Excerpt from The Eagle, 1901-1902, Vol. 50 HE first group of documents here printed refer to the case of Richard Wadeson, a Fellow of the College. He was a son of Richard Wadeson, a Westmoreland farmer, and was admitted to the College from Sedbergh School 26 May 1756. He took his degree as a Senior Optime in the Mathematical Tripos 'of 1760, and was admitted a Foundress' Fellow 22 March 1763, in which year he also proceeded to the m.a. Degree. He was ordained Deacon by the Lord Bishop of London 17 June 1764. He did not take Priest's Orders for some time. By the College Statutes he ought to have done so within six years of his m.a. Degree. It is not quite clear how this oversight came to the knowledge of the College. Probably Wadeson wished to proceed to the b.d. Degree, as all Fellows of the College at that time were obliged to do; this degree he took in 1771. When the result of the neglect was discovered, Wadeson seems to have taken immediate steps to repair it. He obtained Letters Dimissory from the Archbishop of Canterbury to be ordained Priest by the Bishop of Lincoln. The entry in the Act Book of the Archbishop is not dated, vol XXIII. B.
