Obituary Notices of Fellows deceased. 



Mastership of which he had recently been called, and with the Society 

 through which he had published much of his scientific work. Near 

 the end, while conscious that he had not long to live, he retained 

 his faculties unimpaired ; only during the last few hours he wandered 

 slightly, and imagined that he was addressing the undergraduates of 

 his College, exhorting them to purity of life. He died on the first 

 of February, 1903. 



Clear mind, strong heart, true servant of the light, 

 True to that light within the soul, whose ray 

 Pure and serene, hath brightened on thy way, 

 Honour and praise now crown thee on the height 

 Of tranquil years. Forgetfulness and night 

 Shall spare thy fame, when in some larger day 

 Of knowledge yet undream'd, Time makes a prey 

 Of many a deed and name that once were bright. 



Thou, without haste or pause, from youth to age, 

 Hast moved with sure steps to thy goal. And thine 

 That sure renown which sage confirms to sage, 

 Borne from afar. Yet wisdom shows a sign 

 Greater, through all thy life, than glory's wage 

 Thy strength hath rested on the Love Divine.
