Professor Arthur John, c1960s
Professor of Economic History
From his obituary by Walter M. Stern, in the LSE Magazine, June 1979, No57, p.8
'Arthur John (1915-1978) had touched LSE's life at many points. After graduating there in 1936 with first-class honours, he went on to Cambridge to take a Ph.D. degree under Clapham, just before the war. On his return from service with the RAF, he embarked on an administrative career, acting as Assistant Registrar at LSE during 1946-47, before moving to Nottingham University as Registrar. But he switched to academic teaching and rejoined LSE as Lecturer in Economic History in 1949, becoming Reader (1954) and Professor (1964).'
