Excerpt from The Church and the Empires: Historical Periods I well recollect my first sight of him, on his presenting himself before the tutors of his college, - when the lectures had to be arranged for the Term, and his place in them, as a Freshman, determined. He was small and timid, shrinking from notice, with a bright face and intelligent eyes. Partly from his name, partly from his appearance, I was at once drawn towards him, and, as he subsequently told me, he felt a corresponding desire to know me, and, in a little time, though I was not formally his college tutor, and only had relations with him as with other undergraduates in my lecture room, we became very intimate. He read with me, as his private tutor, during a portion of four long vacations - at Hampstead in 1827, at Nuneham in 1828, at Horsepath in 1829, and in Oriel in 1830. In Michaelmas Term, 1830, he went up for his B.A. examination, and was placed by the examiners in the first class in classics, and in the second in mathematics. At Oxford he remained after taking his degree of B.A. for several years, at least to the year 1833, when he gained the Ellerton Theological Prize, and took his Master's degree. His chief associates in his own college during his Oxford residence were, besides his elder brother Robert, and the Reverend R. Hurrell Froude, at that time Fellows and Tutors of Oriel, Mr. Frederic Rogers, now Lord Blachford, Mr. S. F. Wood, brother to the present Lord Halifax, Mr. George Ryder, son of the Bishop of Lichfield, Mr. Robert F. Wilson, at present examining chaplain to the Bishop of Salisbury, Mr. William Froude, F.R.S., and Mr. Thomas Mozley, Rector of Plymptree, Devon.
