In 1928, THE INTERNATIONAL EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY of 189 Regent Street, London, began a non-profit program of recording prominent academics in lectures on their fields of study, offering to donate any profits to establish scholarships in the general furtherance of education. Sales were not restricted to educational institutions, and their sale to people in remote localities, like Australia, was encouraged. For awhile, the earlier lectures in this laudable effort were pressed by Columbia in Homebush, Sydney, but the onset of the depression and poor record sales forced an early closure to the scheme in about 1932. However, by that time at least eighty (80) lectures had been recorded, by lecturers as diverse and notable as Aldous Huxley, Sir Oliver Lodge, Sir Edmund Gosse, Sir Robert Baden-Powell, Sir Henry Hadow, Johnston Forbes-Robertson, Viscount Cecil of Charlwood, Dame Rachel Crowdy, Dr George Dyson, the poet John Drinkwater, and the veteran singer Harry Plunket Greene. This educational project per medium of the gramophone was deserving of far more support than it obtained during its short life, and it collectively preserves a series of 15-minute lectures by the cream of Britain's academics of the late 1920s. It is extraordinary that there hasn't been a far greater proportion of it uploaded to youtube, in view of these discs' extreme historical importance. From wikipedia: Professor GEORGE MACAULAY TREVELYAN +••.••(...)) was a British historian and academic. He was a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge from 1898 to 1903. He then spent more than twenty years as a full-time author. He returned to the University of Cambridge and was Regius Professor of History from 1927 to 1943. He served as Master of Trinity College from 1940 to 1951. In retirement, he was Chancellor of Durham University. Trevelyan was the third son of Sir George Otto Trevelyan, 2nd Baronet, and great-nephew of Thomas Babington Macaulay, whose staunch liberal Whig principles he espoused in accessible works of literate narrative avoiding a consciously dispassionate analysis, that became old-fashioned during his long and productive career. The noted historian E. H. Carr considered Trevelyan to be one of the last historians of the Whig tradition. As David Cannadine wrote in G.M. Trevelyan: A Life in History (1992): "During the first half of the twentieth century Trevelyan was the most famous, the most honored, the most influential and the most widely read historian of his generation. He was a scion of the greatest historical dynasty that (Britain) has ever produced. He knew and corresponded with many of the greatest figures of his time... For fifty years, Trevelyan acted as a public moralist, public teacher and public benefactor, wielding unchallenged cultural authority among the governing and the educated classes of his day." Trevelyan was the first president of the Youth Hostels Association and the YHA headquarters are called Trevelyan House in his honour. He worked tirelessly through his career on behalf of the National Trust, in preserving not merely historic houses, but historic landscapes.
