===Rectors=== Novelist and Lincoln graduate [[John le CarrΓ©]], himself a one-time spy, revealed that fictional spymaster [[George Smiley]] was partly modelled on former Lincoln rector [[Vivian H. H. Green]]. At least one other recent Lincoln Rector, Sir [[Maurice Shock]], enjoyed a prior career in British intelligence, although there is little evidence to substantiate the college's reputation as a recruiting ground for spies.<ref>Paul Langford, β[http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/94873 Green, Vivian Hubert Howard (1915β2005)]β, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, online edition, Oxford University Press, January 2009. Retrieved 2 March 2009</ref> From 1954 to 1972, the Rector of the college was [[Walter Fraser Oakeshott]], most famous for discovering the [[Winchester Manuscript]] of [[Sir Thomas Malory]]'s [[Le Morte d'Arthur]] in 1934 while an Assistant Master at [[Winchester College]]. Lincoln College's largest performance space is named after him. The academic [[Mark Pattison (academic)|Mark Pattison]] was elected as Rector of the college in 1861 and is thought to have been the inspiration for the character of Dr. Casaubon in [[George Eliot]]'s novel [[Middlemarch]]. The current Rector is [[Nigel Clifford]] who assumed the position in 2024.
