| Teitl | Bundle superscribed 'Oxford', but a good deal of the matter enclosed has to do with Liverpool friends - letters from W.R. Owen, from his father (who with W.R.O. were active, early in 1885, in founding the Liverpool Welsh National Society), from the Rev. Thomas Hughes the Wesleyan minister, from W.S. Jones; there is also an official list of subjects - Liverpool National, 1884 - no.12 being a prize of £25 to be given for a History of Wales for use in Day Schools, which was won by J.E.L., and printed in the Trans. of that Eisteddfod, pp.341-408. The rest of the bundle is distinctly Oxford: letters from W.W. Merry and W.W. Fowler, a notice to attend a meeting of the Pattison Society, a photo of an ISIS Society group (in which J.E. Lloyd is unmistakably recognised), a Betella bill for 1883, an appeal from R.L. Poole for co-operation in floating the English Historical Review (August 1885), programme of the Encaenia for 1885, and a small envelope containing his Oxford Testamurs and certificates (from the last testamur we learn that three of his examiners in Historia Moderna, in which he was placed in the First Class, were Mandell Creighton (later Bishop), A.L. Smith, and [Sir] Richard Lodge) |
