In 1850 he obtained a classical exhibition, and in 1852 a scholarship at the University of London, whence, after taking the degree of B.A., he passed to Trinity College, Cambridge. There, in 1852, he took (with other prizes) the Chancellor's Prize in English verse, and graduated in first-class classical honours in 1854. In the same year he entered Holy Orders, and was subsequently for some time an assistant master at Harrow School. In 1871 he was appointed to the head mastership of Marlborough College, which he held until 1876, when he was nominated a Canon of Westminster Abbey and Rector of St. Margaret's, Westminster. He had previously been chosen Select Preacher before the University of Cambridge in 1868, and again in 1874, 1875, and Hulsean Lecturer in 1870. He was also appointed in 1869 a Chaplain to the Queen, and in 1883, Archdeacon of Westminster. Archdeacon Farrar has achieved a high reputation both as a writer and a preacher. He is the author of some volumes of fiction for the young which soon attained great popularity, as well as of several important works in the departments of philology and theology. Of the latter, his Life of Christ and Life and Work of St. Paul are the best known. As a preacher, Archdeacon Farrar stands in the first rank as a master of graceful eloquence. His contributions to hymnody include, "Father, before Thy throne of light," "God and Father, great and holy," and a beautiful carol, "In the fields with their flocks abiding."
