Saw a lovely portrait of Tagore in our archives. He was rejected a knighthood, writing to Lord Chelmsford:

“The enormity of the measures taken by the Government in the Punjab for quelling some local disturbances has, with a rude shock, revealed to our minds the helplessness of our position as British subjects in India. The disproportionate severity of the punishments ...are without parallel in the history of civilised governments…”

Is this signature written by hand directly onto the book, or is it a printed version of a handwritten signature? I want it to be the former, but my colleague thinks it's the latter.

It's of Rabindranath Tagore, Bengali poet and winner of the Nobel Prize for literature

Pictured here from the LSE Library archives is Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the first President of Bangladesh, meeting Peter Shore (Labour MP) at Heathrow Airport in 1973. They met on several occasions in due course, and Shore was very fond of him.

Which ex LSE professor is the only person to have both dressed The Who and worked for WHO, and (as far as I'm aware), ridden a camel topless?
