Subsequently, Seeley was a master at his old school in London until, in 1863, he was appointed professor of Latin at University College, London.[4] He was made Regius Professor of Modern History, Cambridge, in 1869.[5] He described himself as a Liberal in politics, but a Radical in education; he made important contributions to education reform, including the admission of women into the ancient universities.[1][2] His later essay on Natural Religion, signed "by the Author of Ecce Homo," which denied that supernaturalism is essential to religion and maintained that the negations of science tend to purify rather than destroy Christianity, satisfied few and excited far less interest than his earlier work.[7] In 1869, he was appointed professor of modern history at the University of Cambridge.
