Notes on LSE obituaries

Links - some links above go to external newspaper sites; some to obituaries on Houghton Street Online and elsewhere on the LSE website.

LSE Magazine - unfortunately, due to space constraints, we can only include one full obituary per issue of the Magazine, along with a list of other alumni and staff who have recently died. This website is therefore the main source for obituaries of alumni and staff.

Submissions - to submit an obituary, please email alumni@lse.ac.uk.

Queries - if you have any queries, please contact us.
