These questions sorely exercised the school, and made them await eagerly the announcement of the result. The news came at last. "I have just received," said Mr Jellicott that morning, when the Fifth and Sixth were assembled together in the lecture-theatre "I have just received from the examiners the report on the Waterston examination.
The idea, then little noticed, had been revived about a century later by William Herapath, and again with some success by J. J. Waterston, of Bombay, about 1846; but it gained no distinct footing until taken in hand by Clausius in 1857 and by Clerk-Maxwell in 1859.
Less demonstrably, but scarcely less surely, Mr. J. J. Waterston, who attacked the problem in 1860, erred in the opposite direction.
She always managed to have at her side the best gunners when the real battle began. In the East Cambridge skirmish, she had Rev. Robert C. Waterston, Dr. Samuel G. Howe, and Charles Sumner.

"The Waterston Exhibition, our readers will be glad to hear, has been won and won brilliantly by Oliver Greenfield, now of the Sixth. No fellow in Saint Dominic's deserves the honour better."
