Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The London School of Economics and Political Science,' as the author have put it elsewhere, 'was always mis-described in its title; from its beginning it included, not economics and political science alone, but statistics, sociology, geography and several branches of law; anthropology was added in 1903.' When he came to the School as Director, 'I pursued this Webb idea to its logical conclusion; the London School of Economics ought to be a School of all the Social Sciences.' It is interesting to know from the Memoirs of Hugh Dalton, who was teaching in the School at this time and before it, that both the senior teachers with whom he worked there-Edwin Cannan and H. S. Foxwell-emphasized the need for economists to know some law. This, he writes, was a favourite theme with each of them.
