Sir Walter Hamilton Moberly {{postnominals|country=GBR|GBE|KCB|DSO}} (20 October 1881 – 31 January 1974) was a British academic. LifeThe son of Rev. Robert Campbell Moberly and the grandson of George Moberly,[1] he was educated at Winchester and New College, Oxford. Moberly was later a lecturer in political science at the University of Aberdeen from 1905 to 1906 and served in World War I with the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, being twice mentioned in despatches. After the war, he was professor of philosophy at the University of Birmingham from 1921 to 1924, Principal of the University College of the South West of England from 1925 to 1926, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Manchester from 1926 to 1934, Chairman of the University Grants Committee from 1935 to 1949 and Principal of St Catherine's Foundation from 1949 1955. Moberly was also an author, having written such books as The Crisis in the University (London: SCM Press)[2] and The Ethics of Punishment (London: Faber, 1968 {{ISBN|0-571-08438-9}}). He was a great-uncle of the theologian R. W. L. Moberly. LegacyWinchester College's main library is named after him; Moberly Tower, a hall of residence at the Victoria University of Manchester was named after him. It was part of the refectory complex built in the 1960s; the tower was demolished ca. 2008.{{Citation needed|date=October 2010}} The Walter Moberly Building is also named after him at Keele University. It was built in 1954 and originally named the Conference Hall; it was renamed the Walter Moberly Hall in May 1960. This recognised Moberly's contribution to the creation of the experimental University College of North Staffordshire (the "Keele Experiment"), which received the Royal Charter as the University of Keele in 1962. A house in the former Duryard Hall of Residence at the University of Exeter was also named after him, but has since been demolished. References
