In 1877 he was elected Principal. During his time as Principal, he was heavily engaged in disputes about proposed new statutes for the college that were considered by their opponents to have an adverse effect on the links between the college and Wales. He died in 1895 after a prolonged period of ill-health. [Baker, "Jesus College", pp.91-3]
