He was Secretary of State for War between 1905 and 1912 during which time the " Haldane Reforms " of the British Army were implemented . As Secretary of State of War , he was instrumental in founding MI5 , MI6 , the Territorial Army , the British Expeditionary Force , and the Royal Air Force . Beyond his military contributions , Haldane was a significant figure in education , contributing to the founding of institutions such as Imperial College London and the London School of Economics . His efforts have left a lasting impact on both the UK 's defense and educational landscapes . As an intellectual he was fascinated with German thought . That led to his role in seeking detente with Germany in 1912 in the Haldane Mission . The mission was a failure and tensions with Berlin forced London to work more closely with Paris . Raised to the peerage as Viscount Haldane in 1911 , he was Lord Chancellor between 1912 and 1915 , when he was forced to resign because of allegations of German sympathies . He later joined the Labour Party and again served as Lord Chancellor in 1924 in the first Labour administration . Apart from his legal and political careers , Haldane was an influential writer on philosophy , in recognition of which he was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 1914 . Background and education Haldane was born at 17 Charlotte Square , Edinburgh , the son of Robert Haldane and his wife Mary Elizabeth , daughter of Richard Burdon-Sanderson . He was the grandson of the Scottish evangelist James Alexander Haldane , the brother of respiratory physiologist John Scott Haldane , Sir William Haldane and author Elizabeth Haldane , and the uncle of J. B. S. Haldane , Robert Haldane Makgill and Naomi Mitchison . He received his first education at the Edinburgh Academy , and then at the University of Göttingen . He gained a first and MA at University of Edinburgh where he received first-class honours in Philosophy and was Gray scholar and Ferguson scholar . After studying law in London , he was called to the bar by Lincoln 's Inn , in 1879 , and became a successful lawyer . He was taken on at 5 New Square Chambers by Horace Davey in 1882 as the junior . Haldane 's practice was a specialism in conveyancing ; a particular skill for pleadings at appeal and tribunal cases , bringing cases to the Privy Council and House of Lords . By 1890 he had become a Queen 's Counsel . By 1905 he was earning £20,000 per annum at the Bar ( equivalent to £2.7 million in 2023 ) . He became a bencher at Lincoln 's Inn in 1893 . Amongst his early friends was Edmund Gosse , the librarian of the House of Lords library . Haldane was a deep thinker , an unusual breed : a philosopher-politician . During his stay at Göttingen he expanded an interest in the German philosophers , Schopenhauer and Hegel . He had refused a place at Balliol , but in nodding respect for the Master and philosopher , T. H. Green , he dedicated his Essays in Philosophical Criticism to him . Early political career A cousin , the Whig politician Lord Camperdown encouraged the young barrister into standing as a Liberal at the General Election of 1880 . Although not elected that year Haldane joined the Eighty Club , a political dining and discussion club formed in 1879 . Membership was restricted to Liberals under the age of forty . In 1881 Haldane met H. H. Asquith , and they soon became firm friends often meeting at the Blue Post Public house on Cork Street . They were founders of the Albert Grey committee , named after Albert Grey , regularly discussing burning social issues , such as education . In November 1885 , Haldane was elected Liberal Member of Parliament for Haddingtonshire , a seat he held until 1911 . The philosopher-politician wrote several articles for the advanced and progressive Contemporary Review . In October 1888 , " The Liberal Creed " was published summarising his belief in the direction of New Liberalism . In the 1890 article " The Eight Hours Question " Haldane rejected the idea of the eight-hour day . In 1888 , he courted Emma Valentine Ferguson , sister of his Liberal party friend , Ronald Munro-Ferguson ; she broke off the engagement and subsequently lampooned him in her novel Betsy in 1892 . Haldane became firmly ensconced in the Imperialist wing of Liberalism , led by Sir Edward Grey . At the 1892 General Election , he received a shock when nearly defeated by the Liberal Unionist , Walter Hepburne-Scott , Master of Polwarth . Beatrice Webb , the socialist who was a close intimate , remarked on how alone Haldane was in the world . Haldane added the preface to Leonard Hobhouse 's The Labour Movement in 1893 . Emma Ferguson died insane in 1897 . Webb remarked , " He had pathos in his personality , a successful lawyer tinged with socialism . " Liberal Imperialist Focusing on his writings , Haldane was passed over for political office , being the only one of his group left out in the wilderness . Haldane remained an ally of Asquith and Grey in the Liberal Imperialist wing of the party , followers of Lord