Since 1861, when, being an Examiner, he could have no pupils, the Senior Wrangler was every year his pupil, viz., twenty-one times, besides twice before that date. This success is without precedent. In 1855 Mr. Routh wrote a book in conjunction with Lord Brougham. In 1859 he was appointed Examiner in Mathematics in the University of London, and, after the necessary interval of a year, he held the office for a second quinquennial period (1865-70). Soon after his graduation he was elected a member of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, of the Geological Society, and of the Royal Geographical Society; subsequently he became a member of the Astronomical Society and a Fellow of the Royal Society. He is also an original member of the London Mathematical Society, having been one of those who helped to establish it. In 1860 he was Moderator, and in 1861 Examiner, for the Mathematical Tripos at Cambridge. In 1864 he married the eldest daughter of Sir G. B. Airy, the late Astronomer-Royal. In 1867 he gained the Adams Prize for his essay on the Stability of Motion. The honorary degree of LL.D. was conferred upon him in 1879 by the University of Glasgow. He was elected an honorary Fellow of Peterhouse Nov. 6, 1883. Mr. Routh has written a book on "Rigid Dynamics" (4th edit. 1882), and has contributed numerous papers on mathematical subjects to the Mathematical Messenger, the Quarterly Journal of Mathematics, the Proceedings of the Royal Society, and the volumes of the London Mathematical Society.
