj i n n who told me. When the search for McGiggis was i n progress I bethought me of the Aladdin lamp. I got i n to McGiggis' rooms, found the lamp, and rubbed it . My conversat i o n w i t h t h e dj inn, w h o promptly m ade his appearance, was something like this :

E.-ril Huberl McGiggis. 39

" \\There is H ubert M cGiggis ? " " Oh , you'd l ike to know, woul d n ' t you ? "

" Of course I should, you dilapidated old lump of

sulph urous vapour, o r I shouldn ' t h ave asked."

" Take m y advice, and keep a civil tongue in your

head." " Wh at h ave you done with McGiggis ? " " I ' ve stolen h i m . " " Oh , don't b e such an o l d blitherer, and do talk

sense for a timP.." " I will not be insulted by you ; you are not m y

m aster." A fter about two hours of this kind of dial ogue I began

to have some gli m m erings of the facts of the case : I h ave written it d own exactly as i t happened, so far as I can d i scover. So that was how Ilubert Me Giggis disappeared from all active interest in Cambridge life.

T H E ROMANCE OF M ODERN

to the pure all things are pure, so I suppose to the romantic all things are romantic. Some people can read fairy tales where plain folk would only see bricks and mortar. But

a touch of romance may be given to the most prosaic objects in such a way as to cast that mysterious glamour over th em which calls forth the homage of the lowest minds. Has it been no one's experience to go i n to a second- rate theatre, and be sensible of the following emotions ? Seated in the auditorium we obsf-!rve the grotesquely h ideous picture daubed on the drop-curtain. The grim figures of Comedy and Tragedy, recli n ing towards each other, stare vacantly from above, and a grimy statue, holding a lamp, stands o n either side. Suddenly all is altered, the orchestra has struck up a lively popular air. Immediately the figures assume a differen t a ttitude. The picture in the dropcurtain starts into movement ; Comedy and Tragedy look fearfully re:ll, and even the statues cease to be sordid. At such times some of us ( the more romantic, perhaps) are tempted to mutter to ourselves the n ames of heroes of bygone days, such as-" Constantine the Roman ! "-" Edwin of Deira ! "-and the like, feeling in ourselves the times that they l ived in , with strange emotions of battle and wonder.

A gain, on the deck of a pleasure steamer, a humble l ittle band begins to play. Instantly the scene answers to the strain . The great cumulus rol l of smoke from the funnel passes over with mysterious and dignified

It is very i nteresting to notice how at the present

day railway companies i n particul ar have directed

their artists to appeal to the romantic side of the public

m ind. Two things have to be advertised- the train

and the steamer. Looking at these from the point of

view of a very ordin ary person who regards them as

mere factors of transit they appear thus :-An engine

is a disagreeable nuisance, noisy, and smoky. Its

driver is an individual seldom seen or thought of, but

one imagines h im to be a dirty man, who drinks

horribly. A railway station is a filthy concern, and

porters are grabbing men of the eye-service description.

Tunnels surpass all malediction .

The steamer is even worse. Passengers are hustled

aboard, pounced on by wolfish stewards, m ade sick by

the smell and motion, and fi nally hustled off again .

Despite all these grim tmths the artist brings light

and shade to bear and gul ls the popular fancy with m agic pencil and pigment, changing things from the earthy to the heavenly i n the same way that we have observed things change under the charm of music.

Now without the a id of the advertisement i t zs possible to get up a certain amount of enthusiasm about a train, with its engine foaming and screaming like a l iving monster, but to be e nraptured with an electric train requires a good deal of imagination. There is no warmth or l i fe about this m achine. Even the " motorman," with his clean face, brand new uniform, and waxen moustache, chil ls one to the m arrow.

Yet one of the London electric rail ways which runs its trains i nto the " gay beams of lightsome day " has a m ost striking and beautiful advertisement. As usual i t owes i ts good features to the halo romantic. Here we have a scene of twilight and roseate sky. A tal l gaunt embankment towers darkly aloof. Sweeping to a graceful curve o n the top is an electric train . The windows are l it and the end of the last carriage d isplays a red tail-light. Beyond, the green gl int of a signal lamp shows faintly, and then the whole merges into the mystery of sunset. Perchance our spirit goes with it and the purpose of the artist is fulfilled.

The old-fashioned advertisements of steamers merely consisted of black uninterest ing bi l l heads, with a conventional ship stemming a conventional sea. Now we descry a great scape of ocean weltering in the blood of sunset glory. A coast-line expands di mly athwar t the distance, a l ightship looms ghostly i n the twilight, and a painted buoy, o'er-perched with sea-gulls, rides solemnly at anchor. It is tossed from the wake of a steamer which has lately gone by, and is now mingling with the uncertai n l ight of sea and coast and sky. Thus we are allured and n ot always i neffectively.

What does all this mean ? Why does the grim man

The Romcmce of Modem A dvertisement. 45

of the city office bid the artist appeal, l ike the Romish

Priest, to the secret depths of man's soul ?

To understand we must ask ourselves more ordinary

questions.

Why does the careless boy tear breathless over lea

and croft in the dim of day, to see the roaring m ail

train snatch its burden from the standard , and hurl its

complement into the ready net ?

Why is i t th at tears start to the eyes of some on

hearing the imperious peal of the gong in the steamer's

engine room ? Is it not the same spirit that fired our ancestors with

the name of King ! when the drum s thundered in their

streets and the trumpets blared in the long light of

morning ? Is i t not something of this that i s felt even by

the browsing cattle when they low and whimper at the first grumble of thunder in the sultry distance ?

Yes, all i s one. It i s that part i n the depth of animal nature which yearns for the great beyond, casting bl indly but earnestly for that distance which l ies on the further side of the Hour of Death.

WORDSWORT H ' S PRELUDE.

" Til E degradation . . . was transient ; I had known

Too forcibly, too early in my life,

\"isilings of imaginative power Fm· this to last : I shook the habit off Entirely and for ever, and again I n Nature's presence stood, as now I stand,

A sensitive being, a creative soul."

Such i s \Vordsworth' s state of mind in the beginning of the Prel ude, which opens with his return to his n ative h ome,

" Free as a bird to settle where he will. "

H e can feel the i nspiration to write strong within him ; h e h as j ust passed through several years of anxiety and unrest of mind, and now retu rn s to Nature for peace and consolation. He has longings t o write all kinds o f verse, but all seem baffling, elusive, u nsatisfyin g ; al l save the one great theme, the unchanging truth, Nature, and its effects upon his mind. Th ere at last he hns a defi n ite task before h i m .

• • The ro<J cl lies plain before me ;-'tis a theme :::iinglc and of determined bounds ; and hence I choose it rather at this time, than work Of ;unpler or more varied argument, "•here I might be discomfited and lost."

48 vVordsworth's Prelude.

Without any more delay Wordsworth plunges into his task and relates his childhood, and the impressions m ade upon it from the very outset by the beauties of Nature all around. And here a word may be said on

Wordsworth's conception of Nature. Born as he was among some of the most wonderful scenery of the world, where the sternness of m ountain ridges was blended with the gentleness of lake, woodland, and pasturage, he was bound from the first to see both the grandeur and the sweetness of Nature ; and being a child of solitary and medi tative disposition this had such effect upon him that Nature was to him far more a real spirit than to other m en . The elation of the soul, the rising of the divine part of man to blend in sympathy with the i nfinity of the universe, these feelings that come only in moments of supreme joy anrl ecstasy to most of us, were so encouraged and enlarged i n Wordsworth that they became part of his habitual l ife · " Fair seed-time had my soul," he says, and indeed one can hardly imagine a fairer. H is childhood is a playt ime in the happiest fields of Nature, and these two books breathe the fragrance of his s ilent solitary communion. Single incidents stand out, where every detail is remembered, and the whole impression comes back to the poet exactly as i t was felt at the time.

" U nfading recollections ! at this hour The heart is almost mine with which I felt ."

This is exactly true to l ife : single incidents do stand out l ike this, but in Wordsworth's case the whole year, summer and winter, is full of such impressions, each one of which he recognises as moulding his life and intellect. Nature is no abstract thing, but a l iving m istress, often almost feared with a kind of awe, as when in a borrowed boat he saw the " huge peak, black and huge," looming out of the moon-lit waters, as though chiding the " act of stealth ." These two books are ful l of magnificent description, and earnest childish faith in what he sees, loving all things great and small.

TVordsworlh's Prelude. 49

The third book is disappointing : Wordsworth 's

Cambridge l ife is not particularly in teresting. " Imagi

nation slept," he says, " an d yet not utterly." Not

utterly because he can say : " Though I passed

yet

From the remembrances of better things,

And slipped into the ordinary works

Of careless youth,"

' ' I had a world about me-'twas my own ;

I made it , for it only lived in me."

