Eton
Duggan was sent to Eton College, and was placed in Goodhart's House of which he became Captain. His near-contemporary Anthony Powell described him at Eton as reading a great deal despite being "never in the least .. part of the Eton .. intellectual world". Powell identified Duggan as being witty, something of a show-off, but with a strong vein of melancholy, and a stylish rider in point to point racing. Evelyn Waugh thought of Duggan as handsome and amusing, but melancholy.
Duggan did not complete his studies at Eton owing to ill health. At the age of 18 he underwent an operation for appendicitis and went to Argentina to convalesce. When he had recovered, Duggan went up to Christ Church, Oxford in summer term of 1923. He immediately took an intense dislike to life at Oxford, falling into depression and wistfully speaking of the girls of Argentina. Anthony Powell, who was then at Balliol College, reported once seeing Lord Curzon (then Chancellor of the University) talking to Duggan who had not yet got out of bed.
