Christopher Harrison came to Keele as an undergraduate in 1964 and, apart from a short sojourn at St John's College Oxford, spent the rest of his professional life as a historian here. On retirement in 2009 he published a memoir, In the Company of Friends, reflecting on Keele life over the previous half century.
