PREFACE.

The School Register has been singularly fortunate in its Head Masters. If the first edition owed its origin to the late Head Master, Mr. McKenzie, this second edition owes what- ever merits it may possess to the present Head Master, Mr. Budworth. The material collected by him has formed the foundation of the present edition, without which and the returns made by Old Dunelmians themselves, its publication could hardly have been possible. The revision of the lists of Crews, Elevens and Fifteens is his work entirely as well as all that is new in the Appendices.

We desire to acknowledge with grateful thanks the help that has been given us by many Old Dunelmians and other friends. Amongst the former are the Committee ; Walter B. Allan for many Sunderland entries ; J. G. Burrell, A. N. Clark, H. S. Harrison for reading the MS. 1840-1912 and supplying additional information ; the Rev. Charles Green, the late John Trotter (whose last contribution was received only a few days before his death), H. Garenci£res Pearson and Major Strachan-Cameron for interesting material ; the Rev. R. H. J. Poole, Second Master, for his articles on the School Buildings, Mission and Rowing ; Colonel Wauhope, C.B., to whose research we owe the fuller records of many military Old Dunelmians, especially the more distinguished ones of a former generation.

Amongst those who, though not Old Dunelmians, have yet interested themselves in our work, and to whom are due our peculiar thanks are the Bursars of various Colleges at Oxford and Cambridge for lists of entries of Old Dunelmians ; Mr. K. C. Bayley for help and advice ; Mr. J. P. M. Blackett, a present Master at the School, for his article on the History of the School ; the late Rev. W. C. Boulter for permission to draw from “ Athense Dunelmenses ” ; Miss Earle for much

very valuable help with the first as well as with the present edition; the Rev. Canon J. T. Fowler, D.C.L., Vice-Principal of Hatfield Hall, Durham, Colonel J. C. Griffiths, Mrs. Homer (a daughter of Dr. Holden, Head Master 1853-1882) for additions and corrections ; Mr. A. F. Leach for permission to use his sketch of the History of the School ; Mr. J. G. Morris, of Roker, for help with Sunderland entries ; Mr. F. Thompson, the School Drawing Master since 1878, for the two drawings which appear in the present edition, the originals of which he has generously presented to the School ; Colonel Wallace for help with Sports records ; Mr. Cuthbert W. Whitaker, who has repeated the valuable help and advice that, as Mr. McKenzie’s friend, he so kindly gave us with the first edition ; and lastly, but only alphabetically so, Mr. Herbert M. Wood for lists of entries of Old Dunelmians at various Cambridge Colleges.

An historian at the beginning of the seventeenth century writes as follows : “ Ad academiam non accedunt, nisi qui in gymnasiis, scholisque publicis per omnes Angliae provin- ces, immo oppida fermfe, disseminatis (inter quas habentur insigniores Vuintoniensis, Etonensis, Dunelmensis, Londi- nensis) grammaticae, poeticae, latinaeque linguae praecepta imbiberint.”

[Nicolai Fierberti, Oxoniensis in Anglia Academiae descriptio, 1602. Ox. Hist. Soc. 1886.]

Such was the standing of Durham School in the spacious days of great Elizabeth ; and such is the inheritance that we have received from our predecessors : <Lv ov xp'h XeivetrOai, a\\a

PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION.

In putting forth this first edition of the Durham School Register, we must begin with apologies for its shortcomings. These, as will appear, are not entirely due to our fault ; by various circumstances, some of which are mentioned below, the difficulties that always attend the compilation of a School Register have been in this instance greatly increased ; and it has been decided, with the approval of the Committee, to issue this first edition at once, with a full intention of publish- ing as soon as possible a second and revised edition. Any additions or corrections with a view to that end, if sent to the Head Master or Second Master, will be gratefully received.

The enterprise is due to the late Head Master, the Rev. Harry Ward McKenzie, now Head Master of Uppingham School ; and after he left it was taken up by a Committee consisting of the present Head Master, the Second Master, the Rev. J. LI. Dove (whose departure we greatly regret), and the Rev. R. H. J. Poole, O.D., who, with the addition of Mr. H. S. Harrison, O.D., and the present Editors, have brought the work to the point of publication. One result of these changes is that there is no one person who has taken a continuous part in the work from the beginning to the present.

We have also been much hampered by the lack of records. When the School was transferred to its present site, all the old records, except those that were kept by the Dean and Chapter, disappeared or were destroyed, so that we have no lists of entrances previous to the time of Dr. Elder. The existing books only go back to 1840, and for the period before that we have to rely on isolated facts and individual memories. Those who retain any recollections of the Old School on the Palace Green have, with few exceptions, been glad to help us ;

viii Preface to First Edition.

we owe especial thanks to the Rev. W. Brooksbank, O.D., and the late Rev. Canon King, of Oxford, O.D. ; but recollec- tions cannot supply the place of records, and even for the latest periods of the Old School we can get no continuous history.

