 | | Martin Joseph Routh, who was born in 1755, died in 1854, in the hundredth year of his age, after holding the position of president of Magdalen for three and sixty years. |
 | | His distinguished contemporary, William Hepworth Thompson, regius professor of Greek from 1853 to 1867, and, for the last twenty years of his life, master of Trinity, produced admirable commentaries on the Phaedrus and Gorgias of Plato, and, by his personal influence did much towards widening the range of classical studies in Cambridge. |
