Abstract
THE sudden death, at sixty-two years of age, of John Edward Campbell has come as a grievous shock to many. It removes from among us, in the height of his powers, a pure mathematician of strong individuality, and of conspicuous achievement in departments of research where few, in the British Isles at any rate, could bear him company. It deprives the small fraternity of mathematical lecturers in Oxford of a recognised leader, both revered and beloved. It means the loss to his College of a tutor no less devoted and successful than distinguished, who also served it in administration as acting head during the last years of its great Principal, Dr. Boyd. It leaves certain causes of philanthropic and religious work in Oxford sadly the worse off for working friends.