He had his sol itary hours, when some thought him

m ad, and here he hacl his first glimpse of man and his

different characters, but he does not seem interested , as

he writes, in his Col lege l ife as a whole, and the book

contains a great deal of moral ising on the coldness of

Ch apel services, which is rather tiresome and out of

place. It is with visible relief that his theme returns to

his native home. At once all the old thoughts and

memories return : his walks

" In all their freshness now came back, Like a returning Spring."

Once more he enjoys silence and solitude, happy walks

and musings, rejo icing in the beauty of the land ;

but he is learning to enjoy more. He h as for n ine

months been in intercourse with J\1an, and the experi

ence has left its mark upon him.

" A freshness also found I at this time In human Life, the daily life of those \Vhose occupations really I loved."

His eyes are opened to the beauty of man and the beauty of toil , and he begins to study man's simple ways anti thoughts ; most clearly he points to this period as the origin of his interest in " objects of everyday l i fe ." Not that he had fa iled to take an interest in the coun try folk before ; but n ow that he h as seen l ife at Cambridge, and a great deal of town work

\'Q L, XXX I I . E

so TVordsworth's Prelude.

that is neither simple n or beautiful, he sees the people l abouring around him unconscious of the honour and dignity of their toil, their passions, and their thoughts,

as he himself h ad been unconscious until he h ad seen a different world outside with which to compare them.

Yet, he says, " there was an inner falling off " ; his mind

" Was a t that time A parti-coloured show of grave and gay, Solid and light, short-sighted and profound."

Two incidents he gives of the way i n which his two natures were combined. The first describes how he spent the whole night at a country dance, and then , on h is return at early morn ing, saw a magnificent sunrise, and how that sight woke al l his old ideals and aspirations.

" My heart was full ; I made no vows, but vows Were then made for me ; bond unknown to me Was given, that I should be, else sinning greatly, A dedicated Spirit. On I walked In thankful blessedness, which yet survives."

The other incident is very much the same, where, after a whole day's pleasure, he comes upon the old veteran standing weird and soli tary in his path . Both show with wonderful vividness his state of m ind, generally idleness, pleasure, and the conscious yet voluntary suppression of higher feelings, and then occasionally the sudden and intense reaction to his real self.

The fifth book, on Books, is less straight-forward than most, and it is not always quite clear what Wordsworth is aiming at-perhaps he was not really sure himself, and did not quite see how far books had influenced him, and what was their exact value to him. But i t is clear that he believes i n the great power that romance and fairy tales have had upon him, and

their value in childhood.

" The child, whose love is here, at least, cloth reap One precious gain, that he forgets himself."

H1ordsworlh's Prelude. 5 1

He sees i n them the highest phil osophy, the un iversal ;

he recogn ises in these " dreamers and forgers of daring

tales " the gratification of the longings of childhood ,

childhood which to Worclsworth was the most divine

part of human life, . . " whtch stts upon a throne

That bath more power th< m all the elements."

A curious mixture this fifth book : the dream of the

Arab and his two books is in a way quite romantic,

while this part of the poem also contains some of the

most in teresting of \Vordsworth's philosophy. What

concerns us at present is the influence of books on

the poet's mind, and it i s clear that he wishes to pay

tribute to the great poets, and the knowledge of Nature

he has drawn fro m them, and to " Arabian fiction,"

which he treasured so carefully as a boy. The book

52 �Vordsworlh's Prelude.

College life has widened the poet's m ind from silent solitary communion with Nature to the study of man as well ; he has read much too, though what, he does not tell us definitely, nor are we particularly anxious to know. Now comes a change.: he leaves England for a trip on the Continent. Glad to be freed from Col lege studies, he sails for France, and at once a new note is; struck. He sees the effects of the French Revolution . Take his own words,

" and there we saw In a mean city, and among a few, How bright a face is worn when joy of one Is joy for tens of millions."

lie saw al l the fi rst joy and happiness of new-born Liberty, and it was just what he wanted to see. He could not foresee a reaction ; and this ephemeral rejoicing made a profound impression upon him . It is the prelude of what is to come in his residence i n France some years later ; o f that buoyant excessive trust in the Republic which it caused him such pain to abandon. Of course he saw the dark side when he came upon the Convent of Chartreuse plundered, and its occupants exiled, but that is but a l ittle flaw in the great perfection of the n ew regime, and he goes on to the Alps with a joy and happiness that is reflected in the grand poetry with which he describes his travels. These passages are some of the finest in all Words worth's poetry : mountain and river, glacier and crevasse, pasture and woodland were all seen with rapture and delight, and a feeling of peace and brotherhood with all mankind.

1 1 With such a book Before our eyes, we could not choose but read Lessons of genuine brotherhood."

1 1 Who," he says, 1 1 could view unraised To patriarchal dignity of mind Those sanctified abodes of. oeaceful man Pleased with his daily task )r i f not pleased Contented ? "

IVordsworth's Prelude. 53

A glorious t ime he calls it , when al l the n ations

were zealous in the cause of liberty, and there was

an universal stir ; but he h imself looked on i t from

a distance-a young man who d id not t�ouble about the

affairs of n ations, bnt only saw everywhere a beauty

and a joy in Nature and in Man.

The seventh book gives the last stage of the growth of

h is m ind, before the great test, the crisis of his l i fe, the

French Revolution . Undecided as to a profession, he

lived for a year in London and saw a different aspect of

life-man l iving as far as possible away from Nature,

and wealth , pleasure, vice, and folly all moving in a

rpetual whirl of shallowness. He thought deeply

d he felt very deeply in that year : truly awful is one

those scenes that he recalls with such intense vivid

s, a child in all the beauty of his innocence, placed

upon a table, the admiration of all, surrounded by a

crowd of drunkards and harlots, and then the cry of

pity for a soul doomed in its very childhood---the prayer

" that this fair creature, checked, By special pri\'ilege of Nature's love ) Should in his childhood be detained for ever J "

It is a deep and awful thought, and one might have thought that \Vordsworth's faith i n Nature would have been broken by all that he saw and :Delt B t · t . · u 1 was n�t so : m all the hubbub of the streets, the glare and ghtter of the stage, the gibbering folly of ranter and mountebank · ves · tl b 1 h

faces to deep and noble conte mpl ation of life , and h e can say a t the e n d that amid all the confusion, din, and j ostle of the city,

1 1 This did I feel, in London's vast domain, The spirit of Nature was upon me there ; The soul of Beauty and enduring Life Vouchsafed her inspiration, and diffused, Through meagre lines and colours, and the press

Of self-destroying, transitory things, Composure and ennobling Harmony."

T h e eighth book is a retrospect, and a very fitting time for a pause. Wordsworth looks back upon his l ife, and sees the love of Nature leading to love of Man : and one figure he now remembers, forgotten before, which seemed a l ink between the two, the shepherd. The shepherd is to Wordsworth esentially a man belonging to the earth , and the solitary, weird fi gure seen in all aspects of Nature and all seasons zs somehow a bond between Nature and Man ; but m ore than that he represents an ideal, the ideal of hard yet contented toil . And Wordsworth sees the i mportance of seeing man fi rst i n his noble aspect, and attributes quite rightly to this fi rst admiration of man the source of his u nshaken faith in him, when he sees h i m in his degraded and sordid aspect. More, the presence of vice is a foil to ideals, and the l ife of London only enhanced in Wordsworth's eyes the beauty of the ideal h e h ad seen before, as typified in the life of the shepherd.

" Neither vice nor guilt, . could overthrow my trust

In what we may become." This is the m ain idea of this retrospect, which sums

up the various influences of Wordsworth ' s l ife to a definite point, showing us the man before his residen ce in France, when his mind is a calm, un troubled sea, seeing i n life nothing but smiling sunlight and laughin g ripple. But it is the calm that p recedes the storm, a storm of doubts, perplexities, and frustrated hopes,

TVordsworlh's Pt·clude. 55

endin g i n utter loathing an d despair. Such is the

effect upon him of the failure of t he first French Republ i c,

leaving him i n a state of cynicism almost, from which

he was only awoken by the calm, hopeful infl uence of

his sister, cal ling him back to peac� of m ind and

a belief in Nature only stren gthened by doubt and

despair. At fi rst 'Vordsworth was little m oved by the affairs

around him in Fran ce ; he describes himself l ike a

hot-house plant impervious to th e storms around him :

but th is does n ot last long, a n d soon, m oved by the

m,

" A li\"ing conformation of the whole Before us."

