Novelist and poet, the doyen of English letters by the time of his election as an Honorary Fellow in 1913, the first in a notable succession of leading figures in literature and the arts with no previous connection with the College, and into which it was recorded that he entered ‘cordially and sympathetically’ (College Magazine, No. 15, 1914, p. 245). Benson had long been acquainted with him.
