MONTAGUE RENDALL: Montague Rendall (1862-1950) was an Assistant Master at Winchester College, 1887-1889; Second Master, 1899-1911; Headmaster, 1911-1924. JOHN LUCAS: John Lucas was educated at Winchester College and Balliol College, Oxford. Studied first mathematics, then Greats (Greek, Latin, Philosophy and Ancient History), obtaining first class honours in both. He spent the 1957-58 academic year at Princeton University, studying mathematics and logic. For 36 years, until his 1996 retirement, he was a Fellow and Tutor of Merton College, Oxford, and he remained an emeritus member of the University Faculty of Philosophy. He was a Fellow of the British Academy. Best known for his paper "Minds, Machines and Gdel," arguing that an automaton cannot represent a human mathematician, attempting to refute computationalism. Lucas wrote on the philosophy of mathematics, especially the implications of Gdels incompleteness theorem, the philosophy of mind, free will and determinism, the philosophy of science including two books on physics co-authored with Peter E. Hodgson, causality, political philosophy, ethics and business ethics, and the philosophy of religion. The son of a Church of England clergyman Lucas described himself as "a dyed-in-the-wool traditional Englishman." He had four children (Edward Lucas, Helen Lucas, Richard Lucas and Deborah Lucas) with Morar Portal, among them Edward Lucas, a former journalist at The Economist.
