Excerpt from Horae Latinae: Studies in Synonyms And Syntax

Though Dr. Ogilvie had no prolonged training in Classics before he entered Marischal College, Aberdeen, the few months' tuition that he enjoyed under Dr. Melvin, Hector of the Aberdeen Grammar School, inspired him with the interest that he ever after felt, especially in. The nice discrimination of Latin words, and in the collection and collation of examples illustrating their usages. 'hile, how ever, he distinguished himself in Classics at the University, yet most of his energy was devoted to the study of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, in which he stood always first. He gained Gray's Mathematical Bursary of £60, and was also awarded the Silver Medal, the Gold Medal being won by his distinguished classfellow, now Principal Miller, D.D., LL.D., just promoted to be Vice C-hancellor of the University of Madras.
