It was currently reported all the half that Williamson was about to leave & so it proved, which he first made public at the Westr dinner. He gave us his reasons that the low state of the school & he said some seemed to think he was in the way of its rising and as great changes in College were about to take place he thought it would be best to retire & give them a fair chance with a new head Master, his resignation was received and he bade us a final (as master) adieu on the last day of the term.
