 Lang continued to visit Oxford when time allowed and on a visit to All Souls in June 1893 he was offered the post of Dean of Divinity at Magdalen College . Other offers were open to him ; the Bishop of Newcastle wished to appoint him vicar of the cathedral church in Newcastle and Benjamin Jowett wished him to return to Balliol as a tutor in theology . Lang chose Magdalen ; the idea of being in charge of young men who might in the future achieve positions of responsibility was attractive to him and , in October 1893 , with many regrets , he left Leeds .
