One of the most noted provosts of
Trinity college in the last century was
John Hely Hutchinson. Hutchinson was
the king of office-holaers, and while pro-
yost managed to retain some halt-dozen
other positions outside. During his admin
lstation an emeatc of the students occurred,
growing out OF the death of junior fellow
named Shrewsbury, who, 1t was claimed,
had died because of Provost Hutchinson's
refusal to grant him leave of absence for
change OF air. The provost, who had not
been partial to the dead fellow in life, or
dered that the funeral should take place at
a. M, and that the bell of the college
chapel should not be tolled. Mr. Hutchin-
son, however, reckoned without his host,
Tor the students assembled in force and
proclaimed that the bell should not only
toll, but that the funeral should be held
by torehlight to emphasize the event. The
students had their way, and after the fun
eral they went to the provost's house,
broke in the doors and smashed the furni-
ture. The tenants had wisely retreated to
the country prior to the attack.
