Trinity Lodge - Alfred Ollivant has become a candidate for Thomas Turton's vacated chair (Regius Professor of Divinity): 'Tell me what you know of him in Wales or elsewhere. His coming forwards was a move of some of the electors who suspected C. Wordsworth [Christopher Wordsworth, junior], as well as Mill [William Hodge Mill], of Tractarian propensities, and did not like the other candidates for various reasons [see WW to RJ, 9 October 1842]. It is a curious proof how strong the Cambridge antipathy to that school is. I am only sorry for it in so far as if it dispel C. Wordsworth it will much grieve my benefactor his father'.
