Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2015 https://archive.org/details/loancollectionofOOeton PREFACE, BY The Rev. J. E. C. WELLDON, Head Master of Harrow School. TT has been thought well to celebrate the 450th year since the foundation of the College by getting together such a collection as is possible, at short notice and amidst difficulties, of memorials of the great men, whether dead or living, who in that long time have shed lustre upon Eton. Such a collection must be deeply interesting to Etonians, but it has an interest even wider than this. It is a witness to the influence of the greatest of the Public Schools, and therefore, in their measure, of the Public Schools generally, upon the national life. One of the noblest of the sons of Eton, Mr. Canning, has expressed that influence in striking words : " Foreigners often ask, by what means an uninterrupted succession of men, qualified more or less eminently for the perfor- mance of parliamentary and official duties, is secured. First, I answer (with the prejudices, perhaps, of Eton and Oxford) that we owe it to our system of Public Schools and Universities. From vi. these institutions is derived (in the language of the prayer of our Collegiate Churches) ' a due supply of men fitted to serve their country in Church and State.' It is in her Public Schools and Universities that the youth of England are, by a discipline which shallow judgments have sometimes attempted to undervalue, prepared for the duties of public life. There are rare and splendid exceptions, to be sure ; but in my conscience I believe that England would not be what she is without her system of public education ; and that no other country can become what England is, without the advantages of such a system." The history of Eton is, in a sense, the history of England. Eton is not, like so many schools, a happy accident, but a grand idea which has been grandly carried out. The centuries of her existence, if they attest her flexibility, attest still more the con- tinuity of her life. It may be true that her Royal Founder could not have imagined the illustrious destiny of his Foundation. The school of seventy poor scholars has risen to be a school of nearly a thousand boys, many of them bearing the names most famous in English history. The expansion of buildings and playing fields at Eton ii yet more remarkable than her numerical increase. Dr. Malim's Consuetudinarium is but a shadow to the substance of the Time Table representing the studies of to-day. The years have brought changes everywhere at Eton, and never more rapidly than of late. Within the recollection of living men one site, one custom after another has disappeared. Montem is but a name, if PREFACE. vii. indeed it be a name, in the minds of modern Eton boys. Salt Hill has become a villa residence. This very year will see the destruction of the eyot, the traditional scene of the illuminations on the 4th of June. Meanwhile the Christopher has been denuded of its glory, and Election Saturday is a thing of the past. Nobody now dreams of shirking a master in the streets. The block, that palladium of old Eton, is a shattered idol ; nor indeed is it any disparagement to Dr. Warre to say that the birch is not, in his hands, what it was in the hands of Dr. Keate. But the genius loci at Eton has been stronger than reform. In all that makes a school great and good Eton is still what she always has been. Every school has its characteristic note, and the note of Eton is nobleness. Her aspect and her history forbid whatever is mean or common or utilitarian. Unconsciously she teaches, and unconsciously her sons imbibe, the lesson of dignity and duty. Time, if it takes something from her historic scenes, adds something to her hallowed associations. A century ago she was the school of Chatham and Fox ; half a century ago the school of Canning and Melbourne ; she is now the school, not of these only, but of Gladstone and Salisbury. This collection of memorials will serve in some measure to bring out the sense of her unchanging spirit in a world of change. For they are representative, in some way or other, of many families, which from generation to generation have been associated, as they are to-day, by close and intimate ties with Eton, such as the Walpoles, the Cannings, the Wellesleys, the viii. PREFACE. Cavendishes, the Pelhams, the Cecils, the Stanleys, the Northcotes, the Coleridges, the Pattesons, the Selwyns, the Sumners, and the Denisons, and which, by their history, have shown alike how much Eton has done for her sons, and how much her sons in their turn may do for Eton. The Eton boys of to-day as they look upon the memorials of the great Etonians, dead or living, who are represented here, will surely reflect that they too may bequeath to their School a legacy of renown. Among so many names it is hardly safe to dwell upon one. Yet the thought has sometimes occurred to me that if it were necessary to choose one man who, above all others, by his sense of duty, his elevation of character, his public services, his learning, h's scholarship, his piety, and his singular affection for Eton, seems to have almost realized the ideal of an Eton man, he would be the Marquess