7. 1873: Photograph of the students of Exeter College, Oxford in 1873. From Exeter College, Oxford. Kenneth Blyth and family have been unable to identify Frederick Gordon Bluett Campbell for certain but Kenneth Blyth state the following:
"As for the Exeter College group photo, my sister Alison and her family, going on old very faded photos of Gordon when older, and her memories of his daughter Mooie, think Gordon is most likely to have been the figure sitting in the front row, about five from the left as you look at it, hands clasped round his crossed legs, looking down, dark hair with a centre parting, and a hat on his lap. I'm not totally convinced, but am prepared to agree it's a possibility. I don't know whether you'd want to mention that character as possibly being Gordon, rather than suggesting the Blyths have absolutely no idea!"
