Abstract
A FORMIDABLE champion of Euclidean methods in the elementary teaching of geometry has just passed away after a short illness. The Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was born in 1832 at Daresbury in Cheshire; and, after passing five years at Rugby School, matriculated in 1850 at Christ Church, Oxford, where he was appointed a student in 1852, and graduated in 1854 with honours in both classics and mathematics. He was appointed Mathematical Lecturer in the College in 1855, and retained that office till 1881; he further served the University as Mathematical Examiner in 1863, and Moderator in 1868.
