Which Oxford college appointed C.S. Lewis to a teaching fellowship in 1925?

Magdalen College appointed C.S. Lewis to a teaching fellowship in 1925. He became a Fellow and Tutor in English at the Oxford college, beginning the academic career that made Oxford his principal professional home.

Lewis had studied at University College, Oxford, after serving in the First World War and completing further preparation for university examinations. His appointment at Magdalen followed his success as a student and teacher. He remained associated with the college for nearly three decades, teaching English literature and developing a wide circle of friendships.

At Magdalen, Lewis took part in intellectual discussion with colleagues and students and became associated with the literary group later known as the Inklings. His Oxford years also included the gradual development of his Christian convictions and the publication of many influential books.

Lewis left Oxford for Cambridge in 1954, when he became the first holder of the newly created Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Magdalene College, Cambridge. The similar names of Magdalen and Magdalene often cause confusion, but they are different colleges in different universities.
