Imperial College must not “disown” one of its founding fathers, Thomas Huxley,
:
eminent scientists have warned as they urged the university not to remove his
bust or rename a building named after him.

Several of the university’s academics have spoken out to defend the 19th-century
biologist against accusations of “scientiHc racism” which they say are “false”.

They are backed by some of the country’s leading scientiHc Hgures, including
Prof Richard Dawkins and the Nobel laureate Sir Prof Paul Nurse.
:
Huxley 'fought the virulent pro-slavery scientific racism of his day', scientists say

Their intervention comes as Imperial College considers the recommendations of

an independent history group, which it set up in the wake of the Black Lives
Matter protests in 2020, to examine the university’s colonial links.

The history group advised that Huxley’s bust should be removed because he
“might now be called racist” and the Huxley Building on campus renamed.

Their report, published in October, explained that while Huxley was an

abolitionist he also wrote an essay which “espouses a racial hierarchy of
:
intelligence, a belief system of ‘scientiHc racism’ that fed the dangerous and false
ideology of eugenics”.

It went on to say that this “falls far short of Imperial's modern values” and as such
his bust be removed from display and the Huxley building renamed.

'An ardent abolitionist'

In a letter to The Telegraph, a group of 39 leading scientists - including 17 from

Imperial College - are imploring Imperial College not to turn their back on him.

“Huxley was an ardent abolitionist who fought the virulent pro-slavery scientiHc
racism of his day and publicly welcomed the defeat of the Confederacy in 1865,”
they say.

“From childhood poverty, Huxley rose on merit to become President of the Royal
Society and Privy Counsellor. ‘Darwin’s Bulldog’, he fought for the theory of
evolution, and Hrst demonstrated our evolutionary descent from an ape-like
ancestor.”

Inspired by the laid-back bohemian energy, casual chic and

welcoming multicultural spirit of the Mediterranean,
The letter acknowledges that early in his career he believed in a hierarchy of
races but added that “as he aged he became sceptical of racial stereotypes”.

It goes on to note that Huxley “reformed London’s schools, was a principal of a

working men’s college, wrote volumes of journalism, gave lectures for working
people and opened his classes to women”.
:
The letter says: “He was instrumental in founding the Royal College of Science,
later Imperial College, the very institution that now seeks to disown him.

'Many sta1 were outraged'

“Huxley’s early belief in a hierarchy of races is not ours. But, for his scientiHc
accomplishments, his conviction that all men and women should be judged on
their merits, civic-mindedness, and the reforming zeal he brought to British
science and education, we remain in his debt. For these reasons we think his
name should stay on Imperial’s walls.”

Prof Armand Leroi, an expert in evolutionary developmental biology at Imperial

College, said the recommendations produced by the history group are “frankly
shocking”.

“Many members of sta] were quite outraged, especially the biologists,” he said.
“Huxley was such a champion of egalitarianism, of access to science, of working
class education. These are all things he worked for tirelessly in his life.

“By the standards of the day he was an extraordinarily enlightened man - he

fought against the racist scientists of his day who were allied with slavery
ideologues in the US. He should be seen in the context and the mood of his time.”
:
Prof Leroi said that it is “perfectly right” for an institution to examine its own
history but added that removing Huxley’s name and bust is a “knee jerk reaction”.

A spokesman for Imperial College said that its governing body - known as the
president’s board - will have an update next month about its proposed course of
action.

Just another self elected quango set up to destroy our real history and promote the more
extreme aims of Black Lives Matter more than any other lives! Their history is faulty as is
their qualification to make any such decisions. Time all these idiots and extremists were
swept away with their biased virtue signalling garbage and our so called centres of
learning returned to doing just that learning and not re writing and dumbing down with
propaganda. History is just that history warts and all and not subject to wishful re writing
especially by the bunch of clowns so intent on doing so.

If they have any sort of government funding it should be removed immediately, and we
should stop funding all these ridiculous committees.

As a graduate (engineering) over 50 years ago I have always felt a pride in the

Now it seems that this asylum of good sense is being trashed by the lunatics.

Perhaps the imminent departure of the current "President" , Alice Ghast, might presage a
return of common sense. I sincerely hope so.

Absolutely no one in the 19th Century or any previous Century, whether in Europe, Asia,
Africa or anywhere else fully conformed to modern political correctness. Not Abraham
Lincoln, Robert Owen, Karl Marx, no African or Asian king or chieftain of the time, not St
Francis of Assisi, Marcus Aurelius, Socrates, Confucius or Jesus. Scarcely a single one, if
any, of these people supported Gay Marriage, said that 'trans women are women',
opposed cultural appropriation or denounced it as racist to say 'coloured people' rather
than 'people of colour'.

So, we can either cancel and condemn all 5,000 years of recorded history, arts and
sciences and all our ancestors as irredeemably flawed, or, more sensibly, we can accept
that modern political correctness is itself likely to prove as transient as most previous
movements and in time will be replaced by something else. In the meantime we should
preserve our heritage in case future generations want it.

The fact that Huxley was brought up in an overtly racist culture (everybody was in those
days) and became an avid anti-slaver should warm the cockles of every BLM supporter's
heart. However, it is obvious that nobody from that era, nobody white that is, can pass the
modern threshold of a 'good' man so why persist with these exercises of checking out
peoples views from 200 years ago?

I bought a set of 1906 Harmsworth Encyclopedia when in my late teens and recall an entry
on black Africans which stated that they were of an intelligence equal to a 12 year old
British child. It was clearly a common belief, so picking on an abolitionist is simply absurd.
Far better to accept the truth of what people genuinely believed at the time, however
misguided it was by current standards.

Let me name the 'History Group' for what they are - Intellectually stunted, self-righteous,

You have to have scaled new heights of witless self-righteousness to judge historical
figures against current beliefs. It is a pity that these intellectually stunted charlatans
posturing as 'academics' don't even have the wits to understand why the concept of
retrospective legislation is shunned by every single democracy on the planet.

It really is time members of these 'groups' were named and opened up to the ridicule they

I think you are probably correct about "third-rate" which leads me to ask, how they
attained any authority in the first place -- perhaps therein lies the answer, perhaps we
might prefer as MLK stated that Huxley and all others should be apprehended for the
strength of their character and accomplishments -- Particularly if promotion of
Egalitarianism is what was the result of Huxley's later accomplishments -- since it is
seldom useful to eat one's natural allies IMHO.

...'he may now be called a racist', says it all. Ancient tribes and civilisations had what we
can now call abhorrent traditions and rituals like: live human sacrifices, cannibalism,
mutilations, slavery (yes, slavery !) of rivals, etc., etc... So by that definition, we should just
cancel the world and be done with it. Time for free-thinking scientists and academics to
