Abstract
HENBY STROUD was born at Bristol on August 7, 1861. He began his education at Bristol Grammar School and proceeded with an entrance scholarship in 1879 to the University College in that city, where he came under the influence of Silvanus Thompson. In 1880 he was awarded the Gilchrist Scholarship tenable at Owens College, Manchester, where he studied under Balfour Stewart and Henry Roscoe for two years, at the end of which period he apparently scooped up all the mathematical and physical scholarships in his immediate neighbourhood and went with them to St. John's College, Cambridge. In the Mathematical Tripos list for 1885 he was eighth Wrangler. In 1886 he obtained a first class in physics in Part II of the Natural Sciences Tripos, and in the same year graduated as doctor of science in the University of London.