With O.D.s of later date our chief difficulty has lain in their excessive modesty, which has prevented them from chronicling their own exploits, and has driven us to fill up their records, as far as possible, from other sources.

We have tried as best we could, with the means at our disposal, to meet these difficulties ; we hope in the future to improve the Register, and we are confident that all O.D.s will help us to do so, by sending us corrections and supplying omissions. The merits of this work are those of our helpers and contributors ; the faults, of which we are only too conscious, are our own.

We must give our warmest thanks to the many friends who have given us such kind help and encouragement. We must especially thank Mr. Herbert M. Wood for lists of the entries of O.D.s at Christ’s College and St. John’s College, Cambridge ; we should be very grateful for similar lists from any other colleges ; Mr. G. P. Ramshaw, for much information about Dayboys of past generations ; Mr. J. Chisman, well known to all Durham oarsmen, for helping us to complete our lists of crews ; Mr. K. C. Bayley, for help given with the history and the frontispiece ; Capt. S. M. Rowlandson, O.D., for help with the Chapter Records, given both by himself and by his father, whose recent sudden death gave such pain to all O.D.s ; Canon Fowler, for help in deciphering and compiling the lists of King’s Scholars ; and, most of all, Mr. Cuthbert Whitaker, who has assisted us in many ways, and, like a true friend, has given us most help where help was most needed.

Lastly, we, as Editors, have to express our special gratitude to Mr. McKenzie, who started the Register and has main- tained a lively interest in it ; and to the Committee that succeeded him, for the work that they have done in their scanty leisure, and for the patience and long-suffer- ing with which they have endured our shortcomings and importunities.

This work has been to us a labour of love, and we are proud

to have the honour of associating our names with it. We hope that the Register may prove to be, not only of interest, but also of advantage to the School ; and so we sign ourselves

Since this Preface was printed the plate of Facsimiles of Signatures of King’s Scholars, 1588-1600, has been presented to the Register by the Rev. Canon J. T. Fowler, D.C.L., Vice- Principal of Hatfield Hall, Durham ; and the Editors wish to express their warm thanks to him for the gift. The Editors also desire to thank very heartily Mr. J. P. M. Blackett for the expansion and translation of Mr. Bayley’s transcript of the Frontispiece.

HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL.

— ♦ —

A SKETCH.

Durham School as it exists at present is the foundation of King Henry VIII. of the year 1541. But this was a refounding of the School of Cardinal Langley, who in 1414, as Bishop of Durham, issued letters patent authorizing the foundation of two chantries. The relevant part of his deed directs that the chaplains were to be “ sufficiently advanced and instructed, the one in grammar, the other in song, that one of them can keep school in grammar, the other in song in the city of Durham and sufficiently instruct and inform youths and other untaught persons in such learning.” They were to teach the poor gratis for the love of God, but to take from others moderate fees such as are customary.

The appointment of these two masters was vested in the Bishop. The schools were originally endowed by Langley with £2 a year each, and one of these sums is still paid to the Head Master, who is the lineal successor of the first Grammar School master, William Brown.

Whether Langley’s school was a new foundation altogether is not certain. No evidence has so far been produced proving the existence of a grammar school in Durham before 1414, but by the analogy of certain other Cathedral towns where there were grammar schools under the control of the Bishop, besides purely monastic schools, it is at any rate possible.*

After Langley's death, which took place in 1437, his exe- cutors increased the endowment to £10 yearly, the same as the sum received by the M agister of Winchester.

The Chaplains of the Song School and of the Grammar School were to live together in the same house (manso) assigned them by the Bishop of Durham, and to have forty days’ leave of absence in the year, but never to be absent both

* A charter undated, but about 1218, of Simon of Ferlington, Archdeacon of Durham [1218-19], granted the vill of Kyhow [Kyo by Lanchester] to the House of St. Cuthbert of Durham, for the maintenance of three Scholars in the School at Durham.

at the same time. The usual practice of that time of allowing no holidays to the scholars appears to have been followed here.

There was at this time a Durham College at Oxford (part of the site of the present Trinity College), but the Grammar School seems to have sent Exhibitioners independently to Oxford, e.g., William Ingleby in 1419.

The connection of Langley’s School with Henry VIII. ’s seems to be sufficiently shown by the fact that the last Gram- mar Master of Langley’s foundation was the first Head Master of the new, and retained the House, salary and Schoolhouse of Langley’s. His name was Henry Stafford, and he seems to have been educated at the School.

Henry’s foundation statutes for Durham have disappeared, and the present existing statutes are dated March 20, 1 & 2 Philip and Mary, but repeat, almost word for word, Henry’s statutes for other Cathedrals.

Besides continuing the Song School they provide for “ two masters (informatores) of boys in grammar, one of whom is to be preceptor and the other sub-preceptor, and eighteen boys to be taught grammar. These masters and scholars were to be elected by the Dean and Chapter. The scholars were not to be admitted to the Grammar School after fourteen (special provision was made for choristers). Any boy who showed himself remarkably stupid and slow was to be expelled after patient trial.

