M.S. QUI IAM SCHOLAE ETONENSIS ALUMNUS |
Sacred to the memory of Harry Chester Goodhart. As a schoolboy at Eton College he won the palm among his contemporaries at both work and games; as a young man at Trinity he fulfilled his childhood promise and was elected a Fellow in 1881. During his ten-year residence at Trinity he greatly benefited the undergraduates by his expositions of classical authors and by his teaching of history. He was then called to a wider sphere of activity at Edinburgh as Professor of Latin. When he had scarcely given a sample of his outstanding genius, he was snatched away by an early death (as we say), leaving to his relations, friends and pupils his example and his memory. He was born on 17th July 1858 and died on 21st April 1895. |
