Abstract
PROF. ROBERT BELLAMY CLIFTON was born on March 13, 1836, and so had nearly completed his eighty-fifth year when he died on February 21. The only son of a Lincolnshire gentleman, he received his education at University College, London, and at St. John's College, Cambridge, coming out sixth wrangler in the Tripos of 1859 and second Smith's prizeman, the senior wrangler and first Smith's prizeman being Canon Wilson. His Cambridge record is typical of his subsequent career; he was a man of great learning, but also of great deliberation. Obtaining a fellowship at St. John's, he went to Owens College, ManChester, in 1860 as professor of natural philosophy, and was appointed professor of experimental philosophy in the University of Oxford in 1865, which appointment he held until 1915.
