His father, the Venerable Archdeacon Farr, LL.D. (Cantab.), was, at the time, headmaster of St. Peter's College, the leading Boys' College in Adelaide. After receiving his early education at his father's school, Dr. Farr proceeded to Adelaide University. It was his good fortune that Sir William Bragg was Professor of Mathematics and Physics. Farr remained a lifelong friend of Sir William and his family, and he was fond of recalling that he had often nursed on his knee Professor W. H. Bragg, at present the Cavendish Professor of Physics at Cambridge.
