"THE LATE PROFESSOR GOODHART
"A sense of painful surprise will be felt in academic circles at the news, which we publish this morning, of the death on Sunday night of Mr. H. C. Goodhart. Professor of Humanity at Edinburgh University. He had been ill for six weeks t his residence, 2 Drumsheugh Gardens, a victim of the insidious complications following an attack of influenza; but those who knew his robust frame and manly vigour could scarcely have been prepared for a fatal termination of his malady. Four years ago he came to Edinburgh with a reputation for scholarship and successful teaching which justified the prediction that the traditions of the chair which Professor Sellar adorned would be safe in his hands. His death, so near the beginning of a brilliant career, has in it something of the tragic; and it is probably not too much to say that it has caused a loss not only to Edinburgh University, but to classical learning at large.
 "Professor Harry Chester Goodhart was in his thirty-seventh year. On the father's side, he was descended from an old line of clergy, his grandfather on that side, the Rev. Charles Joseph Goodhart, rector of Wetherden, in Suffolk, having but recently died. His maternal grandfather, Mr. George Murray, had, at one time, a connection with Edinburgh as headmaster at the Edinburgh Institution. He afterwards set up a school at Wimbledon, where he was joined by Mr. C. W. Goodhart, father of Professor Goodhart, and where in 1858 Professor Goodhart was born. At an early age he went to Eton as a King's scholar, and from the outset there his career was one of remarkable promise. He was a brilliant athlete as well as a good scholar. At Eton he was for two years in the cricket eleven. At Cambridge his prowess as a footballer gained for him in 1882 a place in the International Association team. He was one of the most brilliant of tennis players of the University, both of lawn tennis and of the Royal game. When he came to Scotland he took with ready enthusiasm to golf. In his own person he exhibited that happy development of the mental and physical powers which is the ideal of education."