Wellesley. It is known how deep was his lifelong interest in Eton, and how at Eton he was buried by his own desire. All Etonians will read with pathetic interest the letter exhibited in this collection, in which he writes, "To Eton I owe and ascribe every gift of honour and happiness, and it is a matter of delight to me to witness the extension of the blessings which I have enjoyed to a new gener- ation." Perhaps, too, some after reading it will look once more at the beautiful verses which he composed for his own epitaph : — Fortunae rerumque vagis exercitus undis, In gremium redeo serus, Etona, tuum. Magna sequi, et summae mirari culmina famae, PREFACE. ix. Et purum antiquae lucis adire jubar, Auspice te didici puer, atque in limine vitae Ingenuas verae laudis amare vias. Si qua meum vitae decursu gloria nomen Auxerit, aut si quis nobilitarit honos, Muneris, Alma, tui est. Altrix da terra sepulchrum, Supremam lacrimam da memoremque mei. Such is, and has ever been, the spirit of Eton. It is for this that every one who loves not Eton only, but England, will join in the prayer, " Floreat Etona ;" nor will it, I hope, be thought wrong that he who, by the kindness of old Eton friends, is per- mitted to write these few words, as he thinks of his own unspeakable debt to Eton, should claim to breathe that prayer with especial fervency, though from Harrow. Note by the Honorary Secretary. The Committee have to offer in the first place their most grateful thanks to those who have lent, in many cases with all charges generously defrayed, the many interesting and valuable objects which are enumerated in this catalogue. They feel sure that the great kindness of the lenders will meet with the warm appreciation of all Etonians. They also have gratefully to acknowledge the contributions made on behalf of the expenses, which must necessarily be heavy, although they have endeavoured to use economy as far as possible in the undertaking which they had to carry out. Many have given valuable assistance in the way of advice and work, especially Mr. Holmes of the Royal Library, Mr. L. Cust of the British Museum, and Mr. Philip Norman, to whom the thanks of the Committee are particularly due. The Catalogue has been prepared by Mr. F. H. Rawlins, who wishes to acknowledge his obligations to Mr. Maxwell Lyte's " History of Eton College," and to " Etoniana." The portraits in the Drill Hall have been under the management of the Lower Master and Mr. W. Durnford, while the arrangement of the Upper School and of the adjoining Head Master's room has chiefly fallen to the Honorary Secretary. The portraits of living Etonians are, with a few special exceptions, in the Drill Hall. Note to the Library Edition. In this, the third, edition, Mr. George Scharf, C.B., F.S.A., Director of the National Portrait Gallery, has kindly given his assistance by writing descriptive notes on the portraits exhibited in the Upper School. The Committee have in all cases accepted the statements of the Exhibitors as to the artists and the identity of the portraits described. ETON : AN ODE. For the four hundred and fifheth Anniversary of the Foundation of the College. I. Four hundred summers and fifty have shone on the meadows of Thames and died Since Eton arose in an age that was darkness, and shone by his radiant side As a star that the spell of a wise man's word bade live and ascend and abide. And ever as time's flow brightened, a river more dark than the storm-clothed sea, And age upon age rose fairer and larger in promise of hope set free, With England Eton her child kept pace as a fostress of men to be. And ever as earth waxed wiser, and softer the beating of time's wide wings Since fate fell dark on her father, most hapless and gentlest of star-crossed kings, Her praise has increased as the chant of the dawn that the choir of the noon outsings. II. Storm and cloud in the skies were loud, and lightning mocked at the blind sun's light ; War and woe on the land below shed heavier shadow than falls from night ; Dark was earth at her dawn of birth as here her record of praise is bright xii. ETON: AN ODE. Clear and fair through her morning air the Hght first laugh of the sunlit stage Rose and rang as a fount that sprang from depths yet dark with a spent storm's rage, Loud and glad as a boy's, and bade the sunrise open on Shake- speare's age. Lords of state and of war, whom fate found strong in battle, in counsel strong. Here, ere fale had approved them great, abode their season, and thought not long : Here too first was the lark's note nursed that filled and flooded the skies with song. III. Shelley, lyric lord of England's 'ordliest singers, here first heard Ring from lips of poets crowned and dead the Promethean word Whence his soul took fire, and power to outsoar the sunward- soaring bird. Still the reaches of the river, still the light on field and hill, Still the memories held aloft as lamps for hope's young fire to fill. Shine, and while the light of England lives shall shine for England still. When four hundred more and fifty years have risen and shone and set, Bright with names that men remember, loud with names that men forget, Haply here shall Eton's record be what England finds it yet.