And then another of those vivid incidents, a " hungerbitten girl "-and the poet's great love for all human beings is aroused, and h e welcomes the new Republic

nd its dreams of poverty abolished, and cruelty and rapaciousness destroyed, forgetting that those views re U topian and illusory. And so when he visits Paris fter the overthrow of the King, a n d sees signs of cruelty nd i m moderation in the new formed Republic, and the doubts arise within his mind, the disill usionment i s the h a rd er. Some o f the fi n est l ines i n the whole tell how the first n i ght in Paris h e could not sleep, saw again and again the September massacres of a th ago, and felt that a repetition was at hand - " all

things have second birth ." But still he has belief in a Providence that guides a l l things ; i f there were but one man to guide the erring State. And then Britain joins Europe against France.

He had returned to England, but his heart was with France : still he saw in her the cause of liberty, and rej oiced in England's defeats. Then feelings of abject despair settled upon him ; France burst out i nto the worst enormities, and

" all perished, allFriends, enemies, of all parties, ages, ranks, Head after head, and never heads enough, For them that bade them fall ."

And yet he did not despair : the examples of fortitude and love shone out all the brighter in the darkness, and then at last hope was restored in the death of Robespierre and the fal l of his party.

But this hope was of short duration. France changed the desire of liberty to lust of conquest, and Wordsworth despaired utterly. He indulged in ideals of social l iberty, based on a m ore exalted Nature, and then, p lunging into abstract polities, finally gave up everything in despair . Th en at last Nature came to his aid, helped by his sister's gentler influence, and gradually led him back to his old faith .

Such is the poet's description of his own " passing through the fire." Magnificently told-it is not merely a wonderful description of the stages of his mind's growth during those years, but it is also a wide and far-searching commentary on the history of the French Revolution. Wordsworth was there, could see the men themselves, and h is intense love and sympathy for the poor and oppressed enabled him to understand their p assions, hopes, and fears.

The l ast three books of the Prelude, or rather the last three books and a half, describe W ordsworth after his return to Nature,

" no further changed Than as a clouded and a waning moon."

1Vordworth 's Prelude. 57

He had been searching after ideals, looking for a better

man than was to be found upon this earth, craving

for " combinations of new forms," i l l -content with every

thing. And yet he says, " I knew a maid,

\\'ho wekomecl what was given, and craved no more ;

\\'hatc'cr the scene presented to her view

That was the best."

Such was \\T ordsworth's own feeling before the period

of doubt and cynicism, and such the feeling to which h e

returns again a t l ast. His mental degradation was, as

ays, but transient : he shakes it all off, and returns

ture, but in a more submissive mood, willing to sit

r feet and learn. And it all comes back to him

; every scene brings back its memories, as when

recalls the feeling of loneliness and dreariness fel t

when he had lo:;t h is companion and comes upon a bare

heath, and looks out upon the waste moorlands and

s ilent lake and sees a girl struggling, alone, to make

headway against the wind ; and he recalls, too, how he

came at other times to this same place, when al l was

fair and pleasant, lit up by " youth's golden gleam." All these old memories returned, and his old faith came back.

" So feeling comes in aid Of feeling, and diversity of strength Attends us, if but once we have been strong."

But Nature now means ever more to him ; he sees in her the universal, and learns from her to see what universal good there is in m an, even i n the humblest . The last hook opens with a grand description of a n ight ascent of Snowdon, a vision which he describes as the type of a great intellect, " feeding upon infinity." The reat poet secs everything in their relation to universal truth, does uot n eed great people, great places, or great deeds to rouse him, for all things of earth are equal compared with the infinite. And so we can see most c learly the reasons why Words worth wrote of " trivial "

i ncidents of " every-day life " ; the nobleness of man and nature is found alike i n the grand and the humble. And this consciousness of the dignity of man, of his p lace in the eternal universe, and his partaking of the Divine, is what leads to pE:ace and love-

" Love that adores, but on the knees of prayer, By heaven inspired ; that frees from chains the soul, Lifted, in union with the purest, best, Of earth-born passions, on the wings of praise Bearing a tribute to the Almighty's Throne.''

The Prelude is finished : Wordsworth has fulfilled his task, and traced the " Origin and progress of his own powers, �o far as he is acquainted with them." I seem to have quoted a great deal , and paraphrased still more, but I too h ave fulfilled my task, to trace i n a short space the thread o f the poem. The Prelude cannot be read at a s itting, an essay can. And so it has been my object to trace the unity of the poem in a few pages, and if the method has in some cases resulted in mere autobiography, yet it has provided the opportunity of discussing the subject m atter as i t arose a n d o f explaining the poet's feelings a n d their growth at the proper stages.

A few words may be added on the form and composition of the poem. Its uni ty is well m aintained throughout, and the one purpose always kept in view ; sometimes i n the several books i t is a l ittle difficult to follow the course of the argumen t-there are digressions, but in every case a close study will show their purpose. I was annoyed at first by frequent exhortations to his friend Coleridge, but when I discovered in the l ast book the feelings Wordsworth had towards him, knowing that he would understand the poem, and would sympathise with i t, whatever other people thought of it , I saw a new meaning in the passages, and on a second reading could appreciate them. So i t is with most of Wordsworth : men are bothered and bored by him, s imply because they will not trouble to

study and understand him.

vVordsworth's Prelude. 59

In form and d iction Wordsworth' s views are too

well known to be discussed. The preface to his second

edition of the Lyrical ballads fully explains his ideas

on the subject . The Prelude at least .amply justifies

them : the purity, simplicity, and truth of his diction

exactly suits his theme, and the poem is a proof of h is

power, without any arts of rhyme or what he calls

" poetic diction " to m aintain a high poetical level.

Matthew Arnold says somewhere that the greatness

of \Vordsworth lies in the great body of powerful work

he has produced, and the Prelude is a striking example

this. Parts of the poem are certainly dull and prosy,

t these passages seem to grow less the more the

thor and his poem are understood, and parts that

t fi rst seem dull and prosaical are often found to con

tain some of the finest philosophy in the poem.

But the Prelude contains also some of the grandest

descriptive passages in all poetry ; many have already

been noticed-some of the finest are i.n the sixth book,

concerning his tour in Switzerland, but there are m agni

ficent ones to be found throughout the poem. But almost

as wonderful are some of his descriptive touches, a l ine,

?erh aps two or three, where on e is given a picture

tn a flash ,. gone in a moment, m aking one jump up

for a penctl to m ark the l ine before it is lost in the great whole. I select a few at random :

or

" Catching from tufts of grass and hare-bell flowers Their faintest whisper to the passing breeze, Given out while mid-clay heat oppressed the plains,"

' ' And all the landscape, endlessly enriched \Vith waters running, falling, or asleep,"

or again

" lights and shades That marched and countermarched about the hills."

The beauty of such lines can be felt, not expl ained. The Prelude too contains some of Wordsworth's

most famous l ines, fa miliar by constant quotation, such as :

or

" Newton, with his prism and silent face, The marble index of a mind for ever Voyaging through strange seas of thought alone."

" There is One great society alone on earth : The noble Living and the noble Dead."

I have only praised Wordsworth, I h ave not criticised him in the sense of picking holes in him : for the essence of good criticism is to appreciate the good in the author rather than to censure the bad-the latter form of criticism is peculiarly easy. But it must be confessed that I cannot always read Wordsworth with great interest or appreciation. Often in the present study I have found passages very dry and uninteresting ; have sometimes, when " in the mood " seen beauty in almost every l ine and thought, and then suddenly it all flies and vanishes and I wonder quite where it was I saw the peculiar beauty. In fact i t often requires an effort to put oneself into his min d a n d see as he does ; but as h e h imself says : " Every great writer must himself create the taste by which he is to be relished," and I can only say that the effort of seeing as he does is amply rewarded by the greatness of the vision.

62 Mr Festing ]ones on Samuel Butler.

" Mr Festing Jones described the life of Samuel Butler in a direct and quiet way that made us realize instructively the greatness of a man whom St John's is proud to n umber among its most dist inguished sons. No effort was made to impress upon us, n o effort was n eeded o n our own part t o appreciate what a force Samuel Butler has continued and will continue t o exert in English literature.

" Samuel Butler was later than many in fi nding

himself. He was always a man of very considerable versatility-classical scholar, mathematician_, sheepfarmer, scientist, painter, musician, and man of letters ; abo\'e all he was by n ature a poet. His upbringing was that of Ernest, described with such biting sarcasm in " The Way of All Flesh " ; but, unlike Ernest, he never '' entered the Church." His revolt against parental dictation as to his career began with his doubts upon the efficacy of Infant Baptism-thence he advanced to a complete denial of the most essential dogma of the Church-the Resurrection . For some years after giving- up the idea of entering the Church, he was sheep-farming i n New Zealand, and in New Zealand he laid the i ntroductory scene of " Erewhon." He returned to London in 1 86.� at the age of 28 , and took up his residence in Clifford's Inn, where was his home till his death in 1 90 2 .

