Speech Day at Wellington College: distinguished visitors, 1898. 'Lord Rosebery, Duke of Cambridge, Duke of Wellington, Archbishop of Canterbury, Duke of Connaught, Prince of Wales, Prince Christian, Bishop of Oxford. Saturday, June 18, was the annual Speech Day...A special train conveyed the visitors to the school, and parents and boys lunched in the gymnasium. After lunch the principal ceremony took place in a large and beautifully decorated marquee. The Prince of Wales, President of the College, drove over from Bracknell to preside, and his Royal Highness was supported by the Vice-President, Colonel the Hon. Sir W. P. Talbot, and a goodly and distinguished following of Governors, including Prince Christian, the Duke of Connaught, the Duke of Cambridge, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Rosebery, the Bishops of Winchester and Oxford, and many others. The Head Master, the Rev. B. Pollock, opened the proceedings with a speech of welcome, and thereafter the Prince of Wales presented the prizes, with the exception of those offered by the Duke of Wellington and the Archbishop of Canterbury, who presented their own awards. The Prince told the boys that they could not do better than follow in the footsteps of Arthur, Duke of Wellington.' From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
