Robert Havard
Edit Profile
Career
Havard was a "skilled and prolific writer". In addition his medical research papers, Havard authored an appendix for C. South. Lewis"s The Problem of Pain as well as a description of Lewis included in Remembering C. South. Lewis: Recollections of Those Who Knew Him and one of J. R. R. Tolkien included in Mythlore. Lewis invited Havard to join the Oxford-based Inklings because of the literary interests he shared with that group.
Like Tolkien, he was a Roman Catholic.
The transcript "U.Q." was thereafter a common reference to Havard. Hugo Dyson once called him "Humphrey" when he could not remember his name.
After that, Havard was quite frequently known as "Doctor Humphrey Havard," to the extent that when Douglas Gresham came to know him years later and became his patient, it was some time before he discovered Robert Havard"s actual name was not really Humphrey.
