Francis Wylie

[1][2] Francis Wylie was educated at St Edward's School, Oxford, the University of Glasgow, and Balliol College, Oxford, where he received a first class degree in Literae Humaniores in 1888.

This meant writing by hand up to 2000 such letters a year, and after his death, his wife, Lady Wylie, continued this in his place.

For one pre-Great War scholar from Germany who later emigrated to Africa this letter was a memorable feature of life for the whole family, and led the next generation of Popps to become good friends with later generations of Wylies.

[2] In 1933, Wylie received an honorary degree from Bowdoin College in the USA.
