St Asaph's Cathedral in 1897, but died before he was installed.[1]
In 1872, Thomas was elected to a
John Rhys, who had become the university's first professor of Celtic.[1] The 1895 election to the principalship developed into a battle between the "church element" and the "non-conformist element", and Rhys (a non-conformist) came out on top.[4]
He contracted pneumonia in May 1897, dying on 12 May at the age of fifty-seven. He was buried in Llanbeblig cemetery, Caernarfon, alongside his father, after a Welsh-language choral funeral service.[1]
