By October 1895, 200 students were registered for courses and in 1896 the LSE moved to larger premises at 10 Adelphi Terrace.<\/p>\n<p>The LSE was the &#8216;brainchild&#8217; of Sidney Webb (1859-1947) with the support of his wife social researcher Beatrice Webb (1858-1943), political scientist Graham Wallas (1858-1932) and author George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950). All were members of the Fabian Society. William Hewins (1865-1931), who was a historian of economics, was appointed the first director.<\/p>\n<p>From its inception the school was open to both men and women and overseas students were welcome. The school was committed to providing its students with &#8220;scientific training in methods of inquiry and research&#8221; and resources for research. In 1896 it established the Library, which since 1928 has been known as the British Library of Political Science and Economics.<\/p>\n<p>The first prospectus lists the subjects taught as economics, statistics, commerce, commercial geography, commercial history, commercial and industrial law, finance and banking, taxation and accounting, and political science.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"color: red;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lse.ac.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LSE Official Website<\/a><\/h5>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;501&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;How it all started&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|text_align:center|color:%23FF0000&#8243; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]LSE first opened its doors in 1895, in three rooms at 9 John<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-621","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lsealumni.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/621","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lsealumni.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lsealumni.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lsealumni.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lsealumni.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=621"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/lsealumni.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/621\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":633,"href":"https:\/\/lsealumni.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/621\/revisions\/633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lsealumni.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
