About this Item

Title

  • In Memoriam. An Address, on the Occasion of the Service in Memory of Queen Victoria, February 2, 1901.

Summary

  • "In Memoriam" is an address delivered by Alfred R. Tucker (1849--1914), bishop of Uganda, in the Cathedral Church of Saint Paul, Mengo, Uganda, on February 2, 1901, on the occasion of the service in memory of Queen Victoria, who had died on January 22. Tucker thanked God for Victoria's "life and noble example," her "wise and sympathetic rule," and "that high and holy courage with which she bore the burdens of state." Victoria's reign, he concluded, "will stand out as the brightest and most glorious page in our national story." Victoria was born in 1819 and became queen in 1837. She reigned for 63 years, longer than any other British monarch. Her passing was mourned throughout the British Empire, which reached the height of its power under her reign. The address is from a bound compilation of ten documents relating to the early history of the Anglican Church in Uganda in the library of Uganda Christian University at Mukono, near Kampala. The university was founded in 1997 by the Anglican Church of Uganda and incorporates Bishop Tucker Theological College, founded in 1913.
