Abstract
Until the early 1930s the development of teaching in social studies had been a College response to the rising number of candidates for the new Honour School. The University was involved in the legislation which established the School and first a Board of Studies and then a Faculty. But the University had provided only the Montague Burton Chair of International Relations in 1930 and converted the Readership in Economic History into a Chair in 1931. Nor had it increased the facilities available for the increasing number of College teachers. Then came two general initiatives on the part of the University which gave the Faculty, and in particular the teachers of Economics a real opportunity to secure more and better facilities.