" For some years he attempted t o make a living by painting and met with some slight success : gradually he drifted into authorship, though for long he considered this side of his work as entirely subordinate to painting : finally however painting became merely a hobby. His works are of great variety, including Biblical criticism, researcl� work upon the Odyssey, and Italian Art : but two main types stand o ut prominently-satire upon life full of rich humour, " Erewhon," " Erewhon Revisited " and " The Way of All Fle >h," and scientific treatises of a half-jesting

nature. As an observer of life he was extremely

shrewd ; he was always interested in wha: people

actually were rather than in what they �1d. As

a scientist he threw out hints and su�gestwns and

points of view of the utmost importance-as Mr

Bateson afterwards pointed O'lt.

•• l\lr Festing J ones gave us a delightful picture

of his quiet and unassuming life. He kept very

much to himself and a few very intimate friends :

the ' ' motif " of h is life seems to have been to give

as li ttle trouble to others as was possible. He was

lover of the country, and had travelled widely.

knew Canada as well as New Zealand : he had

n round the world : he knew Europe, including

;..a'iWeece. Italy, where he first went as a child, he

d very dearly, and he knew especially well the

Ticino Valley and Sicily : in both these districts he

was much honoured and beloved by all, especially

by the peasants. l\Ir Jones gave us some intimate

glances into his l ife there.

. " Butler was a musician of no mean merit, though

h1s col l aboration with 1\Ir Festing J ones has not been

rewarded with the crown of popular success. Butler was an ardent admirer of Handel : the boy Ernest in " The \V ay of All Flesh " with his precocious love of H andel is actually the l•oy Samuel Butler. For compo�ers later than Handel Butler could get u no enthuswsm.

the paper-the quiet account of the Butler's ashes appealed to many as the

rfection of simplicity."

Th e following notice of the meeting appeared 111 " Camb1 tdg-e R.evieZIJ " :-

friend. Mr Festing J ones took the line of biography rather than criticism, and with a quite unusual skill brought Butler before his audience. The very delivery of Butler's words-sometimes of Mr J ones' own sentences-was extraordinary for the delicate poise, which might be playful or earnest, or both, but gave remarkably that hovering feeling which makes Butler. Butler's comment on the comparative merits of illuminated missals and ' saliva-bubbles ' for the relief of tedium under certain circumstances-his daily round exact to hour and minute-his opera on the Stock Exchange, to which he wished no extra orchestration to be added,

So either ltave the thing alone Or do i t as we wish it clone.

(' And I may add that the choral societies of England have taken the first alternative ')-his aphorism-his pictureshis thoughts on Biology, his fancies as to the Trapanese authoress of the Odyssey and his theological problems and speculations-his feeling on his deathbed when, in spite of a notion that h is work was clone, he believed himself recovering, ' it's very inartistic, but I cannot help it '--the whole thing was a masterpiece of sympathetic portraiture.

One or two quotations our readers may be glad to have ' One's ideas' said Butler, ' come so fast that one must shoot them ; it's no good trying to put salt on their tails. ' ' Earnestness ' he said of Disraeli, and thought perhaps of himself at the moment, ' was his great clanger, but if he did not quite overcome it (as indeed who can ? i t is the last enemy that shall be subdued), he managed to veil it with a fair amount of success.' Columbus, he said, it was who bashed the egg down on the table and remarked ' E pur non si muove.'

Mr Bateson, in thanking Mr Jones, spoke with warmth of the value of Butler's work, Life and Habit, to biologists and of the strong friendship which his writings generally win him from readers who never even saw him. This was perhaps as interesting a contribution as any other two minutes of the meeting.

After this the moon was eclipsed, and one felt somehow that i t was an appropriate finish to the evening.

" The circuit of the lake thus incl uded in New Testament t i mes a considerable variety of elements. There was the great Roman city of Tiberias, pagan and d isreputable, yet for a time the cap ital of the d istrict. O n the hi lltops overlooking the lake were the free Greek cities of Gadara, H ippos, and (apparen tly) Gerasa, i ntensely anti-Jewish and h ated in turn by the Jews. Around two-th i rds of the circ u m ference memory calls back the sound of the clash of arms, while in times of peace almost everywhere i ncense rises to heathen gods."

This has i ts beari n g on the m ost i n teresting of these topics, viz. , the site of Capern a u m . Of the two sites which are now recognised as possible, Khan Minia and Tell H urn, opinion in rece nt y ears h as been setting in favour of the former. D r Masterm a n restates t h e case for T e l l H u m o r Telhum, and he would write it , very forcibly. In this he follows the lead and, to a large extent, the a rgu m ents of Professor Stewart Macal ister, the benefit of whose

company he had on his visit to the t wo sites. Professor M acalister's exam ination of the pottery led to certain results which m ust h ave great weight in the discussion

It is a saying in Galilee that if you would rid yoursel f of ants it is enough to sprinkle on their h oles some of the earth on w hich a tax-farmer has stood . Contact w i th anything so vile will drive even the ants precipitately away." The changes w h ich are so rapidly p assi n g over the land are effectively summarised.

WILLIA:M HAGGER BARLOW was born at Matlock i n r R33 o f a good Derbyshire stock, and went to school at Sheffield. In 1 85 3 he entered St Joh n ' s as a classical scholar and graduated B.A. in 1 85 7 · His University record is rem arkable : a sec ond class in two triposes (Classics, Theology), a third in one (Mathematics), and a first i n one (Moral Scien ces), not to mention the Carus Prize and a crop of College p rizes. He was ordained in 1858, the year of his en gagement to M iss Eliza Mary Williams ofUpton Park, Slough, whom he m arried shortly afterwards and took with him to his fi rst l i vin g, St B artholomew's, Bristol. He remained at Bristol until 1 873, when he moved to Oxford as Vica r of S t Ebbe's . After two years h e was called to the Pri ncipalship o f t h e College i n Isl i n gton, a post which he held fo r seve n years.

controlled the famous Islington Clerical Meeting ; and he was for many years the m ost valued counsellor of the Chmch Patronage Trustees. The pages in the Life describi ng the extraordinary care and skil l with which he exercised h is functions as patron, are perh aps the most instructive in the whole book, and bear striking testimony to his shrewdness, his judgement, and his self-sacrifice. The frequent and tiresome journeys which he would take in order to satisfy himself at first hand that candidates for l ivings in the gift of the Trustees were really fit and proper persons greatly strained h is strength and , i t is hinted, were in some degree responsible for his last i l lness. But when al l possible pains had been expended upon any given case a1 1d when once the appointment was m ade, Barlow would lay aside all anxiety and after-thought. " We must leave the result in the hands of God," he would say, " and we can only now pray that our nominee's work m ay be greatly blessed ." It i s an attitude of mind and a course of action altogether consonant with the highest Ch ristian teaching upon effort in its relation to prayer.

All this and much more that will interest senior subscribers to the Eagle and Dr. Barlow's m any friends is told by the d ifferent narrators and gathered together by Miss Margaret Barlow, who herself contributes the first chapter and half the last-" Early days " a n d " Life at the Deanery." It is these that contain the poin tsone from the beginning, the other from the end of Barlow's career-which will perhaps most immediately appeal to residents in Cambridge. I n I 858 he became the first Secretary of the Editorial committee of the newly founded Coll ege magazine ; in I 906 he lost his eldest son Henry Theodore Ed ward, who was Junior Dean from 1 894 to 1 900, and who, when he exchanged acad emic for pastoral work, left behind him here the memory of a man with very lofty ideals and of great personal charm.

PROFESSOR MAYOR.

li" wt wiLL members of the College, past and present,

will h ave heard with the deepest sorrow the

n ews of Professor Mayor's sudden death .

During the earlier part of the week he

appeared to be in excPllent health, reading the services

in Chapel , and din ing as usual in Hall. On the morn

ing of December 1 st, while preparing to go to early

Chapel , failure of the heart set in without warning, and

he d ied before medical assistance could be obtained.

There wil l be a great m ourning for him in the

University at large, and in the College which was

for so many years h is home, but those who miss h im

most will be thankful that h i s bright and eager

spirit was never d immed by the slow decay of t ime.

"re may say in the words of his own author, Juvenal ,

Quamvis digressu veteris confusus amici, Laudo tamen . . . .

A fuller obituary notice will appear i n the next

number of the Eagle ; but meanwhile the Editors are permitted to print the following letter from the l\Iaster of Trinity, addressed to our own Master as Vice-Chancel lor, in which he expresses h is sense of the loss which Cambridge h as sustained :

Trinity Lodge, Cambridge. Docem ber rst, I9IO.

