THE CAMBRIDGE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY. “Adam Sedgwick (1785–1873) and John Stevens Henslow (1796–1861). Both men were aware that the study of the sciences in their University was largely moribund. Although there were professors of both botany and geology at Cambridge, and post-Newtonian mathematics was flourishing, the sciences…were a “peripheral activity”. The purpose of the University was primarily as a training ground for clerics.”