The Head Master was “ to know Latin and Greek, to be of good repute, sound faith and pious life, with a faculty for teaching. . . .”

The Second Master ( hypodidascalus sive secundarius infor- mator ) was not required to know Greek. He was to teach the rules of grammar under the Archididascalus.

The statutes do not positively require that masters should be in orders. In many similar Schools they were laymen and married. Neither they nor the boys were required to attend the services.

The boys were boarded as well as taught, dining together in a common hall where the grammar boys, and choristers sat at the third table. The masters and eighteen scholars also got clothes. The Head Master’s stipend was £10, the Second Master’s £6 13s. 4 d., and the scholars got £3 6s. 8d. each. Choristers had a preference for admission to the Grammar School and in fact the Song School was a sort of preparatory to it down to the Civil War, when the Song School apparently ceased. In 1593 by “ orders for the Schoole of Duresme,” the School hours were to be 7 to 11, and 12.45 to 5, and a “ cheif monyter ” was to note down the names of late-comers. These, with other evil-doers, bled for their offences on Fridays.

History of the School.

As to the subjects taught — grammar was perhaps the chief. An “ epistle,” in fact a Latin essay, had to be shown up every week ; orations on some theme had to be composed, learnt, and publicly delivered on Saturdays ; versifying was also practised. Much the same method was adopted for Greek. Writing in “ Greake, Romaine, and Secretarie hands ” was also taught.

Holidays were from December 24 to the day after Twelfth day ; Wednesday before Easter to Monday after Low Sunday ; Wednesday before Whit Sunday to Monday after Trinity Monday. But even during these times the boys had to go twice a day “ to repeate such things as the Schoole maister shall think profitable.”

Of the masters during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries a word may be said. In 1597 came Peter Smart, who fell out with John Cosin (then junior prebendary and future bishop) on the question of ritualistic practices. He attacked these in a Latin poem — he seems to have had a wonderful gift for Latin verse — and from the pulpit. But Laud backed up Cosin, and Smart was fined, deprived and imprisoned by the Court of High Commission, and only in 1641 released by the Long Parliament.

He was followed in 1610 by Thomas Ingmethorpe (the spelling varies) who was a man of similar character and opinions, and similarly punished, but made humble sub- mission.

Nicholas Walton in 1614 seems to have been an “ old Dunelmian,” like his successor, Thomas Miller, who was notorious for his neglect of his duties and too convivial habits.

In 1640, just before the Civil War, the old School buildings of Langley’s time on Palace Green were burnt down by the Scots on their raid into England, and the masters taught where they could, sometimes in the third prebendary’s house by the Guest Hall, sometimes in the first prebendary’s house.

The Headmastership from 1640 to 1663 was held by Elias Smith, who, in spite of his difficulties, seems to have taught with some success. To his pupil John Mickleton we are indebted for much information about the School.

At the restoration— in 1661 — a new Schoolhouse was built, apparently that building at the corner of “ Windy Gap,” which was used till the removal of the School to its present site.

In 1666, Bishop John Cosin made an attempt, happily unsuccessful, to take away the stipend of Langley’s Grammar School master in favour of schools and an almshouse which he had built on the site of Langley’s School.

It was during the seventeenth century, especially the second half, in the time of Thomas Battersby, that the School had,

probably as boarders, many sons of the great families of the northern counties, and sent most members to the Universities, at any rate to Cambridge, and of these many went to St. John’s with which college the School is still connected by the exhibi- tions on the Baker foundation. Perhaps the most notable of these was Thomas Baker, " socius ejectus ” (he was a non- juror), who wrote a history of that college and had a high reputation for antiquarian and historical research.

Rather earlier (1627-56) was John Hall of the same College, who was essayist, pamphleteer, satirist, and accom- panied Cromwell to Scotland. His abilities were highly rated by Hobbes and Wood. He had an objection to exercise, and took down his fat by “ swallowing of pebble-stones, which proved effectuall ” — too “ effectual! ” to judge by his short life.

Another was Matthew Robinson, Fellow of St. John’s, who studied physic, corresponded with Sir Thomas Browne of Norwich, was a parson and an authority on horses.

Towards the end of Battersby’s time, and in that of his successors, of whom Thomas Rudd was an old Dunelmian, the School suffered from the competition of a private school. Money also was falling in value and the stipends were not raised accordingly, so that the deficiency had to be made good by various devices, which differed only in name from charging fees. This pecuniary difficulty seems to have been felt for some time, for there was no Second Master during the time of T. Randall, Branfort, and the beginning of Brit- ton’s time. In fact, during the greater part of the eighteenth century the School was going down. But Britton restored the Second-Mastership and the prosperity and numbers of the School.

