From 1895 to 1925 he taught at Eton, returning to Cambridge as Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge, 1925-47. The College Fellows preferred another candidate, A. S. Ramsey, but the Hereditary Visitor of Magdalene, Lord Braybrooke chose to appoint Ramsay. He served as Vice-Chancellor, 1929–31 and President of Cambridge University Cricket Club between 1933 and 1947. Ramsay Hall, the largest room in Bright's Building in Magdalene, is named after him; it was refurbished in 1949 to become the college canteen.[2]
Ramsay has been described as "probably the most significant British Latin poet of the twentieth century". He published collections of Latin and English verse with botanically inspired titles: Inter Lilia (1920), Ros Rosarum (1925), Frondes Salicis (1935), Flos Malvae (1946), and Ros Maris (1954).[3]
