HOC TITVLO MEMORIAE TRADITVR IOSEPHVS PRIOR A.M. HVIVS COLLEGII PER LVIII ANNOS SOCIVS PER XVI TVTOR PER XXVIII INTER COLLEGAS AETATE MAXIMVS |
This inscription commemorates Joseph Prior, M.A., who was Fellow of the College for fifty-eight years, Tutor for sixteen years, and for twenty-eight years Senior Fellow. An open-hearted and kindly man, he was a continual and abundant source of wit; as an old man he was popular with the young and more light-hearted than any of them. The Fellows enjoyed his conversation while he lived and miss it now that it is silenced. He died on 16th October 1918 at the age of eighty-four. |