The most important Durham School worthies of the century were the following : —

Sir William Browne (1692-1774), who was of Peterhouse, Cambridge, and became F.R.S. and President of the College of Physicians. By his will he founded the medals for Greek and Latin Odes and Epigrams.

Robert Spearman (1703-71) was an eccentric theologian.

Christopher Smart (1722-71) was a Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge, and the first winner of the Seatonian Prize. A somewhat eccentric person, he was twice visited by Dr. Johnson, with whose views on clean linen he agreed.

Of a different kind was Granville Sharp (1735-1813), who, though apprenticed to a linen-draper in London, and in spite of poverty, secured the recognition of the principle “ that as soon as a slave sets foot on English territory, he is free.” He was pamphleteer and scholar as well as philanthropist.

History of the School.

There was also George Walker (1734 (?) -1807) a dissenting divine and mathematician — a man of varied interests.

From the time of Britton to that of Elder there is not very much to record, except that it would be unpardonable to say nothing of James Raine, who became Second Master in 1812. He was a most energetic librarian to the Dean and Chapter, whose records and archives he searched with great diligence. He became the first secretary of the Surtees Society in 1834. After leaving the School he trained a notable old Dunelmian, happily still alive, the Rev. William Greenwell, who has taken all antiquity for his province — British Barrows, Numismatics, Durham Cathedral, to say nothing of inventing “ Greenwell’s Glory ” for the benefit of anglers.

Sir Robert Ker Porter (1777-1842), a painter, chiefly of historical pieces and landscapes, attracted the attention of Flora Macdonald in his boyhood. He was with Sir John Moore at his death, and subsequently travelled in Russia and the East.

Another Old Dunelmian who was with Moore when he received his fatal wound was Viscount Hardinge (1785-1856). He fought in the Peninsular War, and was Governor-General of India from 1844 to 1848.

Prideaux John Selby (1788-1867), who was also at Uni- versity College, Oxford, was well known as a naturalist, especially in ornithology, but also in forestry and entomology.

Edward Bannerman Ramsay (1793-1872), who went to St. John’s College, Cambridge, as Dean Ramsay (of Edin- burgh), is well-known as the author of “ Reminiscences of Scottish Life and Character.” He was associated with Mr. Gladstone in founding Glenalmond. Almost exactly con- temporary was Sir Roderick Impey Murchison, who served under Moore, but retired from the Army and devoted himself to geology.

Ramsay and Murchison were both sons of Scottish " county families,” a class which in the first half of the nineteenth century sent a good many of their sons to schools in this neighbourhood. Many went to Houghton-le-Spring, and some to Sunderland. These were the nearest boarding schools, for there were none in Scotland.

John Graham (1794-1865) was Fourth Wrangler, Chan- cellor’s Medallist, Fellow, Tutor, and Master of Christ’s College. In 1848 he became Bishop of Chester, and in the next year Clerk of the Closet to the Queen, whose friendship and that of the Prince Consort he enjoyed.

Anthony Salvin, of Croxdale (1799-1881), was an authority on mediaeval architecture, and restored and repaired many

buildings. A work by James Raine on Catterick Church was illustrated by him.

In a different line was Robert Smith Surtees (1803-64), who came of an old Durham family. It need only be said that he was the author of “ Jorrocks’s Jaunts," “ Handley Cross,” and other books.

Sir Thomas Sabine Pasley (1804-84) commanded the Flagship of Sir Edmund Lyons in the Crimean War. He became an admiral and K.C.B.

Joseph Stevenson (1806-95) succeeded James Raine as Dean and Chapter Librarian, after several years at the British Museum. He was a historian and archivist.

Sir William Fothergill Cooke (1806-79), in partnership with Prof. Wheatstone, invented the electric telegraph. He seems to have brought energy and business ability to the partnership rather than inventive genius.

Sir Henry Manisty (1808-90) became a judge in 1876.

George Ornsby (1809-86) was F.S.A. and Canon of York, a careful antiquary and friend of James Raine. His brother Robert Ornsby (1820-89) was Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford, became a Roman Catholic and Professor of Greek and Latin in Newman’s Catholic University for Ireland. He also published some religious books.

After those come H. B. Tristram (1822-1906), Canon of Durham, traveller, author, naturalist, and great friend to the School, and his brother, T. A. Tristram (1825-1912) a lawyer and chancellor of several dioceses.

Henry Bond Bowlby (1824-94) was Bishop Suffragan of Coventry.

In 1839 F>r. Edward Elder became Head Master, and the accommodation soon became quite inadequate. He thereupon urged the removal of the School to the present position. The nucleus of the present buildings was a house called Bellasyse (Bel Assise — Fine Seat) in a meadow called Goosecroft.

Of Dr. Elder’s pupils these should be mentioned — John Mitchinson, who was Bishop of Barbadoes, and is now Master of Pembroke College, Oxford ; Mandell Creighton (1843-1901), who was Bishop of Peterborough and London, and a historian ; and Henry Nettleship, Professor of Latin at Oxford, who went with Dr. Elder to Charterhouse.