Rosebery rather than of Sir William Harcourt . Rosebery admired Haldane 's intellect , and the Scotsman urged upon his friend , whom he had known since 1886 , an assault on Tory power in the Lords in 1894 . Haldane joined friends at the Articles Club , including Asquith and Grey . Haldane was disappointed having failed to secure the post of Solicitor-General in October 1894 . Asquith wryly remarked " A very wrong decision come to upon inadequate grounds . " Haldane was sounded out for the Speakership by Rosebery , but refused it , declaring it to be a political death . At a meeting with Beatrice Webb Haldane told her he was disconsolate at the condition of the Liberal Party : " Rot has set in there is no hope now but to be beaten and then reconstruct a new party " . The leaders of the party were exasperated and believed Rosebery to lack planning and direction . " Although Asquith , Grey and I " , wrote Haldane , " stuck by him... we never knew when he would retire and leave us in the lurch " . When Rosebery offered the Speakership , he refused it that March . However , on 11 October 1896 , he wrote to Rosebery that he " was the leader of a revolution in our party " . On 11 August 1902 , Haldane was admitted to the Privy Council , following an announcement of the King 's intention to make the appointment in the 1902 Coronation Honours list , published in June that year . The King used his influence and charm to cultivate allies , bringing cross-party groups like The Souls together in consensual amity . Balfour 's administration leant on Haldane 's philosophy for educational reforms . After the Conservative government of Arthur Balfour fell in December 1905 there was some speculation that Asquith and his allies Haldane and Grey would refuse to serve unless Henry Campbell-Bannerman accepted a peerage , which would have left Asquith as the real leader in the House of Commons . Haldane had suggested involving the King at Balmoral to ' kick CB upstairs ' . However , the plot ( called " The Relugas Compact " after Grey 's Scottish lodge where the men met ) collapsed when Asquith agreed to serve as Chancellor of the Exchequer under Campbell-Bannerman . Haldane wrote , " One longs for Rosebery had he been coming in to his right place at the head of affairs , we could have gone anywhere with confidence . But it seems now as if this were not to be and we have to do the only thing we can do , which is to resolutely follow a plan of concerted action " . On 13 December 1905 , Haldane was appointed Secretary of State for War , but he may have been offered the jobs of Attorney-General and Home Secretary . ( Grey became Foreign Secretary ) . Unity in the Liberals helped them obtain the largest electoral majority in the party 's history in the 1906 general election . Secretary of State for War As early as January 1906 Haldane was persuaded by fellow Liberal Imperialist Edward Grey to begin planning for a Continental war in support of the French against the Germans . However , Haldane 's first estimates reduced the Army by 16,600 men and reduced expenditure by £2.6m to £28 million , as the Liberals had been elected on a platform of retrenchment . By 1914 Britain spent 3.4 % of national income on defence , little more in absolute terms than Austria-Hungary 's 6.1 % . Army expenditure was determined according to a formula devised by the Esher Committee . In 1900 , during the Boer War , army expenditure was £86.8m , by 1910 ( a low point , after four years of cuts under the Liberals ) it had dropped to £27.6m and by 1914 it had risen back to £29.4m . In March 1914 effective expenditure on the Army , after allowing for increased pensions and £1m set aside for military aviation , was still less than in 1907-8 , and £2m less than in 1905-6 ( despite a 20 % rise in prices since then ) . In October 1907 Haldane was intimately involved with the negotiations at Windsor with Kaiser Wilhelm II . The Germanophile and linguist was thrilled to be summoned at 1 am to talk with the Emperor over whisky on arms reduction principles . But the import was the Berlin-Baghdad railway which Germany was hoping to construct with British approval . A fluent German-speaker , Haldane was lulled into a false sense of security believing ' like a bear with a sore head ' that he had won a great deal . Another such conference took place at Balmoral in September 1909 . But the Kaiser , refusing to converse with a mere secretary , arrogantly insisted that only the King was of equal rank . Despite the budgetary constraints , Haldane implemented a wide-ranging set of reforms of the Army , aimed at preparing the army for an Imperial war but with the more likely ( and secret ) task of a European war . The main element of this was the establishment of the British Expeditionary Force of six infantry divisions and one cavalry division . The Official Historian Brigadier James Edmonds later wrote that " in every respect the Expeditionary Force of 1914 was incomparably the best trained , best organised and best equipped British Army ever to leave