When Joyce had finished Ch18 he predicted "The U. College episode will take about ten chapters" [SL58, 15Mar 1905] but by 27May [L2-90] that had grown to eleven.

Fr Webster
Fr Dillon
Miles Davin
James Brennan
Matthew Lister
Thomas Nash
Oliver Flanagan
Patrick Hoey
Owen Hoey
Annie Hoey
Mostly University friends. [pic] [school]

Father Dillon in SH is the President of the University, who at first censors Stephen's speech on Drama and Life. Webster likely became Father Butt (real name Joseph Darlington). 50yo in 1901

Davin here was George Clancy in life, Madden in SH and Ulysses, and Davin again in the Trieste Portrait. 20yo in 1901, 30yo in 1911



Brennan is probably Jeff Byrne, Cranly in SH, the Trieste Portrait, and Ulysses. Ellmann's Plate V shows Joyce, Byrne, and Clancy posed as a group. [lo-res]

Lister might be Cosgrave/Lynch, or SH's Wells, Whelan, Temple, or Glynn. (or Lister?)

Thomas Nash survives in the Mullingar chapter of SH, where it appears he was Stephen's enemy at Belvedere-- in the Trieste Portrait he holds Stephen's arms in the fight with Heron and Boland. (So why is he not in the list with Heron?)

Flanagan is surely Gogarty (Goggins in the Trieste Portrait, Mulligan in Ulysses), and is mentioned by Temple as a new name at SH25 p225.

The Hoeys may be the Sheehys, called the Daniels in SH. Annie Daniel is called the oldest, ie Hanna Sheehy, appropriately being courted by Skeffington/McCann.

Missing here, present in SH: Father Moran (whose name was taken from Nora's personal history)


John ?Butter
William Judge
Joseph Magennis
John Andrews
Christopher McCann  [Skeffington?]
Hon Mrs Ambrose
James MacCormack
Many gaps here! These seem to be University-or-later, but not James's friends.

Magennis was a University professor who encouraged James, and appears in Ulysses.

Philip McCann was Joyce's godfather's real name, but he becomes Fulham in SH. Phil McCann in SH is Skeffington.

MacCormack may be the singer (John) who James visited in March 1904, and shared a platform with in August. (If so, the naming here is interesting!)
Missing: Hughes the Irish teacher; Artifoni
Also: Colum, Thomas Kelly the millionaire, Russell, Yeats, Lady Gregory, Eglinton, Archer, Kettle, the Sheehy boys