In 1853 Dr. Elder was succeeded by Dr. Henry Holden, who relinquished the Headmastership of Uppingham to come here. History has since reversed itself. Dr. Holden was succeeded at Uppingham by Edward Thring, who had himself just stood unsuccessfully for the Headmastership of Durham. In 1872 Queen Victoria in Council approved a scheme of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, which provided out of the

7

Chapter revenues a net sum of £ 3,000 a year for the School. This new endowment permitted the addition of library, class rooms, and other buildings. In 1877 six leaving Exhibitions of £60 a year were provided.

Dr. Fearon, who reigned from 1882-84, left a deep and permanent mark at the School, and in Durham. Witness the Fearon path by the river, the addition of two class rooms, museum, and laboratory. In this connection it may be stated that the School, like most others of its kind, has become less exclusively Classical. Since Dr. Fearon’s time the School has undergone minor vicissitudes of fortune, but nothing that calls for special notice.

The notes on celebrities are taken from the “ Dictionary of National Biography,” which served the double purpose of providing the information and setting the standard of fame that would justify mention, and for the rest Mr. A. F. Leach’s article in the Durham Victoria County History has supplied nearly all the information.

SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

— — ♦ —

In 1842 the School was moved from the Palace Green to its present site. A house which stood on the Bellasyse estate was enlarged and adapted for a School House, and was joined to Big School by the Arcade. In 1853 the Sixth Form Class Room and what is now the Fifth Form Class Room were built. New dormitories over these class rooms were added to the School House. In 1862, there were further additions to the School House. The Sanatorium was built in 1870. In 1876 a considerable addition was made to the buildings. These additions included the Library and the class room under- neath it, now used as the Day Boys Common Room. In 1884 the line of the Library was continued by the Chemical Laboratory and Lecture room. Underneath a large room was added as a museum. In 1887 the block of four class rooms which stands on the right of the Drive to the Head Master’s House was opened and Big School was renovated and restored. The block consisting of the Porter’s Lodge and Gymnasium was built in 1899. The Gymnasium was opened in 1900. The block consisting of Music Rooms and Carpenter’s Shop, with the Physical Laboratory above, was opened in 1904. The playground was enlarged in 1883-4, at which time the Swimming Bath was made. New Fives Courts were built in 1908-9.

The Second Master’s House was built in 1847. It was enlarged about 1870, when the Rev. B. C. Caffin was Second Master. Fresh additions were made towards the end of the same decade or the beginning of the next, in the Second- Mastership of the Rev. S. B. Guest-Williams. Further addi- tions were made during the Second-Mastership of the Rev. H. W. McKenzie, towards the end of the last decade of last century. The playground is now being enlarged by the labours of the School and Staff.

SCHOOL MISSION.

In 1886, during the Headmastership of the Rev. J. M. Mar- shall, the School undertook to maintain a Cot in the children’s ward of the Durham County Hospital. This work was con- tinued till 1903. In the summer of that year the Rev. F. C. Macdonald, Vicar of Christ Church, Gateshead, appealed to the School to help him in his large and increasing parish by starting a mission in the district called the Avenues. Mr. Mac- donald’s appeal was suggested to him by the Rev. H. C. Martin, an old Dunelmian, who was at that time curate at Christ Church. The then Head Master, the Rev. A. E. Hillard, was warmly in favour of responding to Mr. Macdonald’s appeal, which was backed by strong letters from the Rector of Gates- head and from the Bishop of Durham.

The Head Master, however, felt that it was for Dunelmians themselves to determine their action uninfluenced by him, and therefore, while expressing his approval and sympathy, he left it to others to bring the matter forward.

On Speech Day, 1903, a preliminary meeting was held. This meeting was quite informal. Old Dunelmians who happened to have come for Speech Day met, and, after con- sidering a rough outline of what was proposed, decided that the question should be submitted to a general meeting of Old Dunelmians. Such a meeting was called together in October, 1903. At this meeting the principal speakers were the Rev. H. Stewart, who was for many years vicar of a Gateshead parish, Mr. S. F. Prest, son of the Venerable Archdeacon Prest, who while rector of Gateshead had built Christ Church, and the late Canon Tristram. The meeting unanimously decided to undertake the work to which Dunelmians had been invited.

It was felt that it was wise to begin modestly. As a start, the School guaranteed to provide £50 a year towards the stipend of an extra curate to work in the Avenues district. The Vicar of Christ Church undertook to provide an iron church as the centre of the work.

There was nearly a year’s delay before the work began, but

10

School Mission.

the iron church was licensed by the Bishop, at an opening service, on September 29th, 1904.

The Rev. J. P. B. Brierley was chosen as missioner. It quickly became evident that the work was meeting a need. A congregation grew up largely composed of men who had not been reached previously by Church ministrations, and a dis- tinct Dunelmian spirit and tradition began to be evident in the members of St. Andrew’s congregation. (The church was dedicated to St. Andrew.)

