It was quite plain that his genius lay in the direction of mathematics; and on finishing at Glasgow he was sent to the higher mathematical school of St. Peter's College, Cambridge. In 1845 he graduated as second wrangler, but won the Smith prize. This 'consolation stakes' is regarded as a better test of originality than the tripos.
Though the course of study was still nominally regulated by statutes dating from the Tudor period, which it would often have been ludicrous to enforce, an effective stimulus was given to mathematical studies by the mathematical tripos, which had existed from the middle of the eighteenth century, and to which in 1824 a classical tripos was added.
I think he's weary of the domestic tete-a-tete, or domestic dissension. But he feels his mother's death acutely. It's a wonder that he and his father are not drawn together by their common loss. Roger's away at Cambridge too examination for the mathematical tripos. Altogether the aspect of both people and place is changed; it is but natural!
But Adrian the precious, finnikin Adrian how on earth could he have written this same epoch-making novel? Beyond doubt he was a clever fellow. He had obtained a First Class in the Law Tripos and had done well in his Bar examination. But after fourteen years or so he was making twopence halfpenny per annum at his profession.
John's, Cambridge, became a wrangler in the Mathematical Tripos of 1802. After a year passed in foreign travel Edward Stanley returned home at his brother's request, and took command of the Alderley Volunteers a corps of defence raised by him on the family estate in expectation of a French invasion. In 1803 he was ordained and became curate of Windlesham, in Surrey.
Indeed, his claims could not have been ignored without glaring injustice. He was the Senior Wrangler of his year, and First Smith's Prizeman, and the epithet 'incomparabilis' was attached to his name in the Mathematical Tripos. Isaac Milner's services to the Evangelical cause were invaluable.
So now, Miss Garnett, kindly take the moral to heart, and let me hear no more nonsense about `reviving memories. Your memory needs putting to sleep, so that it may wake up refreshed and active after a good night's rest." And Darsie weakly, reluctantly obeyed. May week followed hard on the Tripos that year, but Darsie took no part in the festivities.
The Fresher made a gesture as if to tear her hair, whereupon the second- year girls groaned in chorus. "Hopeless! Piteous! In last year's Tripos the paper was positively inhuman. The girls said it was impossible even to understand the questions, much less to answer them." "Wicked! Waste of time, I call it.
"I say," began Carter, who was doing the Natural Science Tripos, "what is the adult form of the Pinky Dinky?" But there we were checked by our ignorance of the world. "What is the adult form of any of us?" asked Benton, voicing the thought that had arrested our flow. I do not remember that we ever lifted our criticism to the dons and the organisation of the University.
At Cambridge he had done very well, in the early days of the tripos, and was chosen fellow and tutor of Gonville and Caius College. But tiring of that dull round in his prime, he married, and took to a living; and the living was one of the many upon which a perpetual faster can barely live, unless he can go naked also, and keep naked children.
