Kenneth Bourne, FBA, FRHistS (17 March 1930-13 December 1992) was a British historian. A specialist of 19th-century British foreign policy, he was Professor of International History at the London School of Economics from 1976 until his death. He was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1992. Bourne was educated at the University College of the South West of England, and the London School of Economics. His book, Britain and the balance of power in North America, 1815-1908 won the Albert B. Corey Prize, awarded jointly by the American Historical Association and Canadian Historical Association, in 1969. Donald Cameron Watt (17 May 1928-30 October 2014) was a British historian. Donald Cameron Watt read Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oriel College, Oxford, graduating from Oxford University with a bachelor's degree in 1951. Watt served as a Professor of International History at the London School of Economics, where he served as the Head of the Department and Stevenson Chair of International History from 1981 to 1993. Watt edited Survey of International Affairs at Chatham House from 1962 to 1971. He was the author or co-author of 25 books. He won the Wolfson History Prize in 1990. William Norton Medlicott CBE (11 May 1900-7 October 1987) was a British historian. He was educated at University College London and the Institute of Historical Research. In 1926 Medlicott took up a post at University College, Swansea. Medlicott worked at the Board of Trade for the first year of the Second World War before being selected by Sir Keith Hancock to be a member of the Cabinet Office Historical Section. Medlicott published the results of his research in his two-volume work The Economic Blockade. From 1945 to 1953 he was Professor of History at the University College of the South-West and in 1953 he was elected to the Stevenson Chair of International History at the University of London. Medlicott succeeded in transforming it into the largest and most successful department of its type in Britain. In his works he sought to interpret twentieth-century international relations in relation to strategic and economic factors. In 1968 he was appointed to deliver the Creighton Lecture, published a year later as Britain and Germany: The Search for an Agreement. He was also secretary and president of the Historical Association for six years and was prominent in the Royal Institute of International Affairs. After a proposal from Donald Read, the Medlicott Medal was established in 1985 to recognize services to history.
