⁶⁹ Paul Victor Mendelssohn Beneke (1868–1944) was the great-grandson of the composer Felix Mendelssohn. He became a Fellow of Magdalen College in 1893 and taught Classics until his retirement in 1925. He lived in Magdalen (with his vast collection of pigs) for the rest of his life. Lewis’s reminiscences of Beneke can be found in Margaret Denecke’s Paul Victor Mendelssohn Beneke (1868–1944) (Oxford [1954]), pp. 31–34.