Dear l\1r Vice-Chancellor, If the sad rumour is true that our dear old

friend, Professor Mayor, has suddenly passed away,

74 Projesso1 Mayor.

do let me assure you and your College of my respectful and profound sympathy.

I loved and revered the good old man. He was in many ways the ideal Scholar and Student of an earlier age-so beautifully simple, unworldly, fearless in love of truth, pious in every fibre of mind and heart.

It has been a beautiful Christian life, an example to us all.

Believe me to be

JOHNIANA. The follow ing account of Richard Gem, a member of the Col lege, a �pearecl in Notes and Queries for August 13, 1910 (11 th series 2, pp. 121-L.>) .

RICHA!m GEM. . Richard Gem, the only son of Wcharc! Gem, genlleman of \.Vorcester�htrc, was horn at Barnsley Hall in the Parish of Bromsgrove, hut there ��,no entry of hi

,� bap�ism in the parish regiskr. Nash , in his : ' 1-listcH·y of 01 ccslcrslll rc (t. b-1) says that" .Mr Gem of Birmtngham tS now lord �� lhe, l\I<1no!·. of Dodfo;·d '[in Bromsgrove ], where . h.

e has at� estate of . 0/ Pet ann. The son was bred in the house of \V t!hams Pht!tps, clerk, 8�lhc ci�y of \Vorcesler. Philips took the degree of B.A of Oriel Colleg_e, y: fotc!, lll 170-1; was l�ector of All Saints' \Vorcester, from 1710 lo 171:>; 0��r of St Peter's, \Vorcester. from the !alter year until 1n1 ; and Rector t o tnsgrovt: from 17-H to 175-1.

1 20 O�tr Chronicle.

A contributor lo The lllolltllly 11Ingazi11e for 1821 (vol. l i . , pp. 138-9) supplies some interesting reminiscences of Gem under the title of Dr Gom, bul in the inckx the name i s correclly given. He was not fond o f t h e ordinary system of education, b u t soughl lhe instruction ' ' of a neighbouring genlleman characterized as a freetliiukcr, who had i n fact been obliged tu leave the U niversity of Cambridge (where he had graduated) for h is openl y-avowed penchant to Unitarianism." This preceptor put translations of the works of Helvetius and Rousseau into the youth's hands, which inspired h i m w ith lhe desire of reading them in their original language, and he learnt French. This introduction tu the philosophical literature of France coloured the rest of h i s l i fe.

On 12 J une, 1735, when aged 19, Gem was admitted pensioner at St John's College, Cambt iclge, \\'hen Dr vVil l iam s became h i s tutor and surely (" Admissions to St John's," Pl. I l l . , 1903, eel. Scolt, p. 80) ; but h e seems to have left without taking h is degree. \Ve shall probably n o t err in drawing the inference that he was not in sympathy with the system of instruction which was then i m posed on youth al the U niversity. H i s " fond parent " had pointed oul the study of t h e l a w as t h e most profilable for h i m , but he put the suggestion o n one side and studied French and physic together.

In 1741 there was p ublished in London a l i llle tract of 54 pages bearing the tille of " An Account of the I�cmecly for the Stone lately publ ished in England . . . . extracted from the examinations of this remedy, given into the Hoyal Academy of Sciences at Paris, by l\1 . l\Iorancl and 1\J . Gcoffroy. By Richard Gem of the U n iversity o f Cambridge." This description shows that h e was not al that l ime, when h e was 25 years old, possessed of any medical degree, and I a m nol acquainted with the nature of his subsequent qualification. Probably it was from a foreign, if any, university. H is name does not ::tppear in Dr Munk's volume of the members of the London College of Physicians, nor dnes it occur, says 1\fr Victor G.

It i s slated in Tile lllon/11/y lllngnziue that Gem was known lo and noticed b y the Earl of H ertford, w ho gave him permission to visit Paris and lo enjoy the advantages o f connexion with the embassy. Unless this were a temporary visit only lhe statement conflicts with that recorded by the first Earl o f Malmesbury i n his diary (November, 1 796), after a call from Gem, lhal " he came to Paris in 1751 with Lord Albemarle." The Jlloulllly lllngazine anecdotist chronicles that Gem obtained through the favour of Lord Stormont lhe practice o f lhe sick English at Paris. I! is professional income was large, his prescriptions were simple. The patient could even tell from them the nature of the disease from w h ich he was suffering. Gem became physician lo the embassy at Paris in 1762 on the appointment of the D uke of Bedford as ambassador to France.

For the rest of h i s days Gem was domiciled in that country. H i s was a striking personality, for he was six feet and two or three inches i n height, o f a n athletic build, and when over 7 0 a s upright a s a dart. \Vht:n h e was 82 he was very stout. lie was admitted into the most brilliant society of Paris, becoming very intimate with the E ncyclopreclisls and with many of the leading Englishmen who were admitted to its snlous.

Ben jam in Franklin and Thomas J e fferson were h is intimate friends. A leller from the latter dated New York, 4 April, 1790, is in [J. Wright' s ] " Biog. Memoir of Huskisson," p p . 8-9, a n d a second letter to h i m is in " J efferson's Memoir and Correspondence " (eel. T. J . Randolph), i i i . 32.

Sterne in 1766 wrote to Dr Jemm of Paris i ntroducing [John] Symonds to him, and giving details o f his winter i n I taly. Mr W. L. Cross in h is " Life of Stcrne " hesitatingl y suggests this to be Dr A. A. Jam me �f Toulouse, who sometimes resided at Paris. I am inclined to think that 1l was Dr Gt:nL IIoracc \\'al]!Ok refers lo h i m in the letters wh ich he

0 1tr Ch rouiclc. 1 21

wrote from Paris i n 1765 and 1766, and George Selwyn received a letter from him i n the former year in wh ich h e inti mated that h e was coming with Baron D'O ibach to dine with Selwyn, and looked forward with pride to " the lwnour of meeting Lord March." He was devoted lo Selwyn, and figmes constantly i n D r Warner's letters to his patron, being playfully clubbed by him as " Roger." V.Tarner sometimes expresses h i s anxiety lest he should be suspected by Gem o f a desire to supplant him i n Selwyn's good graces.

The allusions to Gem by Warner show that he took things seriously. In fact, he said to \Valpole in 1765 : " Sir, I am serious, I am of a very serious turn." He was a rigid discipl i narian and parsimonious, and it was noted as a trait i n his character that he allowed n o eating between breakfast and dinner in the evening. H i s parsimony, however, did not restrain him from acts of k i ndness and generosity. \Valpole, when writing to h i m in April, 1776, describes him as " n o less esteemed for h is professional knowledge than for his k ind attention to the poor who applied lo h i m for medical assistance." Ten years latter (1786) Gem was exerting h i mself i n gelling books for \Valpole. The mother of Wil liam Huskisson the statesman was Gem's favourite niece. She died in 1774 (when V.Tilliam was in h is fifth year) leaving four sons. The f:�thcr married again, when Gem expressed lhe desire that the two elder sons, one of whom was \V illiam, should be assigned to his keeping, and i n 1783 they were allowed to return to Paris w ith h i m ; but their acquaintance with England was maintained by an annual visit w h ich he and lhe two boys pa1d to their native land. To his watchful care and constant encouragement in study were clue the successful training of H uskisson's abilities and the strain o f enlightened thought wh ich was conspicuous i n his political career. I t i s generally said that the future politician was intended for the medical profession, and that h e actually began lhe study of medicine. But through the influence o f Warner, then Chaplain to lhe English embassy, he was introduced to Lord Gower, and thus secured a n opening into the highest circles o f political life, w h i c h resulted i n a lasting alliance with Canning, and a leading place i n that statesman's Cabinet. (See my " Eight Friends of the Great," where the name in incorreclly printed Robert Gem.)

