    MC:F42 Papers of Stephen Grosvenor Lee (Fellow 1920-47)

    Stephen Grosvenor Lee (1889-1962), known to all as “Luggins”, was first a Commoner at Magdalen in 1908-11, but came back here as a Lecturer in 1913-14. After serving in the First World War, he was briefly an assistant master at Cheltenham College, before returning to Magdalen for good as Fellow and Tutor in Modern History at Magdalen from 1920-47. He held many College offices, in particular that of acting Home Bursar in 1939-46. Two of his sons went to Magdalen, John (C. 1937-9) and Roger (C. 1938-41). Both served in the Second World War, John as a soldier and Roger as a doctor, but John was killed in 1944.

    The only papers specifically to come from Lee in Magdalen archives relate to his friendship with HIH Prince Chichibu (1902-53), the younger brother of Emperor Hirohito, who came up to Magdalen for one term in 1926.

    Recatalogued in June 2011.
