Excerpt from Industrial Peace: Its Advantages, Methods, and Difficulties; A Report of an Inquiry Made for the Toynbee Trustess
The following Report by Mr. Price is the first publication issued by the Toynbee Trustees. The reasons which led to the establishment of that Trust are described better than I could do it myself in the following extracts from a letter by Mr. Alfred Milner, one of those who knew Arnold Toynbee best, and in whose life he is still living: -
"Among his old friends no circumstance added a more poignant sorrow to the great grief of his loss than the feeling that, except as far as the ineffaceable impression on a few minds went, he had left nothing behind him that would perpetuate his influence, or even give those who had not known him the faintest conception of the great character so early lost to the world. Under these circumstances the desire to create some sort of memorial was even stronger than it is in the ordinary case of the death of a great man, who leaves some visible record of his own behind him in the shape of accomplished work. All sorts of things were proposed - a studentship of Political Economy at Oxford, a prize, a workman"s hall, or some such institution as has actually grown up, with his name attached to it, at the East End. What finally decided us to choose the present form of the Trust was the desire to connect the memorial both with the study of Political Economy in its social aspects, to which he devoted the scholar-half of himself, and with his work among the artisan population of our great cities to which he gave the other, the missionary-half. These two churches, so inextricably blended in his disposition, his scheme of life."