Gem was a staunch republican, and was in complete sympathy with lhe French Revolution. Even the brilliant victories of Bonaparte did not shake his faith i n republican principles. He was doubtless the " Ghym anglais " who i n 1792 presented 1,000 francs to the Patriotic Fund ; but this did not prevent h is arrest i n 1 793 as a h ostage for Toulon, when h i s name appears i n t h e police records a s " Gesme." For n i n e clays h e was clelainecl at the Luxembourg, and was then transferred to lhe Scotch Colkgc. After a short release, probably under the decree of 3 Novem be1·, 1793, exem pting, on account of the scarcity of doctors, foreign practitioners �rom. impri sonment, he was reatTested by lhe authorities of Versailles and un�nsoned in the Recollets. Here he found himself i n the same room '�ith Grace Dalrymple Ell iott (" Dolly the tal l "), who says that h e was �onsc1ous " that he ran n o risk of being m urdered, for h e was a phi los�pher, and I am sorry to say an atheist." Still the restraint repressed � � 118 sph·its, and l\1rs Ell iolt, in November, 1796,

'repealed lo Harris that 1 1e cncd lhe whole time, was terrified to death . " This clever woman , t��"'7,ver, was incon sistent i n her tecollections. She told Lord Malmesbury . at no can dles were allowed them or fire a rter it was dark " ; but her JOurnal records that Gem used lo get'

She chcl many kind offices for the doctor, endeavounng to clnve ·l\�ay his gloom, and by her representations tu the deputy that her fellow � 1 1.soner was a sincere republican obtained h i s release after a detention of ,�1 c� or four months. They wept at parting in the expectation that they ou cl never Sl'e one another again ; but h�;;r fn:..:dom came also i n lime.

Gem had rooms for years in the Rue St Sepulcre at Paris, even down lo 1 796 ; but h is home seems to have been at Meudon, and w h en Grace E l l ioll came out of prison he used every clay to walk a mile to see her. She was i n h i s company the day before h e died.

\i\Then James Harris, the first Earl of Malmesbury, went to Paris in October, 1 796, to negotiate terms of peace, h e ca!led o n Gem, and next day (9 November) the doctor repaid the ca!l, w h en Harris summed up somewhat harshly h i s character : " Atheist, sysleme de la nature, economist, &c.-the cold apathetic scoundrel described by J3urke." Gem breakfasted with h i m on 1 5 November, and when one of the secretaries, Leveson, afterwards Earl Granvi!le, four clays later became i ! l , h i s assi stance was ca!led for. For h i s services on t h i s occasion h e refused to take any fees. He breakfasted w ith the ambassador on 2 December, " always harping on his p h i l osophy " ; and on 20 December dined there with H enry Swi nburne, who swe!ls the chorus of his praise as " a very good physician " (Swinburne, " Courts of Europe," 1 8+1, ii. 132, 1 58, 1 8+, 209).

It is said in rile Molltltly J1Iagazirre that Gem was so upset by H uskisson's change of political opinions as to disinherit h i m , but that under Malmesbury's in nuence h e altered h is w i l l and restored his nephew to his favour. Certain it i s that h i s w i l l was made at th is elate, and under Malmcsbury's cognizance, for it i s elated 9 October, 1 796. and witnessed by Malmesbury, Granville Leveson Gower (Lord Granville), and George E !l is of " The Roll iad " and other works. He appointed \Vil l iam H uskisson, " son of my n iece E lizabeth H uskisson, deceased," his executor, giving h i m and his heirs " all m y real estate i n Bromsgrove," and making h i m t h e residuary legatee (which included a mortgage o n H ayley ' s estate o f Eartham i n Sussex), but subject t o t h e fol lowing legacies :-

1. " To 1\Iarie Cleine, now in my service at Paris, SOl a year for l i fe." 2. To Samuel H uski sson, brother of the aforesaid \V'i l l iam, 1 ,5001. 3. To Sarah, Elizabeth, Jane, Marie, and Richard Rotten, " ch ildren o f

m y nephew Samuel Rollon, deceased," 1,0001 each. Gem died suddenly i n Paris early in the spring of 1 800, at the age

of 83, " undisturbed by any of the i n firmities w h ich so generally embitter the last years of protracted l i fe." H is w i l l was proved on 6 May, 1 800, and the estate was sworn at 10,0001.

W. P. COUHTNEY.

A correspondent sends u s the fol lowing notice of Edmoncl Kelly (see Eagle, xxxi, p. 87) from " Th e Columbia University Quarterly," for December, 1 909.

Edmond Kelly, A.B. 1870, A.M. and LL.B. 1 877, died at h is home on North Mountain, Nyack, on October 4, 1909. M r Kelly had obtained most o f his school education in England, and h e returned to Europe soon after graduation. Most of his active l i fe was spent i n the practice of the law i n Paris ; but, at different intervals, h e lived in the United Stales and made h i mself a factor in our American l i fe, both at the Bar and in the activities o f a good citizen. The City Club of New York i s the direct outcome of h i s e fforts to provide an agency which should be permanent for the betterment of civic conditions in New York City. This i s only one of the several movements for the benefit of h i s fellowmen w h ich origi nated i n his fertile and active brain.

For the last two or three years he had made his home upon a farm at Nyack, N. Y., and had t h rown h imself with characteristic energy i nto �he e ffort to educate public opinion i n the state to the point of establislung one or two labor colonies, such as have shown themselves useful i n some of the European countries. H is death is a distinct loss to the go'!d citizenship of our time. As a college student he was ful l of interest 1 1 1 evt:rything that was going on, and could be counted upon to lake part 1n

Our Chronicle. 1 1 3

anyth ing that interested the student body. Although trained so largely abroad, and living so much of h i s l i fe on the other side of the ocean, he never lost h is i n terest in Columbia. His classmates who knew him best will be among those who mourn his death the most.

Edmond Kel l y was known in his l i fetime through h i s distinguished professional activity and h i s unselfish service as a good ci t izen ; h e will be remembered as the author of books, that have not yet received all the recognition t h at i s their due, and that they w i ll enjoy when the grain of American l iterary work o f h is generation has been rescued from t h e mountains o f " best selling " chaff i n which it i s n o w lost. An inlclleclual modesty that seemed almost l i k e a cmious t imidity, by contrast with the vigor of his ideas, forbade l\Ir Kelly to claim for h i msel f a place among the n i neteenth century p h i losophical writers on evolution, but it will be accorded him when his work i s critically est imated and placed i n its relation to the achievements o f other men who attained more notoriety. Jle had a strange shrinking from acknowleclging his productions. M uch of h i s best work appeared anonymousl y ; the public has read and is st i l l reading remarkable th ings from h i s pen without a suspicion of their authorship. I l was with great difficulty that h e was prevailed upon to " own up " to h i s early book on " Evolution and effort," w h ich was acknowledged b y the Po}>ttlar Scieucc JIIorr /!tly, then completely com mitted to the Spencerian views of things, to be the most tel l ing at tack upon the laissez fa ire deduction from evolutionist principles that had been made in any quarter. The main ideas o f that book were elaborated and clinched i n the two large volumes on " Government or h uman evolution," and were concrtlely applied i n a practical fashion in the unsigned book, ' A \Vorkingman's program." In all o f these books w e find clear

thin king, a weallh o f in formation on a great variety o f subjects, and a ft:licitous style. The principles o f evolution are firmly grasped. The fact that natnral selection through the struggle for existence creates inequality is presented i n every light. The tendency o f spontaneous social evolution to supplement natural by artificial inequality i s clearly demonstrated, and then the thesis is offered and splendidly deiended that justice i s not, as the !a issez fa ire economists and the Spenccrians have contended, a rewarding of every man according to h i s performance, but consi sts i n o ffsetting natural and artificial inequalities by great and beneficent equali tics consciously created by human e ffort, working t h rough t h e mslitulions of government a n d law. Edmond Kelly w a s n o t the only thoughtful m;Jn of his generation to arrive at this p h i losophy ; but h e was the one who set it forth with the precision of analysis and t h e charm of word that l inger in men's m i nds, and so l ive on.

Balcman Pairs. Only two pairs entered for this event because the majority

of the First Boat were ordered a rest between the May Races and practice at Henley, and the Pairs had to be rowed off at this time. The draw was as follows :-

Hen ley Regalia. Mention must be made here of this important e\·ent.

It is the first time that a crew has been since 1907, and we hope that the real benefit derived from practice and experience Lhere will make itself evident throughout the year. An account of the visit appears below.

Long Vacation. The Bedford Regatta, held on July 1 4th, again afforded

the few members who were up for the " Long " the opportunity for a pleasant expedition.

A Four with B. L. \Valson (bow)

2 J. H . Cole 3 H. C. Evans

L. A. Alien (sir.) E. Davis (cox)

was entered for the Maiden Fours, going into training a fortnight before the Regatta-a very strenuous effort for over-taxed Long Vacation workers. At the Haces lhe crew won their first heat-against a Four from the Bedford l�.C.-by an easy length and a half, but were beaten in the final by the Nottingham Britannia crew. A poor start by our crew gave the Nottingham boat a lead of a length, which they retained throughout the course, fmishing a length and a hal f ahead.

R. F. Donne represented the L.M.B.C in both the Senior and J unior Sculls, losing to S. R. Wells of the Bedford R. C. i n the former. In the Junior Sculls Donne, who was drawn against the winner of the first heat, C. H. Charleton of St Catharine's College, and was st:ulling well, unfortunately fouled half way over the course. Both boats, however, got

away together again, and, though Donne steadily drew away

and finished ahead, Charleton was declared the winner i he also won the final.

