study during my third year, as will be mentioned 

 farther on. At a later date I found myself his 

 colleague as Joint Secretary to the British Associa- 

 tion, but his health had by then declined and his 

 fine intellect begun to fail. I never had a tutor 

 whom I reverenced and loved so entirely as 

 Hopkins. 



It was early in my second year that I entered 

 into a close friendship with two Etonians. The one 

 was Henry Fitzmaurice Hallam (1 824-1 850), the 

 younger son of the historian Henry Hallam ( 1 777 

 1859) and brother to Arthur Hallam (181 1-1 833), the 

 subject of Tennyson's In Memoriam. The other 

 friend was F. Campbell, the eldest son of Lord 

 Campbell (1 779-1 861), then Lord Chief-Justice, and 

 afterwards Lord Chancellor. F. Campbell became 

 in later years, through succession, Lord Stratheden 

 and Campbell. I owe much to each of these fast 

 friends, but in different ways.

 attractiveness of manner, with a love of harmless 

 banter and paradox, and was keenly sympathetic 

 with all his many friends. He won the Second 

 Chancellor's Medal. Through him I became intro-

 sudden death of his son Arthur and of a daughter. 

 Mr. Hallam was very kind to me, and the friendship 

 of him and of his family was one of the corner-stones 

 of my life-history. I met many eminent persons at 

 his house. Harry Hallam, like his brother and sister, 

 died suddenly and young, to my poignant grief. His 

 death occurred while I was away in South Africa. 

 I have visited the quiet church at Clevedon where