Old Dunelmians helped in the work by taking offices in the church, by paying visits to the mission, and by assisting in the services and in parochial functions. Some of the staff of the School paid frequent visits to the church, and preached and otherwise assisted. Boys in the School visited the mission, and members of the mission visited the School.

In the early months of 1907, when the work had been in progress for rather more than two years, the Head Master (the Rev. H. W. McKenzie) appointed a commission of four Old Dunelmians to examine into and report on the work. The four Old Dunelmians who undertook this duty were the Venerable Archdeacon Henderson, Dr. Morgan, J.P., of Sun- derland, Canon Owen Carr, Vicar of All Saints, Newcastle, and Mr. H. B. Thompson, solicitor, Newcastle.

This commission went very thoroughly into the work which was being done, and reported that in their opinion the Avenues district was most suitable for the purposes of our School mission. Following a suggestion made by this commission. Lord Northbourne, who had given the site on which St. Andrew’s Church stands, was approached with regard to granting two adjacent cottages for enlargement of the site. After a personal visit to Gateshead, Lord Northbourne most generously gave the cottages and their site. In June, 1908, a building committee was formed to raise money to erect a parish hall, and afterwards a church and club rooms, on this site. In February, 1908, the Rev. J. P. B. Brierley left the mission, and for some months the vacancy thus created was not filled. But in June, 1908, the Rev. R. W. Bell, an Old Dunelmian, was appointed to succeed him. Mr. Bell’s record will be found in this Register. We need only say here that the School and the mission are most fortunate to have secured such a man for the work. In order to get a man of Mr. Bell’s experience and power it has been necessary to increase very largely the pecuniary obligation of Dunelmians. We have no doubt, however, that Dunelmians will not allow the good work which has begun to languish for lack of support. From the first the older generation has been most liberal in help. It rests with the younger generation to support to the utmost of

their ability, a work which is now in Dunelmian hands, and which is capable of bringing much good both to the School and to the parish.

The Rev. R. H. J. Poole, an Old Dunelmian, and one of the masters at the School, holds a title to the parish and assists in the clerical work of the mission.

At the present time (March, 1912), an appeal is being made for funds to build a church for which plans have been prepared by Mr. A. B. Plummer, O.D.

SCHOOL ROWING.

— ♦ —

The rowing record of Durham is so distinguished that it deserves a separate notice in this volume. We need not attempt to trace the history back to its origin in early centuries. It is possible that in those early times “ they learnt in coracles to row ” ; but if they did there was no captain’s log book. The captain’s log book, indeed, is of comparatively recent origin ; as a daily record it only dates back to 1882. We can hardly complain that those who rowed in coracles left us no records ; nor can we fairly complain that, in later times, those who passed an occasional holiday in a hired boat hardly thought the matter worth recording. But we may be allowed to lament that when Durham Regatta was founded in 1834 (five years before Henley, which was founded in 1839), it did not occur to anyone to start a record for the benefit of future generations. We are quite in the dark as to the part played by the School in the early days of the regatta.

Nor does a search through the files of the Durham County Advertiser throw much fight on the subject. The accounts of the early regattas do not give details of the racing, though the fireworks with which the sport ended call forth much pictorial writing. On June 18, 1834, the second day of the first regatta, there was a race at one o’clock for which the Velocity and the Sylph, each with six oars, were entered. The former was the “ property of the High Sheriff of the County, W. L. Wharton, Esq., the latter was the property of the University.” After this, " in consequence of all the gentlemen of the Univer- sity being engaged to dine with the Bishop, the remaining sports were postponed till eight o’clock in the evening.”

The Advertiser gives no names till 1845. In this year the crew of the Ariel, which was the forerunner of the Durham A.R.C., was as follows : T. Shields (str.), F. Greenwell, 3, W. Cunnyghamme, 2, J. Trotter (bow), C. Trotter (cox.).

Of this crew Messrs. Shields and Greenwell were O.D.'s, and the coxswain was a boy at the School at the time. We believe that the same crew had represented the Ariel in two or three previous years. In the Advertiser accounts there is no mention of the School in connection with the regatta till 1847,

School Rowing. 13

when there is a race called “ The Grammar School Plate for two-oared boats.”

The first mention in the Advertiser of a School four is in 1849, when G. Salmon, J. K. Watson, W. King, J. J. Wil- son (str.) and C. R. K. Hubback (cox.) beat the University and won the University Plate.

But the fact that School fours are not mentioned by name does not mean that the School was taking no part in the regatta. The system was to give the names of the boats — the Calypso, the Water Nymph and so on — without the names of the crews.

The name of the Argo, which the late Canon Tristram recollected as the first School four, does not appear in the Advertiser’ s accounts. But it is probable that the School may have had an Argo and that it may have rowed races against the University.

