Excerpt: Sir John Cecil Masterman (12 January 1891 6 June 1977) was a noted academic, sportsman and author. However, he was best known as chairman of the Twenty Committee, which during World War II ran the Double Cross System, the scheme that controlled double agents in Britain. Masterman was educated at the Royal Naval Colleges of Osborne and Dartmouth, at Worcester College, Oxford, where he read Modern History. He studied at the University of Freiburg where he also was an exchange lecturer in 1914, and that was where he was when World War I broke out. As a result he was interned as an enemy alien for four years in a prisoner-of-war camp in Ruhleben. Although this would have been galling to a naturally competitive young man as Masterman, he took the opportunity to further polish his German. After his return from captivity, Masterman became tutor of Modern History in Christ Church, Oxford, where he was also censor (192026). In the 1920s he became a noted player of cricket, tennis and field hockey, participating in international competitions, and in 1931 he toured Canada with the Marylebone Cricket Club; he was acknowledged as a master gamesman in Stephen Potter's book Gamesmanship. After the war he returned to Oxford, becoming Provost of Worcester College (194661) and Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University from 1957 to 1958. He was also knighted for his services in 1959.
