248 R. W, Macanthe three points which he made—so simply, with suchobvious sincerity—in replying to the toast of his health?You have praised me (he said in effect) for the successesof my pupils: I can assure you that I have learnt farmore from them than I taught them (and he gave someparticulars). You have thanked me for what I have beenenabled to do for the University: I must confess that Icould have done very little, but for the advice of colleaguesand friends in the University (and he mentionedsome by name). 'And now (he said in conclusion) I aman old man, and my course is well-nigh run: but I amcontent to lay down my burden; for I am convinced thatthere are many younger men in the University willingto serve it, and as capable as any who have ever beenhere; and that we may all look forward with hope andconfidence to the future of the Oxford we love.'With these or such words he ended. And now we toowill leave it at that.
§11Cambridge in the 'SeventiesBy W. E. HEITLANDLOOKING back on Cambridge in the 'seventies of lastcentury I find myself in face of two disquieting thoughts—first, that there are now few able to confirm or correctanything I may say on the subject; secondly, that mymemories, vivid on certain points, are inevitably blurredon other details not less significant. I began the 'seventiesas an undergraduate. After graduating in 1871 and becominga Fellow of St John's College in the same year,I was engaged with private pupils in Term and LongVacation until I was appointed a College Lecturer at theend of 1872. Though deeply interested in the Academicquestions and movements of that stirring time, I couldnot find leisure for taking part in many clubs or societiesformed for discussion of miscellaneous topics. Thereforeany knowledge of advanced views then in vogue amongintellectual cliques reached me mainly through the conversationof friends. I have sometimes thought that inthis way I heard enough. Since those days memoirs ofsome notable characters have appeared. In particular,much light is thrown upon the private history of theUniversity Reform movement in the Memoir of HenrySidgwick. Leslie Stephen's Life of Henry Fawcett recountsthe Parliamentary struggle over the necessarylegislation, and with opportune truth reminds us that aRadical in national politics could be intensely conservative.at a College meeting. So it was; I have heardLeonard Courtney scornfully compared to the Bourbons
