Robert Johnson: 'His bright intellect, and earnest spirit carried him easily over educational difficulties, and his teacher formed the highest hopes for him.' . . . . 'The distinguished position he took as a student in the Mico and University College pointed him out as exceptionally qualified for the onerous duties of the scholastic profession.' . . . . 'Mr. Barclay was at once an easy and a difficult student to teach: easy because he could see things so quickly and grasp them so firmly: difficult because he thought he could get to the bottom of all mysteries and expected to get there at a single bound.'
