Elected a fellow of King's College Cambridge 1888.

"It was principally Wedd and Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson who created the atmosphere of inspiration and individuality that dominated the college at the turn of the century. Wedd, according to an obituary, had the 'gift of winning the confidence of the most reserved....He understood undergraduates of all kinds and cared to see only their merits, of which he was always the first and sometimes the only discoverer; and once he knew his man, he knew exactly how best to help and stimulate him.' As his tutor, Wedd was a direct influence on the author E.M. Forster, who credited him with 'such awakening as has befallen me'. The King's that Wedd helped to create shaped both Rupert Brooke and J.M. Keynes." - http://janus.lib.cam.ac.uk
