Ward is described by his son and biographer as somewhat unequally gifted by nature
.
For pure See also:mathematics he had a See also:special See also:gift—almost a See also:passion
.
For history, applied mathematics—for anything, in fact, outside the exact sciences—he See also:felt something approaching to contempt
.
He was endowed with a strong sense of See also:humour and a love of See also:paradox carried to an extreme
.
He went up to See also:Christ See also:- CHURCH

Oxford, in 183o, but his See also:father's subsequent pecuniary embarrassments compelled him in 1833 to try for a scholarship at See also:Lincoln See also:College, which he succeeded in obtaining
.
His examination for mathematical honours exhibited some of the peculiarities of his See also:character and See also:mental See also:powers
.
Four out of his five papers on applied mathematics were sent up absolutely See also:blank
.
Honours, however, were not refused him, and in 1834 he obtained an open fellowship at Balliol
.
In the previous See also:year the Tractarian See also:movement had commenced, and Ward's relations with that movement were as See also:original as the See also:rest of his See also:life
.
He was attracted to it by his
hatred of moderation and what he called " respectability " in any shape—a characteristic of which some amusing instances have been handed down
.
He was repelled from it by the conception he had formed of the character of See also:Newman, whom he regarded as a See also:mere See also:antiquary
.
When, however, he was at length persuaded by a friend to go and hear Newman preach, he at once became a See also:disciple
.
But he had, as Newman afterwards said of him, " struck into the movement at an See also:angle." He had no See also:taste for See also:historical investigations
.
He treated the question at issue as one of pure See also:logic, and disliking the Reformers, the right of private See also:judgment which Protestants claimed, and the somewhat prosaic uniformity of the English Church, he flung himself into a See also:general See also:campaign against Protestantism in general and the See also:Anglican See also:form of it in particular
.
He nevertheless took See also:deacon's orders in 1838 and See also:priest's orders in 184o
.
In 1839 Ward became the editor of the See also:British Critic, the See also:organ of the Tractarian party, and he excited suspicion among the adherents of the Tractarians themselves by his violent denunciations of the Church to which he still belonged
.
In 1841 he urged the publication of the celebrated " See also:Tract XC.," and wrote in See also:defence of it
.
From that See also:period Ward and his associates worked undisguisedly for See also:union with the Church of See also:Rome, and in 1844 he published his Ideal of a See also:Christian Church, in which he openly contended that the only See also:hope for the Church of See also:England See also:lay in submission to the Church of Rome
.
This publication brought to a height the See also:storm which had See also:long been gathering
.
The university of Oxford was invited, on the 13th of See also:February 1845, to condemn " Tract XC.," to censure the Ideal, and to degrade Ward from his degrees
.
The two latter propositions were carried and " Tract XC." only escaped censure by the non placet of the proctors, Guillemard and Church
.
The condemnation precipitated an See also:exodus to Rome
.
Ward See also:left the Church of England in See also:September 1845, and was followed by many others, including Newman himself
.
After his reception into the Church of Rome, Ward gave himself up to See also:ethics, See also:metaphysics and moral See also:philosophy
.
He wrote articles on See also:free will, the philosophy of See also:theism, on See also:science, See also:prayer and miracles for the See also:Dublin See also:Review
.
He also dealt with the condemnation of See also:Pope See also:Honorius, carried on a controversial See also:correspondence with See also:John See also:Stuart See also:- MILL
