Obituary |
"FORMER ETON HEAD Death of Dr. Edward
Lyttelton.
"Dr. Edward Lyttelton, 86 years-old former head
master of Eton, died at the Old Palace, Lincoln, where he had been living
with the Bishop of Lincoln. His association with Eton covered nearly half
a century, and he was known as 'the brown man' to everyone there because
of his tanned complexion. If he
were held in awe by the boys they respected him, too, for they knew him to
be a man who always did the right and just thing. Last of a famous family
of cricketing brothers, he was the first player to score a century against
the Australians. He captained the Cambridge eleven of 1878, the only team
to defeat the Australians during their first English tour. His life story
was bound up with Eton, where he was educated, and where he was an
assistant master before becoming head. He was the seventh of eight
brothers, seven of whom secured places in the Eton XI at Lord's. In 1878,
he played Association football for England against Scotland."

"Dr. Edward
Lyttelton Former Head Master of Eton.
"Dr. the Hon. Edward
Lyttelton, former Head Master of Eton, died yesterday, aged 86, at the Old
Palace, Lincoln, where he had been living for the past 18 months. Seventh
son of the fourth Lord Lyttelton, he was the last of the famous cricketing
brothers. He was an uncle of captain Oliver Lyttelton, Minister of State
in the Middle East. Dr. Lyttelton was born in 1855 and educated at Eton
and Trinity College, Cambridge. He came of a distinguished Etonian family.
His eldest brother, who became 8th Viscount Cobham in succession to his
kinsman, the 3rd Duke of Buckingham and Chados, held the offices of Land
Commissioner for England and Wales and Commissioner under the Railway and
Canal Traffic Act, and died in 1922. Of his other brothers, General Sir
Neville Lyttelton was Chief of the General Staff and First Military Member
of the Army Council 1904-8, and General Officer Commanding-in-Chief the
Forces in Ireland 1908-12: the Hon. Alfred Lyttelton, K.C., who died in
1913, was Colonial Secretary in 1903-05: another brother was Bishop of
Southampton: and the Hon. Spencer Lyttelton, C.B., was private secretary
to Mr. Gladstone from 1892-4.
Dr. Lyttelton's fame was somewhat overclouded in 1915 by an incursion into
the region of war politics, and some remarks he made as to our attitude
towards the Germans met with emphatic disapproval and let to suggestions
that he ought to resign the head mastership of Eton.
This
he did early in the following year. In his reminiscences. 'Memories
and Hopes,'
.jpg) published in 1925, he says that the resignation was due
to 'various circumstances, domestic, official, private and public.' He had
no sympathy with the German war spirit, though he suggested that England
was not wholly free from responsibility for the war. Like his brothers,
Dr. Lyttelton was an ardent athlete, and was a member of the Eton and
Cambridge cricket elevens. He played for Cambridge against Oxford in the
four successive years from 1875 to 1878 inclusive, and did good work for
Middlesex afterwards, one of his best scores being 113 against the
Australians in 1878. He was credited with being the first England
cricketer to make a century against the Australians."

as an assistant master at Wellington College, and, in 1882, returned to
his old school as an assistant master, a position he retained until 1890,
when he was appointed head master of Haileybury College
[Hertfordshire]. In
the meantime, he had appointed deacon and priest in 1884 and 1886
respectively, and in 1895 he was made an honorary canon of St. Albans. He
