What was the name of the Oxford college where C.S. Lewis was a fellow for decades?

C.S. Lewis was a fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford, for decades.

Lewis became a Fellow and Tutor in English at Magdalen College in 1925. He remained there until 1954, teaching students and developing the academic reputation that accompanied his literary career. The college’s medieval buildings, gardens, and walks became closely associated with his Oxford life.

At Magdalen, Lewis taught English literature and participated in the college’s intellectual and social life. His friendship with J.R.R. Tolkien developed within the wider Oxford academic community during this period. Lewis also hosted meetings of the Inklings, an informal literary discussion group, in Oxford pubs and college rooms.

Magdalen College is distinct from Christ Church, another famous Oxford college frequently mentioned in tourist accounts. Lewis later left Oxford for Cambridge University, where he became the first holder of the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English in 1954.
