In 1827 Alfred, Lord Tennyson, entered Trinity College, Cambridge. There he made lasting friendships, most importantly with Arthur Hallam, whose death at age 22 later inspired Tennyson’s poem In Memoriam. His reputation as a poet increased. In 1831 Tennyson’s father died, and his grandfather discovered his father’s debts. As a result, he left Cambridge without taking a degree.
