I will say no more. Posterity must decide his place) in the hierarchy of scholarship. I venture to think that he will occupy a position beside his friend, H. A. J. Munro, as one of the great luminaries among English students of the Latin Poets in the nineteenth century.
I now turn to the subject of this lecture. I fear that it is somewhat technical in character, and possibly many of my hearers might have wished that I had selected some theme of more general interest. I can only plead in defence that it is difficult to say anything which is at all new upon a literary subject, while in the field of criticism there are some interesting developments.

Excerpt from Recent Developments in Textual Criticism: An Inaugural Lecture Delivered Before the University on June 6, 1914
The first duty which I have to discharge on the present occasion is to refer, however shortly, to the great scholar who has passed away. Professor Ellis was so well known in Oxford that I can leave much unsaid. There is, however, one aspect of his character which may not be so familiar to many of my audience as it was to myself. I refer to his power of making friends and keeping them. I feel that I have some right to speak on this subject since I first made his acquaintance some thirty-five years ago, and our friendship was never dimmed by any cloud. Most of Robinson Ellis's friends had been at one time his pupils. It may at first seem strange that one who seemed to move in a world of his own, who was so absent-minded and so short-sighted, should have been able to secure the affection of undergraduates for so many generations. The secret of his power lay in the fact that he liked young men, and that they never felt shy with him. This was due to his simplicity, his want of reserve and his physical infirmities. He had a confiding way of taking a young friend by the arm, as if in need of support, while he complained of his lameness and weak sight, which made his companion conscious that he too had something to give.
