C.S. Lewis was appointed the first Professor of Medieval & Renaissance English at Cambridge and moved from Magdalen College, Oxford, to take up the position in 1954. He was made a Professorial Fellow of Magdalene College in 1954, and he had rooms in First Court. He was made an Honorary Fellow in 1963 and died on 22 November 1963. A Memorial Service was held in the Chapel..

He described his move as a 'great success' and described Magdalene in the following terms:
‘My new college is a smaller, softer, more gracious place than my old. The mental and social atmosphere is like the sunny side of a wall in an old garden'; ‘A tiny little place … but a perfect gem architecturally and (I think) much more congenial socially and spiritually.’

See Walter Hooper (ed)., Collected Letters, 3 vols. (2000-2006), esp. Vol. III 'Narnia, Cambridge & Joy, 1950-1963'.
In addition to the letters in this archive, Hooper prints his ‘Easter hymn’ (F/FT/3); a letter about Canon Tibbats; and a letter about the possible deposit of Kipling’s papers in the College (p. 1261, 4 May 1961).

For other letters of College interest, see W.H. Lewis (ed) Letters of C.S. Lewis , p. 289 (Lady Willink's death), p. 293 (unexpurgated Pepys), and p. 308 (Hon. Fellowship).

Most of C.S. Lewis's papers are held in the Bodleian Library in Oxford.

In 1539 Crowland Abbey was dissolved and its land, including that on which Buckingham College stood, were forfeit to the Crown.

In 1542, Thomas, Lord Audley, the Lord Chancellor, asked the King (Henry VIII) to found a new College on the site. Audley would name it, issue its Statutes and endow it. Letters Patent were issued by Henry on 3 April 1542.

The original Letters Patent issued to the College and the corresponding privy seal warrant retained by the Crown have both been lost and, because the grant was never entered onto the Patent Roll, no contemporary copy of the grant survives. The text does survive in numerous copies including in the 'Old Book'. There is also a later copy [MCBG/1/1].

Lord Audley never in his lifetime referred to himself as the 'founder' of Magdalene. His widow, Lady Elizabeth Audley, referred to herself as 'fundatrix' of the College in the original Statutes of 1555. From that time on Audley's heirs have claimed their ancestor to be the founder and principal benefactor of Magdalene.

Statutes are the regulations governing University business and the management of Colleges.

The College's 'foundation charter' of 1542 laid down that Lord Audley and his heirs should write the statutes to cover the governance of the College. Lord Audley died in 1544 and as nothing had been achieved he wrote in his will that his executors should draw up the statutes. His executors were Lady Elizabeth Audley, Edward Lord North, Sir Thomas Pope, Thomas Barber, and Edmund Martyn and they delivered the statutes on 10 February 1555.

In 1565 the foundation statutes were corrected and additions made. This was done on the original statutes rather than on a separate clean document. They were sent to the Master and Fellows by the then Visitor, Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk on 24 January 1565.

The 1565 Latin statutes were not superseded until a new set was written in 1860. Since then there have been revisions in 1882, 1926, 1957 and 1997.
