Evidence for Cambridge?

edit

@Suslindisambiguator: Do you know what is your evidence for this author to have been at Cambridge? I have searched ACAD, and manually double-checked Alumni Cantabrigenses, and he is not mentioned. The 1911 Census he cites that he has a Master of Arts and A/Secretary of the Syndics of the Univ Press, Cambridge, but that is not conclusive either. — billinghurst sDrewth 13:15, 20 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Got hold of his obituary in the Times, and it states that his M.A. is honorary. There is no mention of any tertiary education. I will transcribe his obit and attach it to his Wikisource author page. — billinghurst sDrewth 13:30, 20 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