At Eton (where he was a Colleger, after- wards proceeding to King's) he was an intimate friend of the elder Pitt, who afterwards constantly consulted him on points of constitutional or international law, and made him Attorney-General in 1757.

Lord Brougham says of him (' Historical Sketches ') : — " He descended to the grave full of years and honours, the most precious honours which a patriot can enjoy, the unabated gratitude of his countrymen, and the unbroken conscious- ness of having, through good report and evil, firmly maintained his principles and faithfully discharged his duty."

A Silhouette. He was a really great Head Master of the old type. For 25 years he ruled the school with a firmness which made him not only feared but also admired and loved by the boys. His power of discipline was proved by his defeat of the rebellion of 1818 {see Nos. 368, 382). He was an admirable teacher, and was noted for the accuracy of scholarship on which he insisted in all Composition which came under his eye. His lectures to the 6th Form on Greek plays were a model of elegant taste. In school he was hampered by the unwieldy size of his Division, which numbered never less than 100 boys. 32 ETON LOAN COLLECTION. He was extremely fond of oratory, and taught boys to deliver Speeches with telling enunciation and action. Throughout his administration he wore a cocked hat {see No. 474), which appears in this and other portraits (pp. 38, 39). In 1834 he retired to the living of Hartley Wespall, near Basingstoke ; he had previously (1820) been appointed Canon of Windsor. On the death of Dr. Goodall, in 1840, it was generally thought that he ought to be Provost, but he was himself unwilling to accept the post. Lent by R. Ingalton Drake, Esq. 80 The Rev.

In 1741 he settled in Cambridge, where he resided till his death, holding for the last five years of his life the Professorship of Modern History.

He was a Head Master of the modern school : his desire of reform was at first hampered by the conservatism of Provost Goodall, but was cordially supported by Archdeacon Hodgson, whose accession to the Provostship in 1840 marks the transition from old to new Eton. He reduced the unwieldy size of Divisions, and raised the moral and intellectual tone of the School. He was not a great scholar, but was a cultivated man and a good modern linguist ; he founded the English Essay Prize, and did everything in his power to encourage a literary spirit. In 1851 he incorporated Mathematics in the regular school-work. He built the Sanatorium, and obtained the abolition of "the Christopher," 1845, and of Montem, 1847. As Provost he devoted him- self mainly to literary pursuits, but was ready to support Dr. Goodford's salutary reforms — such as the admission of Oppidans as Assistant Masters.

These paintings were executed between the years 1479 and 1488 by, or under the direction of, WilHam Baker, and are interesting examples of native art. They occupied the vacant space above the original stalls, but were subsequently covered over. Their existence was unknown until the alterations to the Chapel in 1847. They were then partially destroyed and completely covered by the new woodwork of the stalls. Drawings were made under Dr. Hawtrey's direction by R. H. Essex, and these are preserved in the College Library. The present drawings were made by the two daughters and a niece of the Hon. and Rev. Henry Cockayne Cust, Canon of Windsor, during the progress of the destruction of the originals. The paintings represent various miracles wrought by the Virgin Mary (the Patroness of the College) after her death. A full description will be found in Willis and Clark's Architectural History of the University of Cambridge, vol. i, appendix, p. 598. A similar series exists in the Lady Chapel of Winchester Cathedral. Lent by Lionel Cust, Esq., F.S.A. 240 " Eaton College." Birdseye view. Reduced from engraving by LOGGAN.

