a bit suspicious about the information in this article. The
OUS<BR>wasn't founded until 1872. J.E. Troyte, of Christ Church,
who was the<BR>first Master of the society, was an undergraduate at the time,
so it<BR>seems unlikely that he was a colonel. There is no reference to
the Duke<BR>of Albany in the OUS archives or in John Spice's 'History of the
OUS'.<BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>

<DIV>Most probably you are right to be suspicious about the article . The Duke
of Albany who was Victoria's youngest son was a haemophiliac and it is
unlikely that HM would have permitted him to learn ringing skills . He died in
1883 .</DIV>
