Oxford. He was a brilliant classical See also:scholar, and a famous cricketer and See also:athlete; he was in the Harrow See also:cricket eleven in the first See also:regular matches with See also:Eton (1822) and See also:Winchester (1825), and is credited with bringing about the first Oxford and See also:Cambridge match in 1827, and the first university See also:boat-See also:race in 1828, in both of which he took See also:part. He won the See also:Chancellor's Latin See also:verse at Oxford in 1827, and the Latin See also:essay in 1831, and took a first-class in See also:classics. From 183o to 1833 he had as pupils a number of men (including W. E. See also:Gladstone and H. E. See also:Manning) who afterwards became famous. He then travelled abroad during 1833–1834, and after a See also:year's See also:work as See also:tutor at Christ Church (1834–1835) was appointed second master at Winchester. He had previously taken See also:holy orders, though he only became See also:priest in 1840, and he had a strong religious See also:influence with the boys. In 1839 he brought out his See also:Greek See also:Grammar, which had a See also:great success. In 1846, however, he resigned; and then accepted the wardenship of Trinity See also:College, See also:Glenalmond, the new Scottish Episcopal public school and divinity college, where he remained from 1847 to 1854, having great educational success in all respects; though his views on Scottish Church questions brought him into opposition at some important points to W. E. Gladstone. In 1852 he was elected bishop of St See also:Andrews, See also:Dunkeld and See also:Dunblane, and was consecrated in See also:Aberdeen See also:early next year. He was a strong supporter of the See also:establishment, but conciliatory towards the See also:Free churches, and this brought him into a See also:good See also:deal of controversy. He was a voluminous writer, and one of the See also:company of revisers of the New Testament (1870-1881), among whom he displayed a conservative tendency. He died at St Andrews on the 5th of See also:December 1892. He was twice married, first in 1835 to See also:Charlotte See also:Day (d. 1839), and secondly in 1846 to Katherine See also:Mary See also:Barter (d. 1897). He had thirteen See also:children altogether.
