        Michael took a warm interest in the student body and knew many students personally. He was interested in all student activities but in particular, he took a special interest in College music and sports, compiling the list of College Blues and Half Blues for publication in the College Magazine each year. His memory for and eager interest in every individual he met, his wide range of interests, from rugby to choral music, his unobtrusive but profound kindness, his unruffled enthusiasm and good humour, all this and more made him universally loved.
