 He began preparatory school at Weybridge, but because of his frequent advocacy of atheism he was removed, and transplanted to Caterham. There he became notorious for refusing to play football, preferring rather to lie in the middle of the field (Levy 1981, 101). He began to study Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason around this  time (Rochelle 1991, 20). He moved from Caterham to Clifton College as a boarding student in 1882. He  cherished his memories of Clifton College, despite the perhaps not  infrequent bullying he encountered  there.[3]
