Sting the Inklings (professions)

Just out of curiousity, I'd like to know the professions/studies of the members of the Inklings.

I know Tolkien:

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien- philologist, professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford University


Any additions will be gratefully accepted! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

C. S. Lewis - also professor

For more information i recommend the latest Tolkien biography which I recently checked out of my local library. It had some information on the inklings at the various stages of the 'club'
