The Rev. Dr. Jex-Blake, Head Master of Rugby School, 1874. Engraving from a photograph by Mr. A. G. Tod. 'The circumstances under which the head mastership of Rugby School became vacant, by the dismissal of the Rev. Dr. Hayman, on account of the quarrel between him and the assistant masters, have been discussed in a court of law. The Rev. Thomas William Jex-Blake, D.D., Principal of Cheltenham College, who has been chosen by the Governing Body of Rugby Head Master of that school, in the place of Dr. Hayman, was born in the year 1832. Another of the same family is Miss Sophia Jex-Blake, who has taken a leading part in promoting the higher education of women. He entered Rugby School, in 1844, as a pupil of the late Bishop of Calcutta. From Rugby he was, in 1851, elected to an open scholarship at University College, Oxford, where the present Dean of Westminster was tutor. Mr. Jex-Blake took his Bachelor's degree in 1855, obtaining a first class in classical honours...He was ordained Deacon in 1856, and admitted into Priest's orders in the following year. He held an assistant mastership at Rugby...for several years previous to his appointment, in 1868, to the Headship of Cheltenham College'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