The Cambridge Regatta followed shortly after the Bedford,

and once more the dauntless " Long Vacation crew " set out

Our Chronicle. 125

to seek adventure and " pots " i n home waters. By this time the crew were in complete harmony with their ship, though this proved disastrous to their fortunes in the Junior Clinker Fours, for which they entered. There was some discord when, at the last moment, i t was found that boats were supplied for the races. The parting with their own ship proved too much for our crew, for in the preliminary heat they did not row with their wonted spirit, and they lost in the J1rst heaL

Treasure and adventure, however, still beckoned our representatives onward, and this time with no unkind band, for in the " Scratch Eights ' ' the winning boat was stroked and bowed by L .M.B.C. men. I n the final they were led by another . boat with one of our men at stroke, but they considerately upset j ust before the post.

Co:r:swamless Fours.

Owing to Henley, the prospects of the Four were much brighter than they had been for the past few years. Practice was started on October 4th by the following crew :-

R. F. Donne (bow) 2 W. P. Docld 3 C. G. Carpenter

R. S. Clarke (sir.)

Several changes were subsequently made i n the order and composition of the crew, which finally settled down to

H. E. Chastency (str.) Mr Bushe- Fox and L. A. Allen undertook the coaching.

The Races were on October 2nd and 5th. I n the first round we drew the Trinity Hall Four, the winners of the " Visitors " and " Wyfold " Fours, ai).d were beaten with a fair margin. Pearson and vVright Swlls.

There were four entries for this event, which was rowed off the week after the Fours. I n the heats R. S. Clarke beat W. P. Dodd and J. H . Cole beat H. Parker. I n the final Clarke won easily in good time. Co!qu!toun Sculls.

These Races look place the week ending Saturday, November 1 9th. There were ten entries, but unfortunately �one of these were representatives of the L.M.B.C. The �nal Was won after a splendid race and a very close finish by · E. Swann, who beat C. M. Stuart by a bare second. Both competitors belonged to Trinity Hall.

HENLEY, 1 91 0.

Since this year's crew was a liltle above the average, and,

as six of the men were in all probabil i ty staying up another

year, it was suggested that i l would be an excellent Lhing for

the crew to go to Henley. There was, however, much dis

cussion, but at last, when the College had responded Yery

generously to the request for funds, and C. J. V\1. Henslow

and C. L. Holthouse hacl promised their services, i t was

decided that the crew should go. L. G. Crawford, of past L.M.B.C. fame, was received

as cox, but, as he was unable to come for the first ten clays,

R F. Donne undertook his dut ies, and displayed considerable

skill, though when asked one clay to cox the Leancler Eight

he modestly reiusecl. On the evening of our arrival the Four was got out in the

following order :-C. G. Carpenter (str . ) , R. S. Clarke, C. L.

Holthouse, R. F. Donne (bow), and continued so until Mr

Bushe-Fox arrived, when Carpenter Look Holthouse's place

at (2) and C. J. W. H enslow came in at stroke. The Eight which was got out on the arrival of Henslow

was in the following order :-Parl,er (bow), Docld, Holthouse,

Russell-Smith, Henslow, Clarke, Carpenter, Chasteney (str.),

Donne (cox), and continued so, with the exception of the cox,

until j ust before the Races. We soon got into the full swing of training, and, under

Kirby's watchful eye, went up in weight ; stroke, before the

Races, actually scaling 9st. 2lbs. Punctually at seven each

morning our slumbers were disturbed by violent battering on

the doors, which continued until satisfactory answers were

given. At 7. 1 0 we proceeded to the river for the morning

clip and upon our return were quite ready for a good " training "

breakfast at 8. After breakfast the papers, containing the

accounts of the previous clay's rowing, were interesting, and

there was a general " slack " until 1 0.30, when we went clown

to the river for the first part of the clay's work. The Eight

usually went out first for about an hour, and then after a few

minutes' rest the Four went for a short trip, while the rest

ran along the tow-path . On reaching " Longlands " again

we were quite ready for lunch, and always made a hearty

meal. During the afternoon sleep was the favourite occupa

tion, though the cox and indeed the coach each did their

best to keep us awake by organizing wheel-barrow and stilt

races, gyrasticking, cocldighting, and the like. At 4 o'clock

our stern coach allowed a cup of tea and a biscuit each , and

at about 5 o'clock we again set out for the river. We had

had about enough of it by tbe time the two afternoon outings

were over, and it was with weary though eager footsteps

Onr Chro11icle. 127

thal we trudged home to dinner. After dinner, if the weather was fine, the more vigorous went for a walk and the rest reclined in the punt. We usually returned home at about 9 o'clock and then whiled away the rest of the evening with music and bridge. Chasteney proved himself to be a most accomplished pianist, and Crawford's recitations added brilliance to the evenings.

On Sundays most of us were content with a ten-mile walk, but Henslow went in seriously for bell-ringing as well, to make sure of getting plenty of exercise. Captain Douglas Jones, an old Johnian, very kindly entertained the crew to a training lunch on the Saturday before the Races.

It was most unfortunate that Hollhouse was unable to row in the Regatta. He developed boils on his hands, which got steadily worse until, j ust before the Races, he was ordered by the doctor not to row. This necessitated Donne rowing bow side in the Eight and stroke side in the Four, and very creditably he performed his task.

The Eight drew a bye on the first clay of the Regatta, and, as the Fours' raciug did not start till the second clay, short trips were taken in the Eight and Four.

On the second clay the Four beat B.N.C. , Oxford, fairly easily. Going up steadily from the start, a two lengths' lead was obtained opposite Fawley, and this was held till the finish.

The last race of the clay was a heat for the " Ladies Plate " between us and St John's, Oxford, and it will be a long time before any of us forget it . At the start St John's went up a l ittle and at the quarter-mile post were half a canvas up. At the half-mile they had slightly increased their lead, but from this point we held them and at the three-quarter post they were only leading by a few feet. At the mile we were dead level. We continued to go up steadily, and 200 yards fro.m the finish we had a: quarter of a length lead. At this POll1t the St John's stroke made a fine spurt, and they began to creep up again . This t ime we were unable to shake them off, and, although we were leading at the Press-box, only a few yards from the finish they just managed to get in front and won by J-ive feet. It was a really good race ; but surely we are j usti fied in saying that the result might have been chfferent had Holthouse been at " 3 " instead of Donne, who �ad 0

�1ly been two days in the .b?at, and who �as rowing o

_w srd� after he had been prachsmg for a fortmght on the str oke srcle in the Four. On the third clay the Four met Balliol, Oxford, in the semr-final for the " Visitors Cup " We got rather a bad start and did 11 t 1

· · ' · 1 1 U o row near y so well as on Lhe previOus oay, w1t 1 le result that Balliol got a length's lead, which they kept

all the way. So ended our racing, and we had to watch others fight out the various events.

The hearty thanks of the Club are due to Mr Bushe-Fox for once again going with the crew to Henley and acting as coach, and also to C. J . W. Henslow, C. L. H olthouse, and L. G. Crawford for their invaluable assistance there.

The crew received welcome visits, while at " Longlands," from Mr Benians, M. Henderson, M. Penfold, and L. A. Allen.

THE LONG VACATION CRICKET CLUB.

The Long Vacation Cricket Team had a very pleasant, though somewhat strenuous, season. Twenty-three matches had been arranged, and as little help was forthcoming from Old Johnians, it was highly creditable that only one match had to be scratched for want of a team. L. H . K. BusheFox, A. Chapple, and A. C. Pilkington all gave valuable

assistance, but unfortunately the calls of the Long Vacation Lawn Tennis Club prevented any of them from assisting at all regularly. In consequence of this, the side was not

strong on paper, but _it almost always managed to give a

good account of itselt. E. K. Quick, A. Watkins, W. A.

Darlington, F. Northorp, an.d T. W. Watson all played

0 nr Chrollicle. 1 29

regularly with unfailing success, while E. J . Y. Brash and G. D . Read, who were only a\'ailable on Saturdays, made a welcome addition to our strength in some of our more important fixtures. The bowling was unfortunately not up to the batting, and did not always receive sufficient support from the field, but A. Watkins, T. W. Watson, and E. E. Raven showed unfailing perse\'erance, and deserved beller success. Throughout the cricket was always keen and enjoyable. The match against Pembroke was a delightful triumph . By means of useful bowling by G. D. Read and E. E. Raven, we dismissed our opponents for 1 45, and then a really excellent innings of 1 1 0 not out by E. J. Y. Brash, assi sted by a useful performance by E. K. Quick, gave us a ten wicket victory. Both the College Dons and the t:lervants gave us enjoyable games, though in both cases we succeeded in winning fairly easily. The Mission match produced some most interesting cricket, and though at one time we looked l ike having to admit defeat, we eventually succeeded in making a fairly even draw of it.

