Birmingham Daily Post: Saturday 26th January 1878

Cambridge Mathematical Tripos: Yesterday there was the usual large gathering in the Senate House at Cambridge to hear the result of the great mathematical examination of the year. Outside opinion was divided as to who would bear the coveted position of Senior Wrangler, some thinking it would go to Christ’s College, others to Caius, and other to Trinity. The sequel will show how far the expectations were justified. In all cases of equality, the names are bracketed. The following is the list: Wranglers: … (list includes) … Edwards, Sidney Sussex and Pinsent, St. John’s (fourth equal) … Mr. Hume Chancellor, Pinsent of St. John’s College, was educated at Amersham Hall School, near Reading, under Mr. West, headmaster.
