Memoir of Sir Sidney Lee the Dictionary to the University of Oxford. With the change in its proprietorship Lee’s connexion with the undertaking came to an end.

The rest of Lee’s life was largely occupied by teaching and university administration. From 1913 to 1924 he was professor of English literature in the East London College, which formed part of the University of London. He resigned his professorship, owing to ill-health, in the summer of 1924, published the first volume of his Life of King Edward VII in March 1925, and was endeavouring to complete the second volume at the time of his death. He died on 8 March 1926, and was buried at Stratford-on-Avon.
