to consider themselves as debarred from, or out of place at Dinner, which aims at being representative of all years' all interests,

We would specially urge resident members of the to come, as the Dinner is in no way intenged to be to those who have left Cambridge. We would also ask all readers of the Eagle to impress on Johnians, whom they may meet, the necessity of the Dinner. We shall be glad to give further information desired.

The Dinner will this year be held on Thursday, April I at Limmer's Hotel, George Street, Hanover Square, W., 7.30 p.m. The Master has kindly consented to preside. The price of tickets (not including wine) will be each. We hope to arrange a good musical programme to entertainment after the Dinner. Any communication with regard to the arrangement of reaching us not later than April 17th, will be attended to as as possible. Subject to any such co�munication, the will be arranged, as far as may be, with reference to different years. It will greatly facilitate this arrangement, in applying for tickets, the applicants would kindly state years during which they were in residence at St J oh11's.

We remain,

Yours faithfully,

A SONG OF SUMMER.

NOT till the river be dumb and slow Or dried to its sodden bed, Not till the poppy cease to shew

His gaily-tinted head; Not till the tree, which bends to see Itself in the river's course, Be sad and bare, shall I let Despair Bestride with me my horse.

The moss must shun the c;:rumbling wall The ivy must 100se its hold, The rays of the sun must never fall In streams of gorgeous gold; The silver light of the moon by night Must fade from the jewelled sky, And the gentle rain ne'er fall again From out the clouds on high:

Nay, not till every feathered bird Has ceased to wake the morn,

With raptured song of heedless word O'er meadow, lea and lawn, Shall care distraught or anxious thought, E'er present though they be, Disturb the calm of Nature's balm

Or turn my eyes from Thee. XAMO.

FHILIP THOMAS MAIN l\,LA.

On Friday, May 5, at about 5 in the afternoon, after more

than forty years of uninterrupted residence, there passed away

in his rooms, A New Court, one of the best known and most

loved of Ollr academic body.

Philip Thomas Main, so named after his uncles Philip

Kelland of Queens' and Thomas J ames Main of this College,

Senior Wranglers in 1834 and 1838 respectively, was born April 22

184-0 at Greenwich, where his father, the Re-v Robert Main of

Qlleens', sixth Wrangler in 1834, was chief assistant at the

Royal Observatory under Sir George Airy. Notices of uncles

and father will be found in the Dictionary of National Biography,

with lists of their mathematical and other writings. All of them

,\,ere in Holy Orders. Two of them, KeIland and Robert Main,

became Fellows of the Royal Society. All of them held im­

portant scientific posts for many years. Kelland was Professor

of l\lathematics at Edinburgh from 1838 till his death on

l\Tay 7, 1879. He is stated to have been" the first Englishman

of entirely English education who was elected to a Chair in that

University," and to have been " as a teacher unrivalled." He

was, moreover, a University reformer and" took an active part

in the movement which resulted in the ultimate release of the

University from the control of the Town Council." The notice

of him in The Times (May 10, 1879) states that he had himself

ueen appointed by that body. His scientific treatises and

memoirs are very numerous; and, besides discharging the duties

of his own Professorship, he acted for some years as deputy

PrOfessor of Natural Philosophy. Thomas J ames Main (for whom see also Eagle XIV. 103)

became in 1839 Professor of Mathematics at the Royal Naval SChool, Portsmouth. where he taught, acting also as chaplain of H.M.S. Excellent, until October 1873. Canon Griffin, in the notice referred to, writes as follows: "It is not too much to say that he was the originator of the present course of higher studies for officers of the navy." He was joint-author of a
