Waley came up to King's in 1912 to study history and spent much of his time drawing his female classmates.

Waley left King's in 1913 and enlisted in the army. He was shipped to France early on in the war and was lucky enough to survive both WWI and WWII without major injury. Waley was a keen gardener, and an internationally renowned expert on daffodils. He died at the age of 94 in 1987.

Waley's ink drawings provide an entertaining and whimsical snapshot of the female experience of Cambridge and King's on the eve of the First Word War.
