SIR ROBERT BALL Transcript of a lecture given to the members of Wolverhampton Astronomical Society, 2nd April 2001, by Roger Jones (society member) Victorian Astronomer ( 1840 -1913 ) Robert Ball was of Irish extraction, but tracing the Ball lineage takes us back to 16th Century England; to Devon, where his ancestors were landowners, with estates in Mamhead near Dawlish and Morebath just north of Tiverton. Naturally some of his forefathers had military connections including: A great great great grandfather who was an officer in the 1680 army of Charles II. On the other side of the Atlantic, Bent Ball, a great uncle fought under William Howe as a captain in the 63rd regiment in the American War of Independence. Despite being severely wounded by 3 musket balls at the Battle of Bunker Hill, he lived on until he was 80, dying in 1832 and with one of the shots still inside him. Coincidentally, two of the Ball lineage were astronomers in the late 17th century. They were brothers William and Peter. Ball only found out about these ancestors when he researched his family history much later in life. Inevitably, there was a black sheep in the family, who went by the name of Nicholas Ball; his main claim to fame seems to have been his love of gambling. His epitaph read

Return to the top. Cambridge The University of Cambridge Dates from before 1209 when a group of students left Oxford after a riot and went to Cambridge. The first recorded Chancellor was elected by 1246. Town and gown riots occurred in Cambridge as well and in 1381 all the university records were publicly burned, resulting in considerable obscurity about the early history of the university. The Cambridge system has undergone many changes, but from 1747-1748 until 1910 there was an extended examination, called the Tripos, and the top students were ranked in order as senior wrangler, second wrangler, .... The total numbers of students with mathematical honours for 1747/48 to 1899 areTrinity 5948; St. John's 4224; Gonville and Caius 1533; with the other colleges trailing behind. By the early 20C, the Tripos system was replaced by unordered results within classes, like most other English universities.
