Professor at Cambridge: 2, Public Addresses, Querulous Dissent and Scenes from College Life

Chapter 22 in Dennis Robertson, 2008, pp 223-234 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Lectures to the undergraduates were, of course, part of the duties for which he was paid as professor. Because of his eminence and prowess as a public speaker, however, he was always in demand for lectures to be given to a wide variety of audiences — to academics, public bodies and industrial and commercial organisations. These together with other contributions to economic debate and book reviews appeared in a steady stream in published form and were collected in a series of volumes of essays (Robertson, 1952, 1953, 1956; these joined earlier collections, of 1931a, 1931b, 1940).