these shores " Haldane at West Point sometime before the Great War . Richard Haldane leaving reviewing grounds with Clarence Page Townsley : Capt E.R Householder ; Capt E.R. Gregory Army reforms Main article : Haldane Reforms Haldane set up the Imperial General Staff . Before Haldane , there was only the Defence Committee of the Cabinet , which met only in emergencies , and the Colonial Defence Committee . Esher had recommended the setting up of an Army Council and the abolition of the post of Commander-in-Chief , but few of his recommendations had been implemented before the change of government in December 1905 . Haldane 's reforms also created the Territorial Force of 14 divisions ( the original plan was for 28 ) and 14 mounted Yeomanry brigades at home , the Officer Training Corps and the Special Reserve . In all the reforms , Haldane worked closely at the War Office with Major-General Haig . By coincidence , both men had been born in Charlotte Square , in Edinburgh . J. A . Spender later wrote of how Haldane got the best work out of an able but verbally-incoherent soldier ( thought to refer to Haig ) by not scoring verbal points off him , as many politicians would have done . Usually critical , Rosebery remarked on Haldane 's interest in philosophy , declaring : " I have read his Secret Memorandum , and that was enough " . In 1907 and 1908 , Haldane passed far-reaching reforms to Army management . He was accredited as an efficient bureaucratic leader , notably founding the Territorial Army in a Second Memorandum . His reforms re-oriented British military policy , revamped army organization along the lines of the German General Staff , upgraded the training of the auxiliary forces , and created an efficient and economically run service . Those reforms enabled Britain to send some 120,000 men to France in fifteen days in August 1914 . Haldane was also instrumental in the creation the Advisory Committee for Aeronautics in 1909 , which provided the fledgling aircraft industry in the United Kingdom with a sound body of science on which to base the development of aircraft for the next seventy years ( it was disbanded in 1979 ) . Philosopher-politician Throughout his long career and association with the modernisers or ' Limps ' Haldane used his considerable intellect to great advantage against economy . A radical liberal , Haldane was also , according to historian Martin Pugh , one of the " best supporters " of David Lloyd George 's " People 's Budget . " During the constitutional and budget crisis of 1909-11 , Haldane advised his friend and Prime Minister , Asquith on the legal niceties of his stance towards the monarch , who was outraged at the firebrand speeches from Churchill and Lloyd George . Stumbling from illness to illness , Haldane 's own bad health was similar to King Edward 's declining fortunes . The Viscount Haldane , Lord Chancellor , 1912 Two elections ensued , one in January and another in December 1910 , before in 1911 he was raised to the peerage as Viscount Haldane , of Cloan in the County of Perth . He became Leader in the Lords , responsible for the passage of the Parliament Act . On Lord Loreburn 's retirement in June 1912 , Haldane succeeded him as Lord Chancellor , making a self-deprecating speech as to his abilities as a legal expert . Haldane Mission of 1912 to Berlin Main article : Haldane Mission 1912 saw the unsuccessful attempt of the Haldane Mission , an effort to quell the friction between Britain and Germany arising because of their escalating naval arms race . The mission was a failure because the Germans would agree to slow the tempo of its warship construction only if Britain promised to remain neutral if Germany should become engaged in a war where " Germany could not be said to be the aggressor . " Above all Berlin wanted Britain to remain neutral in a war between Germany and France . That carried an unacceptable risk encouraging Germany to go to war with France or Russia and taking control of the continent . First World War In March 1914 Haldane 's successor at the War Office , Jack Seely , resigned following the Curragh incident . Rather than appoint a successor , Asquith decided to take over responsibility for the War Office directly himself . Asquith relied heavily on Haldane as the previous War Secretary and empowered him to carry out tasks at the War Office on his behalf . As the situation in Europe worsened , Asquith kept Haldane abreast of developments with Sir Edward Grey at the Foreign Office . Haldane was one of the first members of the Cabinet to recognise that war with Germany was inevitable and persuaded Asquith to mobilise by assembly of the Army Council on 3 August . With war imminent , Asquith was happy for Haldane to continue at the War Office formally as Secretary of State for War , but Haldane persuaded him to appoint Field Marshal Kitchener . Following the outbreak of the First World War Haldane was falsely accused of pro-German sympathies , in July 1914 , for hosting Albert Ballin , a German shipping magnate and