Abstract
This quotation is just one of the many acerbic references in literature to university academics or to their relations with their students. Other examples of academics’ bad press, some reflecting their dismissive attitude towards their students, are manifold: C. P. Snow’s novel The Affair; Kingsley Amis’s Lucky Jim and his later Jake’s Thing; Tom Sharpe’s Porterhouse Blue and his Wilt novels; the Master of Biblioll College, who delivered the brush-off to Jude Fawley in Thomas Hardy’s Jude the Obscure, advising him to ‘remain in his own sphere and to stick to his trade’; and even the ambiguities of David Lodge’s several ‘university novels’. Malcolm Bradbury is a further rich source with novels like Eating People is Wrong and his special sociology villain in the philandering Howard Kirk in The History Man. Philip Roth’s 1998 novel The Human Stain is an American example, giving a jaundiced picture – controversially so to many of its readers – of both staff and students. These are besides the many unflattering portraits in plays and films: Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?; Simon Gray’s Butley; or Willy Russell’s Educating Rita. Oleana, David Mamet’s play and film about sexual harassment in a university, is famous for its moral ambiguity of the respective responsibilities of the professor and the student for the relationship that developed between them; the feminist interpretation puts the blame on the professor.
‘The discipline of colleges and universities is in general contrived, not for the benefit of the students, but for the interest, or more properly speaking, for the ease of the masters.’
Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, Book 5, Chapter 1, Part 3.
With the exceptions to whom Chapter 3 is devoted, this chapter and Chapter 4 seek to mention and discuss all those who have had a significant academic appointment either labelled as ‘Sociology’ or in the Department of Sociology and whose year of first appointment was between 1904 and 1981; Table W2.1 for this chapter lists all those first appointed before or in 1949 and Table W4.1 for Chapter 4 lists all significant later appointments starting between 1950 and 2015 inclusive, though only those appointed in 1981 or before are discussed at length in Chapter 4. Chapter 3 discusses at greater length the cases of Ginsburg, MacRae and Glass.

Webb may have had in mind something of the nineteenth-century meaning of ‘professor’ that survives in the French professeur as simply ‘teacher’, though his disinclination to demand too many mere teaching duties of his ‘professors’ suggests not. To be fair to LSE, its senior professors have been expected to provide one of the mainstream lecture courses in their subject.

Sir Ratanji Jamsetji Tata (1871–1918) was the second son of Jamsetji Tata, founder of the House of Tata; see www.tatacentralarchives.com, accessed on 28 May 2012. He died at St Ives on 5 September 1918. For information on his father and the House of Tata, see Brown (2016); for information on his elder brother, see Choksi (2004).

All data on course attendances before 1914 were taken from Agenda items of the LSE Professorial Council, various years (LSE Professorial Council, Agenda and Minutes, 1902–1914; LSE Archives, LSE/Minutes/7/1/1).

Letter from Sidney Webb to Graham Wallas, 30 June 1910 (LSE Archives, WALLAS/1/53/8). Dickinson was Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson (1862–1932), MA, Fellow of King’s College, Cambridge, Lecturer in Political Science full-time at LSE from 1896 to 1920; see also Martin (2010).

Webb took quite a proprietorial interest in the affairs of Sociology, which may have come from a view that it was not properly promoting itself. On 18 July 1912 he wrote to Wallas wanting to find accommodation within the School for the Sociological Society, proposing that the School should take over The Sociological Review with a paid editor and promote the Society, the present Sociology Department, the ‘new branch’ of Social Science and Administration, and the Ratan Tata Foundation, which was to fund this new branch. This letter also regrets that Urwick would not accept ‘his proposed Ratan Tata post’, presumably the headship of the new Department of Social Science and Administration. It then proposes alternative possibilities and rejects others, sometimes because of suspected ‘COS bias’. Urwick must later have changed his mind, but the comment by Webb raises doubts about the accuracy of the claim by Oakley (2014, p. 111) that COS stipulated that Urwick should head the new department as a condition of the merger. Among Webb’s rejected names were Norman B. Dearle (1882–1961) and Hugh Dalton (1887–1962). Of the latter Webb said, ‘we [presumably he and Beatrice] have grave doubts’, though no grounds for these are given. Of course, both Dearle and Dalton had distinguished and successful later careers; see letter from Webb to Wallas , 18 July 1912 (LSE Archives, WALLAS/1/53/26).

