Matriculated at Magdalene college in 1856; 8th Wrangler (1861). He spent his entire adult life in Magdalene, as a Fellow from 1861, Librarian (1863), Tutor from 1865, and President from 1876 until his untimely death at the age of 59 in 1896. He was suddenly taken ill while dining with his old friend Henry Latham, the Master of Trinity Hall, ‘and expired in a few minutes’ [Venn, J., and Venn, J. A., Alumni Cantabrigienses; a biographical list of all known students, graduates and holders of office at the University of Cambridge, from the earliest times to 1900]. According to family tradition, Pattrick expected to become Master in succession to Latimer Neville (‘Binkie’/Pattrick, F. G. Twenty-Thirty: An Autobiography of this Decade of my Life (St Ives, Cambs, 1986) p 5).
