and took part in the first match (score 1–1 draw) of the 1876 FA Cup Final at Kennington Oval, which they ultimately lost after a replay to Wanderers when his place in team was taken by Edgar Lubbock.In the short time he held this position he did much for the college, including the creation and institution of its school song Pueri Alleynienses which is still in use today.As bishop, then metropolitan of Calcutta, he excluded Scottish chaplains and troops from the use of garrison churches in India because they had not received episcopal consecration, an action for which he was criticised by Robert Herbert Story.[6] He remained diocesan until early 1902 when he resigned owing to ill health and disagreement with the Viceroy, Lord Curzon.[4] He was a lifelong bachelor, and for nearly fifty years had the close companionship of a manservant, Edward Hudson Perkins, from whose death in 1932 Welldon never recovered.); But he must be refined, he must be meek, Expert at his job, yet unable to speak, He must not complain or use swear words or spit; Much is expected of men in the pit.I needn't be meek, Because I have learned the proper technique; Because I'm a scholar, a don, and a dean, It's all in good taste when I'm vulgar or mean.
