What? edit

From the article:

  • In 1930 he moved to the London School of Economics, in a chair for social biology. According to Gary Werskey, Hogben was the only one of the four not holding some eugenicist ideas.

Which four was Hogben the only non-eugenicist of? And who is Gery Werskey? Tom Duff 16:15, 15 October 2007 (UTC)Reply


Ah! I see, this sentence came loose from the discussion of the founding of the SEB. I'll put it back where it belongs. Tom Duff 16:18, 15 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Religious Family Background - Disputable edit

Where is the citation for his parents being Plymouth Brethren? His article in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (2004) by Robert Bud states his father was "a Methodist who was devoted to evangelism".Cloptonson (talk) 14:09, 20 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

@Cloptonson: So do the Biographical Memoirs from the Royal Society. I have edited the article accordingly. Only 8 years late DuncanHill (talk) 20:21, 25 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
