* The two gentlemen marked with an asterisk are respectively
Senior and Junior Dean, whose duty it is to go twice every
day to Chapel.
The Prize Medal for regular attendance at chapel and good conduct
when there, has been awarded to Mr Perry, who has passed an
examination highly creditable to himself and family. He was only 18
marks below the highest number which he could possibly have gained.
It is, therefore, to be hoped Mr P. will be more regular and do
still better next term. With respect to the two Gentlemen who are
not classed, the Secretary need hardly say that he does not envy
them their feelings on the present occasion. In consequence of the
New Agreement, the Chapel Lists will _ipso facto_ be discontinued
for the future.
In the above list the master is designated as Wordsworth Senior. The
prize was awarded to Perry the future bishop, but instead of the
promised medal he was given a bible. This was secured for the College
in 1906, and now rests in our library. It is bound in calf, stamped
with the arms and supporters assumed by the Society, and bears the
inscription "From the Undergraduates of Trinity College to the Rev.
Charles Perry, M.A., as a mark of affection and esteem for the good
example which he set them and the _rest_ of the College by his
constant attendance at Chapel." I have been informed that to each of
the two fellows who did not attend at all there was sent a small bible
with an inscription therein of the Society's hope that its presence
among his books might in the future encourage him to perform tasks
which he believed to be important even though he found them
unpleasant.
