Lord Dahrendorf, 1929-2009
The LSE is extremely sad to have to announce the death of our former
Director, Lord Dahrendorf.
A scholar and politician, Professor Sir Ralf Dahrendorf was the eighth
Director of LSE, serving from 1974 to 1984. He later became a Governor
of the School and in 1993 was awarded a life peerage, being created
Baron Dahrendorf of Clare Market.
To celebrate the School's centenary in 1995, he wrote the official
history of LSE, published by Clarendon Press.
Howard Davies, LSE Director, said: 'I know I speak for the whole LSE
community when I say that we are deeply saddened by Ralf Dahrendorf's
passing. His contribution to the School, as our Director, our historian
and a Governor, has been unrivalled.
'I was delighted to take part last month in his 80th Birthday
celebration which was a warn and happy occasion, and an opportunity to
celebrate his life. But all those present hoped for more wisdom and
insight from him in the future. We are now sadly deprived of that.'
