"The first, was Charles Lister, scholar of Eton with double first in ’Greats’ at Balliol. a great scholar, who would have risen to any position in the Foreign Office. The second was Patrick Shaw Stewart, an equally great scholar, probably one of the greatest classical scholars at Oxford for 100 years. The third was the national poet, Rupert Brooke.”