Course attendance figures ceased to be fully reported in the Minutes of the Professorial Council after those for 1914–15; thus, it is not always clear whether certain later advertised courses were actually given.

However, this would not have been unique; at that time a number of other courses on subjects related to France or Belgium were taught in French.

In May–June 1916 Hamon gave a ten-lecture course on ‘La Comédie’ at Birkbeck College in the same series, now also being described as ‘Lecturer at the London School of Economics and Political Science’ (LSE Archives, SHAW/16/1A).

Hamon should perhaps be judged according to the context of his time, but Wils (2005) gives a number of observations about him that would today make him both racist and anti-Semitic.

Lewiński has an extended biographical entry in Polski Słownik Biograficzny (Landau and Zawadzki 1972). He published at least one early work, in the form of a pamphlet in German written under the pseudonym of J. London (Lewiński 1907). Until his early death at the age of forty-five he had a very distinguished academic career in Poland after the First World War. He was buried in the Evangelical Reform cemetery in Vilnius.

The Solvay Institute of Sociology [L’Institut de Sociologie Solvay] was founded in 1902 by the Belgian chemist, industrialist and philanthropist, Ernest Gaston Joseph Solvay (1838–1922). It is now part of the Université Libre de Bruxelles, but is an example of how much further sociology as a subject was advanced in certain European countries than it was in the UK at the beginning of the twentieth century. For further details about the Institute and about Waxweiler himself, see Wils and Rasmussen (2012).

No trace of any such study has so far been located, either in the LSE Archives or in the library of the Université Libre de Bruxelles, which holds a lot of Waxweiler’s published material.

Robbins (1971, p. 137) – discussing Beveridge’s notoriously high-handed approach to his academic staff – says that Hobhouse first learned of an important appointment ‘in his field’ when he read about it in a newspaper; it is hard to see whom else but Ginsberg is being referred to, as the 1920s were a particularly sparse period for Sociology appointments. It seems surprising that Hobhouse would not have known if the appointment had been Ginsberg and perhaps Robbins was exaggerating; he was not a particular fan of Beveridge.

Beveridge , however, would have wanted Potter to be kept ‘on side’. A few years later he agreed to propose a toast to Potter at the Commerce Society’s dinner; Letter from Beveridge to W. J. Wisdom, 3 March 1926 (LSE Archives, BEVERIDGE/25/2B/4).

Sociology was equally unscathed by such accusations made in the 1930s, when the principal alleged culprit was Harold Laski (Harris 1997, pp. 285–9).

Marshall had stood as the Labour candidate in the Farnham (Surrey) constituency in the 1922 General Election against the Conservative in a two-candidate contest, winning 26.7 per cent of votes.
- 20.
Marshall’s background was in economic history. His Cambridge dissertation, submitted to Trinity College in 1919 for a Fellowship, was titled, ‘A Survey of the Industrial Development of England from the Accession of James I to the Outbreak of the Civil War’ (LSE Archives, MARSHALL/27/7/1. No 1). Given that his first LSE employment was specifically in ‘commerce’, it is ironic that in one of his later letters home during his imprisonment in Ruhleben (see below), he was discussing his future and noted his hatred of ‘any work that was commercial’ (Transcribed letter to his father, 10 May 1917, Book 4 of transcribed letters; Liddle Collection/Ruhleben, RUH 33, Marshall Prof T. H., held by University of Leeds Brotherton Library).

The polymathic Hogben was, in any case, constantly on the move between academic positions; between 1919 and 1947 he held seven academic appointments on three different continents; his seven-year period as Professor of Social Biology in the University of London was actually his longest career appointment of the seven.

