Abstract
THE lamented death on February 16 of Dr. James Gow, formerly headmaster of Westminster School, and author of “A Short History of Greek Mathematics,” calls for notice in NATURE. Educated at Ring's College School, Gow went to Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1871, and was 3rd Classic and Chancellor's classical medallist in 1875. He was elected fellow?? Trinity in 1876, the year in which it was observed as a curiosity that the four fellows of Trinity then elected all had monosyllabic names and mustered no more than fifteen letters between them: Cox, Hicks, Lord, Gow. Three of them, including Gow, rowed for the historic Second Trinity Boat Club, now extinct.
