I seem to remember Edwin being an archivist or librarian rather than a tutor. Which makes their meeting and getting to know each other that much odder.
I like Mr Merrick, too, despite his politics. I like him mostly because he takes Patrick and Nicola seriously - he talks to them as adults, while respecting Nicola's teenage scruples, and he has no trouble believing that Patrick might have intellectually interesting ideas on Vatican II.