Beveridge was a man of considerable achievements, though he seems to have been in some ways remarkably unworldly, as exemplified by the story that he allegedly understood the meaning of the term coitus interruptus only when it was explained to him by David Glass (as told by Eric Hobsbawn in his speech at the memorial event for David Glass; LSE Archives, COLL MISC 0731).

Kuczynski arrived in this country in the autumn of 1933 and was awarded £200 in 1933–34 and 1934–35 by the Academic Freedom Committee (LSE Archives/LSE/UNREGISTERED/22/10, Academic Freedom Committee). Despite the title of his doctorate, he was a much-published economist and statistician rather than a political scientist and had a distinguished background working as a demographer in Germany (Green 2017, pp. 18–57). In 1936 he published a short book on demography, Population movements (Kuczynski 1936), based on three public lectures that he had given in the University of London in March 1936. His youngest child, Renate Simpson (1924–2013), translated works by Marx into English and published two books on the history of the PhD in Britain (Simpson 1983, 2009).

Despite his reputation, Mannheim’s lecturing style was reportedly inclined to the tedious, each lecture beginning with a lengthy summary of preceding lectures rather than going to the purported subject of the present one (Interview by the author with Geoffrey E. Beck (BSc(Econ), Special Subject Sociology, 1942), 2 August 2013). Scharf as a student was similarly unimpressed, by both his style and, after a while, his content (LSE Archives, ORAL HISTORY, Mrs. Betty R. Scharf interviewed by Dr. Eileen Barker, 15 March 1989, 1/1, 17). On the other hand, there are reports, albeit vicarious, that his lecturing was popular (e.g., Shils 2006, p. 33).
- 39.
In fact, considerable parts of this work had been previously published, including an early version in German published in The Netherlands in 1935 that had been translated into English by Edward Shils; the final work merely revised and expanded upon these earlier writings.

Letters from Carr-Saunders to K. Mannheim, 16 April 1940 and 2 May 1940 (LSE Archives, LSE/CENTRAL FILING REGISTRY/207/I). Carr-Saunders’ actual view of Mannheim’s style of sociology was less than positive. According to one source (Ahmad 1987, pp. 196–7), in 1939 he had reportedly wanted to offload Mannheim by trying to convince the Rockefeller Foundation to find him a position in the United States, as revealed by material in the Rockefeller Foundation archive.
- 41.
Letter from K. Mannheim to Carr-Saunders, 5 May 1940 (LSE Archives, LSE/CENTRAL FILING REGISTRY/207/I). Despite these activities, one cannot resist the perhaps unkind thought that those issuing these invitations had mistaken him for his namesake and had invited the wrong Mannheim , whereas Hermann had been intended! This mistake certainly occurred. He is recorded as having given a lecture on ‘some problems of female delinquency’ to the Sociology Club in 1936 (LSE/CENTRAL REGISTRY/275); however, in another record containing the same event, Report on the Session 1935–36, the ‘K’ in the entry originally for Dr. K. Mannheim has been amended by hand to ‘H’ (LSE/SMALL DEPOSITS/3/1).
- 42.
Ahmad (1987, p. 218) reports, based on material in the Rockefeller Foundation archives, that Beveridge had sought Rockefeller money to establish a Chair in Criminology at the School, but that this had been refused. However, that was in 1924 and who knows whether it would ever have been given to Mannheim if it had continued to exist.

LSE Archives, ORAL HISTORY, Mrs. Betty R. Scharf interviewed by Dr. Eileen Barker , 15 March 1989, 1/1. Scharf claims that Julian Blackburn had by then left Cambridge for Canada, though his LSE post actually continued till 1948. Also, Joan Ozanne Levente may still have been there in 1943. This is an interesting source, though it suffers from some vaguenesses due to Scharf’s admitted memory lapses and losses.

Comparative Morals and Religion was for long a compulsory course in the BSc(Econ) degree, a stipulation that reflected Ginsburg’s interests in ethics. It retained the title till the 1960s and was later taught by a number of different lecturers who are introduced in Chapter 4 (Budd, Gellner , Michael Hill, Martin, and Scharf ). Its later manifestation was principally as the option course ‘Sociology of Religion’.
