Charles Ryle Fay (1884-1961) entered King's College from Merchant Taylors' School, Crosby, in 1902 and took a First in both parts of the Historical Tripos. After two years (1906-08) as research student at the London School of Economics (where he gained a DSc), he became a fellow and lecturer in history at Christ's College. In 1921 he was appointed Professor of Economic History at the University of Toronto, returning to Cambridge in 1930 as Reader in Economic History. Oscar Browning was one of Fay's tutors at King's. He left Cambridge in 1909. Browning was in Italy when the First World War broke out, and settled at the Palazzo Simonetti in Rome until his death there in 1923.
