Overview

Excerpt from Memorials in Verse and Prose He went to the University of Glasgow in October, 1846, and there he made life-long friendships with William Ramsay, Professor of Latin, and Edmund Lushington, Professor of Greek. He won the Greek Blackstone Medal in 1849, and finally the Snell Exhibition to Balliol College, Oxford. In October, 1849, he went to Oxford as Scholar of Trinity, but migrated to Balliol when the Snell Exhibition was awarded him. This was the beginning of his friendship with Benjamin Jowett, afterwards Master of Balliol, which lasted till the death of Jowett in 1893. After gaining a second class in Moderations and a first in Greats, in 1853, he was made Fellow and Tutor of Queen's College in 1856, and was ordained by Samuel Wilberforce, Bishop of Oxford. Amongst his pupils at Oxford were Edward Herbert, afterwards murdered by brigands In Greece, and John Percival, Bishop of Hereford, who was for long the honoured Head Master of Clifton College, and whose friendship, as also that of his wife and family, never ceased.
