N presenting to our readers the second number of “ The Dunelmian,” we must thank them for the kindness with I which they accepted our first venture. t Three hundred copies of No. 1 were distributed : and it is very satisfactory that 100 of these were purchased by “ the School.” We have been sharply criticised on all sides, and this at least shows that our pages have been examined. One objection was that we had simply aped the School Calendar : another, that we were too much given to sports. Our very name has been censured. It has been proposed that a list of all those who have ever been at Durham School should be published, with their addresses. This we shall be delighted to do, if they will enable us to do so, by entering their names as members of the 0 . D. C. 41 It has been pointed out that we have no title page, a defect which we take the first opportunity of supplying. Many other suggestions have been made, some of which have been adopted, whilst others must bide their time. In this number the Head-master has kindly concluded his very interesting history of the School by contributing a short account of each Head-master from 1578-1881. These papers, the fruit of no small trouble, and the occupation, assuredly, of many hours, have been highly appreciated by all who love the School. Our next issue will contain some jottings upon the City of Durham, by Captain E. A. W h i t e . A portion of this year’s prize poem will be found in one page : and we think that all who read it will agree that it deserves a place of honour. An important change amongst the Masters is recorded : and all must be gratified by the pleasing and generous recognition of Mr. W a d d e l l ’s long and valuable services. We welcome E. H. J. P o o l e ’ s return to his Alma Mater, and trust he may remain with us as long as did his predecessor. At the request of an Old Dunelmian, a list of the King’s Scholars since 1837 is presented to our readers, in which we are glad to recognise several distinguished names. In sports of every kind our fame has been well sustained. April 8th was a proud day for us, for we had three old boys taking part in the University boat race—Poole rowed bow of the Oxford eight; whilst M. Hutchinson and C. W. Moore rowed G and 7 in the Cambridge boat. We can now number 13 University oars, an honour surpassed only by four Schools in England. Our Oxford and Cambridge notes are limited : we hope we may interpret the circumstance by the old adage “facta, non verba.” We have reserved as a “ bonne bouche ” the auspicious record of the marriage of the D e a n o p D u r h a m to Miss K a t h a r i n e G l a d s t o n e . To the School the event has doubtless secured the welcome prolongation of the Summer vacation. We rejoice that the “ sweet influences ” of the fair sex will now, after an absence of forty years, resume their sway within the Deanery; and we cordially desire for the D e a n and Mrs. L a k e many years of unbroken happiness. 42 ®f>e c55ea6 OF JKtrdcmt School*. B.a>. 1578=1881. N our first number a promise was made that some account of the Masters I and most distinguished pupils of the School would be given in the present number. We have found it somewhat difficult to fulfil this promise, but what we have been able to collect in the way of information is as follows. No record is extant of any Masters of the Monastic School prior to the Reform­ ation.
