Old Tripos days at Cambridge*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 November 2016
Extract
My purpose this evening is to submit to you an other sketch of the general course and the circumstances of mathematical study at (Cambridge in my student days between fifty and sixty years ago. It does not set out to be an estimate of the state mathematical knowledge at that date It is not a comparison (or would contrast be the better word ?) between the empirical natural philosophy then in vogue and the rather speculative (slightly Aristotelian) physical theories that now absorb a small world of seekers after new Truth. It is only a picture of that academic, life as it then appeared to an unfledged student, now drawn as faithfully as memory will allow.
