It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • The Minor Marshallians and Alfred Marshall
    The Minor Marshallians and Alfred Marshall Alfred Marshall, Professor of Economics at Cambridge University (1885–1908), produced a distinguished crop of students, many of them leaders in the econom­ ics profession in sub sequent generations. Pigou, Keynes and Dennis Robertson are undoubtedly the most famous of these Marshall ‘pupils’ but there were many more, even if more minor forces in the development of early twentieth century eco nom ics. This book intends to examine the major work of ten of these ‘minor’ Marshallians – Sydney John Chapman (1871–1951), John Harold Clapham (1873–1946), Charles Ryle Fay (1884–1961), Alfred William Flux (1867–1942), Frederick Lavington (1881–1927), Walter Thomas Layton (1884–1966), David Huchinson MacGregor (1877–1953), Joseph Shield Nicholson (1850–1927), Charles Percy Sanger (1871–1930) and Gerald Francis Shove (1888–1947), to name them in alphabetical order. The broad aim of this book is to evaluate the more import ant con tri bu tions of these ‘minor’ Marshallians by selective examination of their major economic work. That evalu ation has at least two dimensions. First, it focuses on the signifi­ cance of the author’s individual con tri bu tions to the de velopment of twentieth century economic thought. Second, it attempts to assess the Marshallian credentials of these con tri bu tions in order to indicate how Marshallian in their eco nom ics these ‘pupils’ of Marshall’s econom ics teaching actually stayed. This book presents a detailed study of ten, ‘minor’ Marshallians who spread the ‘organon’ of Marshall’s eco nom ics to later generations of eco nom ists via the impact Marshall had on their own work.

  • I Attitudes Towards International Affairs Among the Students And
    Attitudes Towards International Affairs Among the Students and Staff of the University of Edinburgh 1914-1939 Niall T Stuart PhD The University of Edinburgh 2007 i Acknowledgements Many thanks to my supervisors, Dr Paul Addison and Professor Robert Anderson, the City of Edinburgh Archivist Mr Richard Hunter for extensive information about his grandfather Mr David Mackenzie, staff at the various libraries and archives used (especially the University of Edinburgh Main Library Special Collections), and family and friends for all their support and encouragement. ii Thesis Abstract This thesis examines attitudes toward international affairs held by students and staff at the University of Edinburgh between 1914 and 1939, particularly those relating to the issues of war and peace. Specific ideological areas to be looked at include religious influences, nationalism and imperialism, racial concepts, health, fitness and eugenics, and Marxism. Primary sources made use of throughout include the private papers and publications of officials and teaching staff at the university, newspaper letters and reports, University Court, Senatus, Faculty and other committee papers and minutes, official University publications and course text books, and student publications, society minutes and debating records. In the main body of the thesis the relevant positions of the student body and University official and staff are looked at separately and a generally chronological approach followed, with the overall period divided up into World War One, the 1920s, and the 1930s respectively. The conclusion seeks to evaluate the reasons why both students and staff offered up a generally vigorous support for Britain’s war efforts in both 1914 and 1939, this in spite of the widespread popularity of pacifistic ideas throughout the period covered.

This account of Keynes’s relationship with the British Academy begins with his early, perhaps premature, nomination as a Fellow and its sequel, an initial rejection by the Academy on political grounds in . The event became linked with the failure of his professorial colleague at Cambridge, Arthur Cecil Pigou, to be elected until on grounds that Keynes regarded as equally discreditable to the Academy. It was certainly one of the less edifying examples of Cambridge in- fighting. But having relented in his original decision not to allow his name to be put forward again Keynes was elected in . The article deals with Keynes’s subsequent participation in the affairs of the Academy, especially his part in nominating Beatrice Webb, the first woman to be elected to the Academy in ; and his contrasting failure to secure the election of Joan Robinson in the s.

  • John Shield Nicholson
    1 Joseph Shield Nicholson (1850-1927): An early student of Marshall at Cambridge, later quite critical of Marshall and his Economics Peter Groenewegen University of Sydney Abstract: Joseph Shield Nicholson (1850-1927) in 1876 graduated with first class honours in the Moral Sciences at Cambridge, where he was taught economics by Sidgwick and Marshall. He was appointed Professor of Political Economy at Edinburgh University in 1880, a position he continued to hold until 1925. During his life time as an academic he wrote over a dozen books and a substantial number of articles in the emerging economic journals. This paper examines a sample of Nicholson’s work: his essay on machinery and labour (1878, 1892), his Treatise of Money and Essays on Monetary Problems (1888, 1895) and his Principles of Political Economy in three volumes (1893, 1897, 1901), for their Marshallian characteristics as indicated by references to Marshall’s work. This part of the paper is preceded by an introduction and biographical sketch of Nicholson, and concludes, among other things, that the association between the two deteriorated as they grew older, and virtually disappeared over the final two decades of their lives. The paper forms part of my project on ‘minor Marshallians’ in progress from the start of the decade. Joseph Shield Nicholson studied political economy at Cambridge with Marshall while taking the Moral Sciences Tripos. In the final examinations in 1876 he was equal second in the first class honours list, an excellent result. Nicholson was therefore one of Marshall’s early students, and was described by Marshall in an undated fragment (probably from around his retirement in 1908) as one of the many persons sent from Cambridge who had become a ‘leading teacher’ of Economics at London University and, though not mentioned by Marshall on this occasion, at Edinburgh (cited in Groenewegen 1995, pp.
