History
Master of Magdalene College, 1925 - 1947
A schoolmaster at Eton, 1895-1925. Vice-Chancellor, 1929-1931. The antithesis of A. C. Benson in many ways, and ever the schoolmaster (he even retired into a preparatory school), he was more highly regarded by the Fellows than by the undergraduates. He had some facility as a Latin versifier.