The Rev. Alan Greenwell, O.D., who is entered in the Register as having rowed bow in the first four-oared School crew, which won the Medals against the University at Durham Regatta, says that the first boat was purchased somewhere about 1838.

Of the crew in which Mr. Greenwell rowed, the stroke was Hall. Hall, however, was taken ill, and “ Tom Shields took his place.” Denison also rowed. Mr. Greenwell does not remember the name of the fourth member of the crew.

In 1854 we come to a time when the records are more full.

In that year the Grand Challenge Cup for Fours was instituted at Durham Regatta. That date marks an epoch in the history of the regatta. It also marks an epoch in the history of School rowing. From the very first, in strong years and in weak years alike, the School has sent in a crew for the Grand Challenge Cup. That means that the School has always tested itself by the highest standard open to it. This steady aim at the highest honours has been the secret of the excellence of the School rowing record. It is of little import- ance whether in any particular year the crew wins or loses. As a matter of fact only two clubs have a greater number of wins to their credit ; while three other clubs have the same number of wins. But the number of wins is a trivial matter. The point which we wish to emphasise is that the tradition of competing for the Challenge Cup is the tradition which is responsible for the large measure of success which Durham School oarsmen have won elsewhere, when they have gone from School to Oxford and Cambridge. The policy of aiming at the highest has not only won “ blues ” for the School ; it has also been one cause of the continued success of Durham Regatta. The various North Country clubs have all been

14

School Rowing.

strengthened by the material which the School has shaped. If the crews entered at the regatta in any given year are analysed it will almost always be found that old Durham boys are the backbone of the best crews. If the Dunelmian oars- men were subtracted from the North Country clubs there would be very small entries at the regatta.

It is worth while to lay strong emphasis on the fact that the School rowing has been a permanent force to maintain the vitality of the sport in the North of England. The successes gained by old Dunelmians at Putney and at Henley are more brilliant, and catch the eye more easily, but possibly the service which the School has rendered to the North of England is more solidly valuable. It has been a great thing that a continuous line of Dunelmian oarsman has helped to keep the tone of the sport high in surroundings where other influences might have prevailed.

But if Durham Regatta owes much to the School rowing, it is no less certain that the School rowing owes much to the regatta. The line of Durham “ blues ” would not have been so long as it is without the stimulus of Durham Regatta.

Before 1854, the date of the institution of the Challenge Cup, W. King rowed in the Oxford eight. In 1854 the School crew contains the name of J. Arkell. He rowed for Oxford in 1857, 1858, 1859. He was president of the O.U.B.C. in 1859, and as President instituted the Trial eights at Oxford.

In 1855 T. H. Craster, who had rowed stroke of the School crew in 1853, rowed 5 in the Oxford eight at Henley. In 1856 Salmon, who had rowed bow of the School crew in 1852-3, rowed 3 in the Oxford eight at Putney.

In 1856 B. N. Cherry and H. J. Chaytor were in the School crew. Cherry rowed for Cambridge in i860. Chaytor rowed for Cambridge in 1859, i860, 1861.

From 1857 to i860 C. R. Carr was in the School crews. He rowed in the Oxford eights of 1862 and 1863, and was President of the O.U.B.C. in 1864.

From 1865 to 1867 W. H. Lowe was in the School crew, and in 1868, 1870, 1871, he was in the Cambridge eight.

J. H. Fish, who rowed in the Oxford eight in 1867, and E. S. Carter, who rowed in the Oxford eight in 1867 and 1868, were never in the School crew.

In 1871 and 1872 C. D. Shafto was in the School crews. He rowed stroke of the Cambridge eight in 1876 and 1877 — the year of the dead heat.

In 1878 another Durham boy, E. H. Prest, who had rowed in three School crews, stroked the Cambridge eight ; while LI. R. Jones, who had been in the School crews of 1875, 1876, 1877, was bow. Prest was President of the C.U.B.C. in 1879

15

and 1880, rowing bow in these years. Jones was secretary of the C.U.B.C. in 1881, and rowed in the University boat race for the second time in 1882.

In 1880 and 1881 R. H. J. Poole, who had rowed in the School crews of 1875, 1876, 1877, rowed in the Oxford eight.

In 1881 two old Durham boys, A. M. Hutchinson and C. W. Moore, were in the Cambridge crew. Hutchinson had been in the School four of 1879. Moore rowed at Durham but never reached the crew. Hutchinson rowed again in 1882, when he was secretary of the C.U.B.C. Moore rowed again in 1882, 1883, 1884, and was President of the C.U.B.C. in his last year.

Since 1884 only two Durham boys have rowed in the University boat race. These were G. C. Kerr, who rowed in the School crews of 1888, 1889, 1890, and in the Cambridge eights of 1892 and 1893, and C. T. Fogg-Elliot, who rowed in the School crews of 1887 and 1888, and in the Cambridge eights of 1891, 1892, 1893, 1894. Both these men were Presidents of the C.U.B.C. ; Kerr in 1893 and Fogg-Elliot in 1894.

