A bright student, Philip attended local public schools until his father, of decidedly lower-middle class backgrounds, decided young Philip would be best served in the local prestigious private academy of Abingdon School. Philip excelled in his studies, showing particular interest and talent for Music and History. Upon graduation, Philip considered following his father into the ministry before deciding to pursue a opportunity to attend university at Oxford at Exeter College. Graduating with honors in History in the weeks after Britain declared war on Germany in 1939, Philip used his connections at Oxford to secure a position in the War Admiralty, serving competently and eventually being promoted to the rank of major in 1944. In September of 1945 Philip was honorably discharged with the war over. Returning home, Philip married in 1946 and returned to university, receiving a PhD in History from Claire College, Cambridge in 1951 with a research specialty in Central European History. After two years of scholarly research, Philip joined Oriel College, Oxford as a Professor of History, specializing in Diplomatic history, and taught a particularly popular graduate course on the Paris Peace Conference of 1918. During his time he also wrote extensively, publishing 4 large research papers; The Rock; Gibraltar as a tool of Empire (1953) The Fourteen Points: A Scholarly Post-Mortem (1955), Czars, Magnates and Hussars; The Decline and Fall of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1958), A Man and a Revolution; Edmund Burke and the French Revolution (1961)
