His private life was retired and com
paratively uneventful. After four years
schooling at Rugby Dodgson matriculated
at Christ Church, Oxford, where for
eighteen years he held a studentship. He
took first class in the final mathematical
school IN 1854, and the following year was
appointed mathema tical lecturer at Christ
Church, post he filled till 1881. In 1861
he was ordained deacon, but he never
took priests orders, possibly because Of
an impediment in his speech which pre-
vented reading aloud.
His earliest publications were exclusive
ly mathematical; even while Lewis Car
rolf was delighting children of all ares
he continued to issue periodically mathe
matical treatses. "Alice" was followed bv
'Phantasmagoria," Through the Looking
Glass "The Hunting of the Shark"
Rhyme and Reason" "a Tangled Tale"
and "Sylvie and Bruno" From time to
time he wrote skits on Oxford subjects.
Some Of the most fascinating pages of
"Alice in Wonderland" are those that re-
cord the incident of the Caucus-race. 1t
will be recalled that Alice and The Mons
and the Lory and the Eaglet and the Duck
and the Dodo, and others, had just rescned
themselves from the pool of tears Alice
had wept. The Dodo advocates the eau
cus-race as the best method of getting
themselves dry. And then
What is a Caucus-race ?" said Alice; not
that she much wanted to know, but the Dodo
mad paused as if it thought that somebody
ought to speak, and no one else seemed in
clined to say anything.
"Why.' said the Dodo, 1.-The best wav to
