"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream."

"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one."
– C.S. Lewis


Clive Staples Lewis arrived in Oxford on 26 April 1917, to attend University College; his roommate and best friend was Paddy Moore. That November, both Lewis and Moore volunteered to serve in the British Army and were sent to France to fight in World War I; sadly, Paddy Moore, did not return home, he was killed in battle in March 1918.

Lewis was wounded and hospitalized; he returned to Oxford on January 13, 1919 after the armistice was signed; he resumed his studies at University College in August 1919 and excelled in a number of subjects: he received a First in Honor Moderations (1920), a First in Greats (1922) and a First in English (1923); and from 1924-25, Lewis served as a philosophy tutor at University College.

In 1925, Lewis was elected fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford University; where he served as a tutor in English language and literature for 29 years. In 1954, he was appointed to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Magdalene College, Cambridge University.
