At Oxford, he was a friend of Maurice Bowra, later (1938 to 1970) to be Warden of Wadham. Betjeman had a poem published in "Isis", the university magazine, and served as editor of the "Cherwell" student newspaper during 1927. His first book of poems was privately printed with the help of fellow student Edward James. He brought his teddy bear Archibald Ormsby-Gore up to Magdalen with him, the memory of which inspired his Oxford contemporary Evelyn Waugh to include Sebastian Flyte's teddy Aloysius in "Brideshead Revisited". Much of this period of his life is recorded in his blank verse autobiography "Summoned by Bells" published in 1960 and made into a television film in 1976.
