According to the report, Watson, 25, and Cumberbatch, 39, will have a duties which are supposed to enrich the cultural life of the university.

“At a minimum, we’d like them to drop in occasionally at college, eat with us and meet informally with a variety of the LMH community,” Alan Rusbridger, the college’s principal told the website. “We’d like them to do one thing a bit more structured. It could be a conversation or debate, a performance, a lecture or seminar, a form of outreach – or something we haven’t thought of. We can imagine fascinating interactions or collaborations between them.”

The actors are among nine other fellows, all chosen from what Rusbridger said was a “variety of background, callings and professions.” The fellows are also intended to help the academic community cross over into the various professional worlds the fellows are a part of.

“They are welcome to come and stay in college if they’d like a place temporarily to think or work,” Rusbridger added. “And some have already suggested other ways in which they might engage with a body of 700 incredibly smart students and tutors in order to stimulate their own thinking or work in progress.”
