In addition, he became Provost of Eton in 1596. However Savile is most famous for founding two chairs at Oxford in 1619. Savile said that he established the Chairs to remedy the fact that geometry is almost totally unknown and abandoned in England He gave the first geometry lecture himself. The Savilian chair of Geometry was first occupied by Briggs . Many famous mathematicians have held the chair. The second chair was the Savilian chair of Astronomy.

RICHARD EEDES GILES TOMSON This good man was a native of "famous London town." In 1571, he entered University College, Oxford and, in 1580, was elected Fellow of All Souls' College. A few years later, he was out in a shower of appointments, "with his dish right side up." He was, at that lucky season, made divinity lecturer in Magdalen College; chaplain to Queen Elizabeth, as was his friend, Dr. Richard Eedes; Prebendary of Repington; Canon residentiary of Hereford; and Rector of Pembridge in Herefordshire. He was a most eminent preacher. He became Doctor in Divinity in 1602; and was, in that year, appointed Dean of Windsor. In virtue of this latter office, he acted as Registrar of the most noble Order of the Garter. Dr. Tomson took a great deal of pains in his part of translation of the Bible, which he did not long survive. He was consecrated Bishop of Gloucester, June 9th, 1611; and a year after, June 14th, 1612, he died, at the age of fifty-nine, "to the great grief of all who knew the piety and learning of the man." Man is like the flower, whose full bloom is the signal for decay to begin. It is singular that Bishop Tomson never visited Gloucester, after his election to that see. HENRY SAVILE Some have doubted whether the "Mr. Savile," on the list of Translators, was the renowned scholar afterwards known as Sir Henry Savile, but the matter is put beyond doubt by Anthony Wood and others. Savile was born at Bradley, in Yorkshire, November 30th, 1549, "of ancient and worshipful extraction." He graduated at Brazen Nose College, Oxford; but afterwards became a Fellow of Merton College. In 1570, he read his ordinaries on the Almagest of Ptolemy, a collection of the geometrical and astronomical observations and problems of the ancients. By this exercise he very early became famous for his Greek and mathematical learning, in this latter science, he for some time read voluntary lectures.

Henry Savile Sir Henry Savile, knight, was born in Yorkshire. He was a younger, or son of a younger, brother, not born to a foot of land He came to Merton College, Oxford; he was made warden there. He was a learned gentleman, as most of his time He would fain have been thought (I have heard Mr Hobbes say) to have been as great a scholar as Joseph Scaliger. But as for mathematics, I have heard Dr Wallis say that he looked on him to be as able a mathematician as any of his time. He was an extraordinarily handsome and beautiful man; no lady had a finer complexion. Queen Elizabeth favoured him much; (he read (I think) Greek and politics to her): he was also preferred to be provost of Eton College. He was a very severe governor, the scholars hated him for his austerity. He could not abide wits: when a young scholar was recommended to him for a good wit, 'Out upon him, I'll have nothing to do with him; give me the plodding student. If I would look for wits I would go to Newgate, there be the wits'; and John Earles (afterwards Bishop of Salisbury) was the only scholar that ever he took as recommended for a wit, which was from Dr Goodwyn, of Christ Church. He was not only a severe governor, but old Mr Yates (who was fellow in his time) would make lamentable complaints of him to his dying day, that he did oppress the fellows grievously, and he was so great and a favourite to the queen that there was no dealing with him,. his fault was that he was too much inflated with his learning and riches.

SIR HENRY SAVILE, KNT Some have doubted whether the “Mr. Savile,” on the list of Translators, was the renowned scholar afterwards known as Sir Henry Savile. But the matter is put beyond doubt by Anthony Wood and others. Savile was born at Bradley, in Yorkshire, November 30th, 1549, “of ancient and worshipful extraction.” He graduated at Brazen Nose College, Oxford; but afterwards became a Fellow of Merton College. In 1570, he read his ordinaries on the Almagest of Ptolemy, a collection of the geometrical and astronomical observations and problems of the ancients. By this exercise he very early became famous for his Greek and mathematical learning. In this latter science, he for some time read voluntary lectures. In his twenty-ninth year, he travelled in France and elsewhere, to perfect himself in literature; and returned highly accomplished in learning, languages, and knowledge of the world and men. He then became tutor in Greek and mathematics to Queen Elizabeth, whose father, Henry VIII., is said by Southey to have set the example of giving to daughters a learned education. It is to her highest honor, that when she had been more than twenty years upon the throne, she still kept up her habits of study, as appears by this appointment of Mr. Savile. In 1686, he was made Warden of Merton College, which office he filled with great credit for six and thirty years, and also to the great prosperity of the institution. Ten years later, he added to this office, that of Provost of Eton College, which school rapidly increased in reputation under him. “Thus,” as Fuller says, “this skilful gardener had, at the same time, a nursery of young plants, and an orchard of grown trees, both flourishing under his careful inspection.” He was no admirer of geniuses; but preferred diligence to wit. “Give me,” he used to say “the plodding student. If I would look for wits, I would go to Newgate; there be the wits!” As might be expected, he was somewhat unpopular with his scholars, on account of the severity with which he urged them to diligence.

It is worth noting, however, that twenty years later, when Savile was trying to make sure his subject received proper funding, he argued for mathematics because of its practical uses. It is interesting to read Savile's comments in these lectures on why he felt that mathematics at that time was not flourishing. Students did not understand the importance of the subject, Savile wrote, there were no teachers to explain the difficult points, the texts written by the leading mathematicians of the day were not studied, and no overall approach to the teaching of mathematics had been formulated. Of course, as we shall see below, fifty years later Savile tried to rectify these shortcomings by setting up two chairs at the University of Oxford.

Sir Henry Savile Born at Bradley Hall Stainland , son of Henry Savile He went to Merton College, Oxford, and became a scholar and benefactor, and tutor of mathematics, Greek and Latin to Queen Elizabeth I At Oxford, he was a student of geometry and astronomy. In 1619, Savile founded a Chair of Geometry at Oxford because geometry is almost totally unknown and abandoned in England . After giving the first lectures himself, he asked Briggs to take the post. He was said to be the most learned man of the times, and published many translations from Latin and Greek. He was knighted by James I in 1604. After a disagreement between the University and local builders in 1608, he brought masons John Akroyd and John Bentley from Halifax to build the Fellows' Quadrangle at Merton College, and to finish his extensions to the Bodleian Library. He worked as a translator on the New Testament of the Authorised Version of the Bible He was steward of the Honour of Pontefract and a rival of Sir Richard Tempest in the Wakefield-Pontefract feud He died at Eton College , and he was buried in the chapel there Malcolm Bull 2004 / MalcolmBullTraining@hotmail.com
