James, was an English author, medievalist scholar and provost of King's College, Cambridge (1905-1918), and of Eton College (1918-1936). He is best remembered for his ghost stories, which are regarded as among the best in the genre. James redefined the ghost story for the new century by abandoning many of the formal Gothic clichés of his predecessors and using more realistic contemporary settings. However, James's protagonists and plots tend to reflect his own antiquarian interests. Accordingly, he is known as the originator of the "antiquarian ghost story". James originally read the stories to friends and select students at Eton and Cambridge as Christmas Eve entertainments, and received wider attention when they were published in the collections Ghost Stories of an Antiquary (1904), More Ghost Stories of an Antiquary (1911). Later titles include: A Thin Ghost and Others (1919), and A Warning to the Curious and Other Ghost Stories (1925). The first hardback collected edition appeared in 1931. Many of the tales were written as Christmas Eve entertainments and read aloud to friends. This idea was used by the BBC in 2000 when they filmed Christopher Lee reading four stories in a candle-lit room in King's College. James perfected a method of story-telling which has since become known as Jamesian. " - See wikipedia . *** "Geoffrey Reynolds Day (1888-1916) History master 1911-12 Geoffrey Day was killed aged 28 at the Somme on 27 August 1916. He was born in Malvern Link, Worcestershire, the only son of Rev. Archibald Day and his wife Jane. In 1891 the family, including two sisters, Muriel and Hilda, were looked after by a cook, parlourmaid, nurse and governess. Geoffrey attended Marlborough College from 1902-7, going on to Peterhouse, Cambridge, where he achieved a Double First in History and proxime accessit, or runner up, for a Varsity Prize. The Gresham magazine welcomes Mr G.R. Day as a new master in October of 1911 to teach history. He seems to have played a full part in the School, despite his short stay, playing hockey and cricket for masters and local teams, and speaking at the debating society. In February 1912 he led a debate on the supernatural, expressing his trepidation at addressing the group for the first time but winning his motion by telling ghost stories. School notes for July 1912 congratulate him on his forthcoming election to a Fellowship and Lectureship at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, adding, "By his departure we shall have lost not only an interesting teacher but also one who had taken his share in various sides of our school life." Enlisting in 1914, Geoffrey was soon commissioned Lieutenant in the Bedfordshire Regiment. The following August he was wounded several times while serving at Gallipoli, and despite a broken jaw, showed 'amazing fortitude' in bearing his intense suffering according to an officer who was in the next hospital bed. In July 1916 Lieutenant Day was serving with the Royal Warwickshires on the Western Front near Thiepval. On the day of his death he was in temporary charge of leading his company in an attack when he was wounded in one arm. He went forward, but was again struck by a bullet and killed." n July 1916 he was attached to the 1/8th Royal Warwicks, on the Western Front. His family received official notification of the death of his son at the beginning of September 1916. His Commanding O.…
