[ Note added December 23, 1887.] 
Since the above notice was written, Professor Tait has reminded 
me of the name of Dr Perry, late Bishop of Melbourne, as that of 
a Senior Wrangler, who, like Bishop Cotterill, had also taken a 
high place in the Classical Tripos ; and my friend and relative, the 
Rev. Dr Luard, Registrary of the University of Cambridge, has, 
at my request, furnished me with a list of the most interesting 
examples of double honours taken at Cambridge between the years 
1753 and 1854. I pass over those who did not win the highest 
place in one of the two departments (though it contains many 
names of students who rose to celebrity or high station in after 
life), and confine myself to a selection from the list of Senior 
Medallists, Senior Classics, or Senior Wranglers. 
Among the Senior Medallists, who were also very high 
Wranglers, may he named Craven (afterwards Master of St 
John’s), 1753 ; Halifax (Bishop of St Asaph), 1754; Law (Bishop 
of Elphin), 1766 ; Law (Bishop of Bath and Wells), 1781 ; (Arch- 
deacon) Wrangham, 1790; Maltby (Bishop of Durham), 1792; 
Tindall (Chief Justice), 1799 ; Grant (Lord Glenelg), 1801 ; Parke 
(Lord Wensleydale), 1803; Blomfield (Bishop of London), 1808; 
Graham (Bishop of Chester), 1816; Hugh James Rose, 1817; 
Ollivant (Bishop of Llandaff), 1821. 
Among the Senior Classics (some being also Senior Medallists) 
who were very high Wranglers, were (Professor) Selwyn, 1828; 
(Professor) Westcott, 1848; J. B. Liglitfoot (Bishop of Durham), 
1851. 
Of the four Senior 'Wranglers, who have also been Senior 
Medallists, only two became subsequently eminent — Kaye (Bishop 
of Lincoln), 1804, and Alderson (Baron of the Exchequer), 1809. 1 
The other Senior Wranglers who have been high in the Classical 
Tripos (since its institution in 1825) have been comparatively few; 
and Henry Cotterill appears to stand alone in combining 'with the 
Senior Wranglership, and a high place in the Classical Tripos, the 
position of First Smith’s Prizeman.
