Fry was an exceptional scholar and it was expected he would achieve a first-class degree in Classics and enter the Indian Civil Service with an illustrious career ahead of him. Although he rarely discussed his last year at Oxford it seems he had a serious mental breakdown shortly before his exams. His mother was ill and his financial situation was dire. His father was unable to support him financially and his only income was £80 per year scholarship money at time when Wadham students often had incomes of over £400. At one point Fry resorted to nude modelling to earn money. He was awarded a fourth class degree.
It just goes on and on!!!!!
not to mention that he was capped for england at both football and cricket, he equalled the world long jump record,captained oxford at rugby, and was also a renowned acrobat
