Desmond Lee
Sir Henry Desmond Pritchard Lee (30 August 1908 – 8 December 1993), known as Desmond Lee, was an English classical scholar specialising in ancient philosophy who became a Fellow and tutor of Corpus Christi College at Cambridge University, a lecturer in the university, and then Headmaster successively of Clifton College and Winchester College, before ending his career back at Cambridge University as President of Hughes Hall.
==Early life==
Born in Nottingham, the son of the Rev. Canon Henry Burgass Lee, the young Lee was educated at Arden House,〔'LEE, Sir Henry Desmond Pritchard, Kt.' in ''The International Who's Who: 1990-91'' (Europa Publications Limited, 1990), p. 930: "b. 30 Aug. 1908, Nottingham; s. of Canon HB Lee; m. Elizabeth Crookenden 1935; one s. two d.; ed. Arden House, Repton School, Cambridge Univ."〕 then at Repton School, where he held the George Denman scholarship, before going on to Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, where he was again a scholar and gained a Double First, with Firsts in Part 1 of the Classical Tripos in 1928 and in Part 2 in 1930. He also gained a Charles Oldham scholarship.〔'LEE, Sir (Henry) Desmond (Pritchard)', in ''Who Was Who 1996–2000'' (London: A. & C. Black, 2001, ISBN 0-7136-5439-2
)〕
While he was still an undergraduate at Cambridge, Lee became a friend of the Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951), in 1930 staying with the Wittgenstein family in Austria. Many years later, in editing ''Wittgenstein's Lectures: Cambridge, 1930-1932'', Lee wrote an account of their friendship, which came to an end after the focus of Lee's academic career turned to ancient philosophy.〔Brian McGuinness, ''Wittgenstein in Cambridge: letters and documents, 1911-1951'' (2008), (p. 189 )〕 His other friends during this period included William Empson.〔John Thorn, '(Obituary: Sir Desmond Lee )' in ''The Independent'' dated 21 December 1993, at independent.co.uk, accessed 11 August 2011〕
