 John Stevens Henslow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John's College, Cambridge, where he graduated as sixteenth wrangler in 1818, the year in which Sedgwick became Woodwardian professor of geology.
Meanwhile, Henslow had studied mineralogy with considerable zeal, so that on the death of Clarke he was in 1822 appointed professor of mineralogy in the university at Cambridge.
In 1832 Henslow was appointed vicar of Cholsey-cum-Moulsford in Berkshire, and in 1837 rector of Hitcham in Suffolk, and at this latter parish he lived and laboured, endeared to all who knew him, until the close of his life.

At that time, the core of Cambridge liberal education and the key to honors was mathematics.1 Students were also expected to have some knowledge of the classical languages and of theology.
This movement led in 1827 to the institution of the University of London, where modern languages, empirical sciences, and areas such as political economy were taught by specialized professors.
Moreover, German universities were becoming attached to the idea that a major function of universities was the production of research and, correspondingly, were developing the idea of a research seminar.
