Julius Hare

Like Simeon and along with him, Porson was on the foundation of Eton and he took his bachelor's degree from Trinity College in 1782.

Simeon outlasted the great Greek scholar seven and twenty years, surviving from a Cambridge which had only recently lost grey and was still full of living traditions of Bentley into a Cambridge which had already felt the influence of Sedgwick, Whewell and Julius Hare.

Measured on the line of English history, his life extended from the last months of George II almost to the accession of Victoria, from the year of victories, the year of Wolf's triumph at Quebec, through the whole course of the American War of Independence and the campaigns of the French Revolution till Waterloo was already a memory and the Thirty Years' Peace was drawing to its close.

In the line of English literature, he travelled from the period of Johnson, Burns and Cooper to a time when Coleridge had already passed away and the Lake School was on its way to literary victory and the first writings of Macaulay and of Tennyson were abroad.

Looking back in the year 1844 he writes to one of his sisters, As to Simeon, if you knew what his authority and influence were, and how they extended from Cambridge to the most remote corners of England, you would allow that his real sway over the church was far greater than that of any primate.

The life of the university was fast changing around him in the direction of greater energy, a larger range of studies and on the whole better order.

It is interesting to recollect that his long evening was the morning or the noon of life for such Cambridge men as Sedgwick, Herschel, Peacock, Whewell, Julius Hare, William Mill, Thurwell, Maurice, Trench and Tennyson.

In one of Brown's recollections occurs a notice of Simeon's reasons for voting at the election of a university member in 1829 for Cavendish, the second wrangler of that year, now the venerable Chancellor of Cambridge, William Duke of Devonshire.
