When Joyce first rewrote this chapter (from Stephen Hero) in 1907, Dedalus was temporarily renamed 'Stephen Daly' and the chapter 'began at a railway station [heading for Clongowes, surely] like most college stories; there were three companions in it, and a sister who dies by way of pathos.' [e264] (it seems improbable the death would have happened in ch1-- the timescheme of SH would have put it in ch5-- so the companions may have been later too)
'EC' is named in Stephen Hero as 'Emma Clery' and has been identified by Peter Costello with a University student named Mary Elizabeth Cleary. (But Mary Sheehy and others also contributed features.)

Around 1900, £33 would have been a small fortune, comparable to over $3000 today [prices]
Joyce modelled Arnall's sermon very closely [compare] [no-frames] on a book written in 1688 called Hell Opened to Christians by the Italian Jesuit, Pinamonti: [Bibliofind]
To some extent, the sermon is a full survey of human psychology as viewed from the point-of-view of ultimate suffering:
"I have learnt to arrange things in such a way that they become easy to survey and to judge... how to gather, how to order and how to present a given material." --JAJ on his schooling with the Jesuits
It inspired Thomas Merton [EB] to convert to Catholicism, but was also reprinted in an anthology of Irish horror stories. [Bibliofind]
Joyce's 1904 notes for Stephen Hero place the retreat in chapter 11: [more]
August 1893 to December 1893
1) Sensations coming home. 2) Gradual irreligiousness (Epiphany of Thornton) 3) Return to Belvedere: in second class: prefect at sodality: Fr MacNally. 4) Retreat before feast of S. Francis Xavier. Six lectures 1) Introductory, evening before 1st Day 2) Death } 2nd 3) Judgment } Day 4) Hell } 3rd 5) Hell } Day (Epiphany of Hell) 6) Heaven morning after 4th Day [WoD68]

In letters to his brother, Joyce called the birdgirl 'Lucy'. He says of an earlier version: "Stephen's change of mind is not effected by that sight as you seem to think, but it is that small event so regarded which expresses the change. His first skin falls." (to SJ 2-7-05, SL52)

This 1902 pic shows Joyce's University classmates and professors: Back row: Fr O'Neill (English and German), JAJ, O'Sullivan, Kinahan ('Moynihan' in PoA), Clandillon, Semple. Middle row: Clancy ('Davin'), Fr Hogan, Prof Cadic (French), Fr Darlington (dean of studies, 'Butt'). Front row: Hackett, O'Kelly, Michael Lennon, Curran.)
Curran [cpc24] says the physics class would have been Prof Stewart's in 1899-1900 (and would not have mixed electricity and dynamics as J does)
Info: hurling; Kentish fire; 1899 peace conference; WT Stead
Etext: Shelley
Joyce apparently got his lyrical-epical-dramatic distinction from this 1902 preface by Yeats. Curran [cpc36] suggests JAJ found Aquinas's integritas-consonantia-claritas reference in Rickaby's General Metaphysics which Byrne would have used in philosophy class.
The memory in ch2 of Emma after the Xmas party is repeated in ch5: [compare]
The 'Vilanelle of the Temptress' seems to be inspired partly by Walter Pater's description of the 'Mona Lisa' [info]
