From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Professorship at the University of Cambridge

TheVere Harmsworth Professorship of Imperial and Naval History is one of the seniorprofessorships in history at the University of Cambridge. After theBeit Professorship of Colonial History atOxford (founded in 1905) and theRhodes Professorship of Imperial History atKing's College London (founded in 1919), it is the third oldest chair in its subject in the world.

In 1919Harold Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Rothermere endowed a "Professorship of Naval History" at Cambridge with a donation of £20,000, in memory of his son Vere who was killed at theBattle of Ancre in November 1916.^[1] In 1932 the Royal Empire Society successfully campaigned for Cambridge to accept the renaming of the chair to "The Professorship of Imperial and Naval History", under which rubric a new professor was appointed in 1934.^[2] Among the holders of this prestigious chair, only Admiral Sir Herbert Richmond has specialized in naval history, while the others have tended to be scholars of imperial history.