LONG VACATION TENNIS.

On the whole we had a very successlul time. Against other Colleges we won n ine matches, and lost four ; three matches were scratched. We were very badly beaten, on August 1 1 th, by the H igh Table, but this might have been expected, because the greater part of the Long Vacation VI . came from the H igh Table, and returned there to eat Hall after every match. A great many members of the College played for us at odd times, but the regular " six " (or rather " seven ") were photographed. This was clone to please one of us in particular, who was not quite happy about i t even then. He wanted us to be dressed in linen collars-and we stuck at that !) The victims were-L. H . K. BusheFox, A. C. Pilkington, A. Chapple, P. H . Winfielcl, V. C. Bodclington, J . H. Parry, and R B. Odgers. The last-named acted as Secretary, in the absence of anyone with better claims to the post.

Perhaps the most striking feature of the Season "\vas the Tournament. This function aroused much keenness, a good deal of interest, and a little tennis. There were two events-Handicap Singles and Scratch Doubles, in which the winners drew fresh partners after each round from amongst themselves. In the 11nal of this P. H. vVinfield and L. A. Alien beat E . A. Benians and H. Dutton, S-6, 6-0, 6-4. L. A. Alien won the Handicap Singles, beating A. Watkins in the final. The latter was scratch, and L. A. Allen received half l1fteen. ( In this connection it may be added that A. Chapple owed half forty, and S. B. C. Ferris received thirty) .

We have great 11Dpes that th is will have discovered one or two tennis players who will make themselves useful next summer-they are very badly needed. List of fixtures :-

RuGBY FooTBALL C LuB.

This season shows a marked improvement in the team as a whole, but more especially in the forwards. Though up to the present fewer matches have been won tban last year, yet the points scored against the team have been lessened to a great extent. Tl:e team only se�ms really

. to rise to the occasion when play1ng a stronger s1de, but falls when there is a distinct chance of winning.

There i s a lack of clash and energy as much in the backs as in the forwards, especially in the latter in regard to following up after a kick. Again, when the opposing team aets the ball the forwards do not make for the corner flag �nough and so support the backs in ddence. They are good in the loose, dribbling fairly well, but they should learn to heal quicker in a tight scrum. The three-quarters, however, appear more in their element in defence than in attack, usually failing to grasp their opportunit ies for scoring.

The Freshmen have proved disappointing, only twonamely, D. Foster and F. D. Adamson-securing places in the team.

Colours have been awarded to F. Kidd and D. Foster.

AssociATION FooTBALL CLUB. We must, unfortunately, begin by repeating our wail of

last year. There i s again a lack of promising and useful material among the Freshmen . However, the stalwarts of the third year have come up to scratch, and we can record several meritorious victories.

We opened the season with a creditable draw against C<1.ius. But in the next two matches we were badly defeated by Queens' and Clare. The defence was disorganised and the forwards quite i neffective, G. D. Read being greatly missed. In the next game we put up a good fight against Pembroke, tbe defence having settled down. The backs played a good game, but the attack was still powerless . However, the three following games we won off the reel , though handicapped by the loss of the valuable services of our . captain. The forwards played magnificently, especially agall1st Queens', in which match we were without two of our regular half-backs, though the reserves played quite a sound gal11e. After these victories we were unfortunate in still betng below full strength, when we met teams which are tet:haps our most dangerous opponents, both Pembroke and al lls winning after really good games. 0 !he .forwards have been erratic, though brilliant at times. ur clue£ strength has been in our two backs. We have

1 32 Our Chroniclt.

been unfortunate in losing the services of C. B. Thompson and H . Chell when most needed, and also of G. D. Read among the forwards. But with a full side next term we ought to do really well.

In 1 900, during the war, the strength of the Company was over a hundred men. This term sees it again in the same flourishing condition , owing to the military ardour the Freshmen have shown and the u nDagging efforts of the College Recruiting Agency.

In spite of H is Majesty's feeling towards a few members of the Company, sixty of those who made themselves efficient in Camp last June still remain. To these have been added forty more, consisting of thi rty-six Freshmen and four of other years-one a repentan t ilfth year man : thus there is an increase of sixteen on the numbers of last year.

All ranks did their best to make the Annual Training a great success, which was made somewhat difficult by the rather clamp conditions. The Company, which was seventynine strong in Camp, is to be congratulated on its splendid six-foot guard, which was a tower of strength on the side of law and order during the last night under canvas ; while Private H. W. Tocld is to be congratulated on winning the bronze medal for the smartest tent in the Company.

This term the different sections have been again made up, roughly with a view to making Section I. consist of Rowing men, while Section I I . is chiefly made up of " Rugger " men . Section I l l . is composed of those who play Cricket and " Soccer," and Section IV. employs the gentlemen of leisure. All these Sections are very ably commanded by the four Sergeants. who are themselves assisted by probably the best N.C.O. 's the Company has ever had.

The work clone this term has been more than usually strenuous, a high percentage of the total strength always turning out for the two field-days and three n ight-attacks, the last of which was the most interesting. On this clay the Company paraded at 2 p.m. , i n 1 st Court, with bicycles, and, after various accidents caused by a motor car charging through the ranks repeatedly, arrived at Hauxton to dig trenches, which they were to use in the evening in the defence of a bridge built by the Engineers. Tea was to have been served, but unfortunately ran short, so the men were marched into Hauxton and billeted in the local "hotels," where they were provided with beer and bread and cheese during the hour preceding the operations.

Sergeant R. U. E. Knox, late Commander of Section I l l . ,

is to be congratulated on being put i n charge of " A " Co., on promotion to 2nd Lieutenant.

Over seventy parishioners from the Mission in Walworth visited us on August Bank Holiday. Fortunately the.weather was fine, and so enabled the usual programme to be carried out. Lunch and tea were supplied in Hall. I n the morning many took the opportunity of going up the Chapel Tower. The cricket match in the afternoon between the Mission and the College proved most exciting, and ended in a drawn game. The " Backs " were a great attraction to many ; and

special thanks are clue to those members of the College who

kindly rowed the visitors abont on the river.

Oitr Chronicle. 1 37

A large gathering of past and present Johnians and Cranleighans assembled at the Mission for the Harvest Festival . The sermon was preached by the Bishop of Southwark. In the unavoidable absence of the Master, Professor Mayor took the chair at supper, and among the other speakers were the Bishop, the Headmaster of Cranleigh School, Mr How, and the Vicar. I n every way i t was a most successful gathering.

The Rev P. T. Martin will be leaving the Mission after Christmas for work in India. His two years' hard work in \Valworth has been very mnch appreciated both by the parishioners and by those of us who have stayed at the l\�ission . His departure will leave the staff under full strength once more.

We hope that more members of the College will be able to find time to go and see the Mission in the Vacation, and, if possible, to stay for a few clays. Any information as to i ts whereabouts will be gladly given by C. C. Gale, B. Moody, or E. E. Raven.

We have to thank Cranleigh for a most successful Boy's Camp, held in August at Rye, under the management of the Rev C. L. Holthouse and a few friends of the Mission .

Enthusiasm for debate has not grown cold. There have been times when the half-stifled yawn of the President has declared that there is one, at any rate, who would be well pleased to see the enthusiasm abate. But the subjects for chscussion were well chosen, so that the Committee were rarely permitted to reti.re to their coffee till the small hours of the morning. The first year have brought much debating talent, and in their numbers have poured their shekels into the Society's coffers. We were very pleased to welcome Pembroke College Debating Society, and to find ourselves :llmos.t ll l�animously agreed as to the advisability of explosively <\llluhi!atmg the H ouse of Commons.

NOTES FROM THE COLLEGE RECORDS.

(Colltinued jro111 p. 32.)

liE commence this instalment with a selection of early letters preserved in the College.

The first is a letter from Adrian (or Hadrian) de Castello, a Roman ecclesiastic who was

successively Bishop of Hereford (1502) and of Bath and Wells; a notice of him will be found in the Dtdiona?y of Natzonal Biogmphy. It is in fact a letter re-introducing to Bishop Fisher a Bishop about to visit England. He probably took the title of his See from the town of Cansero, near Cremona, in Italy, though it would appear that there were Bishoprics of the same title in Macedonia and Dacia.

The other letters give us a glimpse of what was going on within the newly founded College, not perhaps Very much, but still of interest.