Northcote (Earl of Iddesleigh), Lord Dalmeny (Earl of Rosebery), J. D. Coleridge (Lord Chief Justice), Lord Boringdon (Earl of Morley). The Eton Society was founded in 181 1 by Charles Fox Townshend (No. 1 18). Its members were originally known as the Literati ; but afterwards the Society was called ' Pop,' from Popina, ' an eating-house,' because its meetings were held in a room over the shop of Mrs. Hatton, a confectioner. The original number of members was 20, it was increased to 30, but by 1816 had sunk to 14 ; and, but for the protests of the founder and other old members, the Society would have become extinct. In 1846 it moved to its present quarters. Its palmy days were when its chief members were W. E. Gladstone, G. A. Selwyn, A. H. Hallam, Francis Doyle and Gerald Wellesley. Mr. Gladstone was elected in 1825, a:t. 15 ; his speeches, like those of his contemporaries, are elaborate, filled with quotations, and written out with all the exclamations of assent and dissent. In those times strangers were admitted as audience. The present number of the Society is 28. MSS. AND AUTOGRAPHS. 77 348 "Bacchus" Verses by Richard Person. {See No. 26.)

" You must know that it never was Mr. Cook's intention to let us have a Montem this year as being but 2* {tho' I can't tell you why.) But Dr. Graham having some acquaintance with Hor. Walpole, wrote to him, who got it granted of the Pro., so that we did not know of it till the Wednesday before it was to be."

(See No. 51.) After generally approving of Dr. Keate's action, the Duke writes : ' ' But in my opinion the parents of those who are receiving their education at Eton, have nothing to say to the rules which you may choose to adopt and enforce. If they are so unreasonable as to disapprove of them, they have it in their power to remove their boys from the school, but none to influence your regulations or your mode of enforcing them."

These MSS., after being exhibited in the Library of the Society of Antiquaries, were in 1787 presented by Sir John Fenn to George IV. For nearly a century their resting place was a mystery, and they were not discovered until after the death of Col. Tomline, M.P., when they were found by Mr. Nattali, in his library at Orwell Park, in 1889.

It had been intended to place him on the Foundation, he writes : — " I prevailed on my uncle (being aided by the advice of Mr. Fox and Mr. Sheridan, who gave their opinions in my favour) to give up the idea. Hear some of my reasons and judge." He ends with a statement of his determination to use the last year of his time, from the age of 16 to 17, to the best advantage.

OBJECTS CONxNECTED WITH MONTEM. The earliest account of Montem, in Malim's Consuetudinarium, 1 560, describes it as an initiation of new boys at Salt Hill by sprinkling them with sal in its double meanings of " salt " and " wit." Later it became a festival for the purpose of collecting "salt," i.e., money contributions towards the University expenses of the Senior Colleger. Up till 1758 this festival was held in January; after that date on Whit Tuesday ; and in 1773 it was made triennial instead of annual. The " salt " was collected by two "salt-bearers," who worked in and near Eton, and twelve "runners," who took up positions on the high roads; these fourteen collectors wore a fancy dress, and carried staves and saiin money-bags. In exchange for " salt " they gave a ticket inscribed vrith the date, and the words (on alternate celebrations), Mos pro lege or Pro more et monte. The average amount collected latterly was £\,, subject to deductions for expenses and damage to property. The senior boys were dressed as officers in the army of different ranks, the Captain of Montem's "servants " were in fancy dress, while the junior boys wore blue coats and white waistcoats and troupers, and carried thin white poles. The ceremony consisted in the waving of a flag in Weston's Yard, a procession to Salt Hill, where the flag was again waved, and a dinner at the two inns at Salt Hill. The Montem Verses were doggerel rhymes on the personages in the procession, sold, though not composed, by the " Montem Poet " {see No. 76). Montem was witnessed by George III., George IV., William IV., and Her Majesty the Queen. The increased publicity caused by the introduction of railways made its continuance undesirable, and it was abolished in 1847 by Provost Hodgson and the then Head- Master, Dr. Hawtrey. {See Nos. 70-74, 81, 82, 94, 112.) 419 Eton Montem Ticket for 1841, used by the Prince Consort, with autograph inscription by The Queen.
