Alfred Wallis Street, M.A. Senior Professor of the college. He was formerly of Magdalene hall, and afterwards of Pembroke college, Oxford, where he graduated B.A. 1837, M.A. 1839. He was elected Craven University scholar and appointed Junior Professor in Bishop's college, Calcutta, by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts in 1839. ""The esteem and love of all acquainted with the Professor (writes the Bishop) were deeply seated. His fine talents, his sound scholarship, his general knowledge, his kindness and tenderness of heart, his deligence, his disinterested character, and his benevolence, had attached all to whom who were placed under his influence or enjoyed his friendship. In the college, as well as in the mission, his real and indefatigable labours were only too great even for his firm and vigorous frame. Mr Street has left a wife and three children. In his generosity and disregard of self he had used up his little income, nor has he left so much as 100 rupees, exclusive of a very small insurance on his life."" Mr Street was brother to the Rev. A. Street, late curate of St James's Bristol. |