But since 1884 three Durham men of quite first class excellence have been known on the Isis and the Cam. The first of these was W. A. King, who was in the School crews of 1881, 1882, 1883, and who was chosen as 7 in the Oxford crew of 1886. Ill-health caused his retirement from the boat about a fortnight before the race.

The second was J. W. Fogg-Elliot, who rowed in the School crew of 1885, and was reserve man for the Cambridge eight in 1888. He rowed in 1888 for a Thames eight which won the Grand at Henley.

The third was H. Graham, who rowed in the School crews of 1892, 1893, 1894, and was reserve man for the Oxford eight in 1896. He had a serious, and almost fatal, illness in his first term at Oxford : this naturally damaged his rowing career.

We mention these names to show that the break in the chain of Durham blues is partly due to bad luck.

We might also mention the name of M. Buchannan, who rowed in the School crews of 1896 and 1897, and afterwards went to Durham University. He was a very fine oarsman indeed who, had he gone to Oxford or Cambridge, would almost certainly have won his blue.

Contemporary with Buchannan was J. S. M. Sutherland, who rowed in the School crews of 1895 and 1896, and was in the Trials soon after going up to Cambridge. He would have had a great chance of winning his blue. Dis aliter visum. He went on a voyage to Iceland in the long vacation of 1897 ; the

ship was lost and has never since been heard of. But if it is true that these names, or some of them, might easily have been added to the list of Dunelmian blues, and if it is also true that there are others who did not go to the Universities but who were in the first rank of oarsmen, nevertheless it must be allowed that in later years the characteristic feature of School rowing has been a general good average rather than out- standing excellence.

For the last fifteen years the School has not specialised in rowing to the extent which it did in the sixties and seventies. All games are more organised, and there does not seem time now to do all that spontaneous out-of-season rowing which laid the foundation of the career of many of those who won their blues. Rowing nowadays is practically confined to the summer term. The time available in the Lent term becomes less and less every year. In old days the Lent Term had no organised game to occupy it, so that those who cared for rowing were able to row pretty constantly during the time between January and Easter. Again in old days, the early weeks of the autumn term were occupied by practice for the School Regatta, which took place late in September or early in October, term having begun at the end of August. A reference made by the writer to an old diary of the year 1875 shows him that in the whole School year of 1875 there were very few days when he was not on the river, either in a four or a pair or a sculling boat. Nowadays we doubt if any boat leaves the School landing between September and February.

The rowing of to-day is more carefully coached, and more rigidly organised, but there is little rowing except with some definite race in view. There is less rowing for the mere love of rowing ; and there is a consequent loss of that accurate watermanship, and that specialisation of power, which accounts for the successes of the older generation of Durham oarsmen. The crew of 1875, which won the Challenge Cup in an entry of nine crews, contained three men who had begun to practise together, with the definite object of winning the Challenge Cup, as far back as 1870. These small boys (in 1870 they varied in age from 12 to 14) used to go out together whenever they could get hold of a boat ; they were not coached, but they were severe critics of themselves ; they used to row courses and take infinite pains. They talked of rowing, they read of rowing, their dreams were of rowing. When in due course they found themselves together in the School crew they knew each other’s capacities perfectly ; they were perfectly together, and had confidence in each other. Two of them were well under ten stone, the other was just above ten

17

stone. The crew was light, but such weight as there was was properly applied, and they won against a strong field, rowing a slower stroke than any of their opponents.

All this is to illustrate the fact that the old successes were won by a system — or rather lack of system — of specialisation carried out by enthusiasts. We try nowadays to do by six weeks’ coaching what used to be done by six weeks’ hard work at the end of four or five years’ close attention. Boys come to school older, and devote far less time to rowing. The crews of to-day generally contain one or two members who began their rowing in the previous summer. The majority of those who won their blues in old days had been in and about boats for some years before they reached the School crew, and had practically rowed all the year round for several years.

Note.

This list has been compiled from so many sources that it is impossible to thank all our helpers by name, but we hope that we have not been remiss in showing our gratitude, whether to the friends who volunteered additions and cor- rections to the previous list or to those who so kindly answered our requests for information. In addition to those mentioned in the Preface, we must specially mention H. Garenci£res Pearson, Esq., O.D., Col. Wauhope, O.D., and Dr. T. A. Walker, of Peterhouse, who kindly forwarded a list of extracts from the forthcoming Peterhouse Admission Book.

Among the few records of the old School are a School List, dated 1824, and a List of Books taken from the School Library between 1835 and 1840. This may help to explain some entries otherwise obscure. There are also some names cut in the old School on Palace Green.

The earliest records of the School begin with the list of King’s Scholars in 1558, but we have prefixed a few names of men who were educated at Durham, without being (so far as we know) monks or novices at the Abbey. With respect to the Fellows, however, the epithet “ Dunelm ” refers only to place of birth, and proves nothing as to their place of education.
