Queen's College,
Oxford,
July 9th, 1896.
MR. T. HODGSON, has been my pupil during the last three years.
He entered this College in 1892 as a Hastings Exhibitioner, and was elected to an Honorary Scholarship on obtaining a First Class in Mathematics at Moderations in 1894. He has taken a Second Class in the Final Mathe- matical School this Summer.
I can confidently recommend Mr. Hodgson as a sound and able Mathematican. His work for me was always marked by great clearness, neatness, and fulness of demonstration; he never evades or shirks a difficulty and is not content to leave any point till he has thoroughly mastered it
His solutions of problems are marked by the same clear- ness and fulness; this quality of carefulness should make him valuable as a teacher. He possesses great power of work and capacity for taking pains, is keen about his work, and always punctual and regular; he has borne a uniformly excellent character, and I have found him pleasant to work with,
He will be a careful and conscientious teacher, and a loyal colleague; he should do good work.
