 | | George Francis Walker, B.A., Fellow of Queens' College, Cambridge, the Second Wrangler of 1879, may be considered to be the zeroth holder of the Chair. |
 | | Instead, in 1858 he went up to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he made his way by means of scholarships, reaching the pinnacle of being Senior wrangler (leading the other competitors in the Mathematics Tripos by two thousand marks) and First Smith's Prizeman of 1861. |
 | | A Herald correspondent wrote that he would sooner be a champion shot than a Senior Wrangler, for he would be more likely to be of use to society. |