unofficial mediator between Germany and Britain . The accusations were widely believed and were even echoed in a popular music hall song ( " All dressed up and nowhere to go " ) in the revue " Mr Manhattan " . He was harried in particular by Beaverbrook 's Daily Express , which gave great publicity to the claim by Professor Onkel of Heidelberg that he had said " Germany was his spiritual home " . He had in fact said that about Professor Hermann Lotze 's classroom at Göttingen at a dinner party given by Mrs Humphry Ward in April 1913 to enable him to meet some German professors during his mission . In 1915 Asquith ranked his Cabinet , putting Haldane only sixth of the inner cabinet members . Dismissal from office Following the shell crisis and the resignation of Lord Fisher , in May 1915 the Liberals were obliged to form a coalition government with the Conservatives who , under the leadership of Bonar Law , insisted on the removal of Winston Churchill as First Lord of the Admiralty and the dismissal of Haldane . Haldane 's removal was on account of the popularity of the press 's campaign relating to Haldane 's alleged pro-German sympathies . Neither the former prime minister Arthur Balfour , Haldane 's closest friend amongst the Conservatives , nor Asquith , the Liberal prime minister of the day and Haldane 's closest political ally and friend for over 30 years , did anything to resist Bonar Law 's demands . Roy Jenkins in his biography of Asquith describes the charges as " absolute nonsense " and Max Egremont describes Balfour as " knowing the injustice behind the charges " and " being privately indignant " . To the detriment of their relationship , Asquith gave no personal expression to Haldane . Jenkins describes the omission as " the most uncharacteristic fault of Asquith 's whole career " attributing it to Asquith suffering the " indescribable blow " of the surprise announcement of the engagement of the woman he loved , Venetia Stanley , to one of his government ministers , Edwin Montagu . Following his departure from the government Haldane went to the front to meet his old friend General Haig , and his cousin , General Aylmer Haldane , but he was exhausted on being ejected from Cabinet . Having been awarded the Order of Merit in 1915 , in the personal gift of George V , he wrote a Memorandum of Events , 1906-15 , to defend his reputation . It was published in April 1916 . Haldane thought Lloyd George 's new government , formed in December 1916 , " very low class " . Haldane told Lord Buckmaster at this time , " Asquith is a first-class head of a deliberative council . He is versed in precedents , acts on principle , and knows how and when to compromise . Lloyd George knows nothing for precedents and cares for no principles , but he has fire in his belly and that is what we want . " As the war progressed Haldane moved increasingly close to the Labour Party , but he was held back by his ties to the Liberal Party and to Asquith . When the Irish War of Independence broke out in 1919 , Haldane was one of the first British politicians to argue that the solution lay in compromise rather than force . Contribution to Canadian constitutional law As Lord Chancellor , Haldane was a member of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council , at that time the court of last resort for the Empire . He retained the position even when he was no longer Chancellor . He sat on several cases from Canada dealing with the division of powers between the federal and provincial governments under the Canadian Constitution , particularly the interplay between sections 91 and 92 of the British North America Act 1867 . He gave the decision for the Judicial Committee in several of those cases , and showed a marked tendency to favour the provincial powers at the expense of the federal government . For instance , in the case of In re the Board of Commerce Act , 1919 , and the Combines and Fair Prices Act , he gave the decision striking down federal legislation which attempted to regulate the economy , challenging the legality of the Canadian legislature . In doing so , he gave very restrictive readings to both the " peace , order and good government " power of the federal government , as well as the federal criminal law power . Similarly , in Toronto Electric Commissioners v. Snider , Lord Haldane struck down a federal statute attempting to regulate industrial disputes , holding that it was not within federal authority under either the peace , order and good government power , nor the federal trade and commerce power . He went so far as to suggest that the trade and commerce power was simply an ancillary federal power , which could not authorise legislation in its own right . The effects of some of these decisions have subsequently been modified by later decisions of the Judicial Committee and the Supreme Court of Canada , but they have had the long-term effect of recognising substantial provincial powers . Haldane 's approach to the division of powers was heavily criticised by some academics and lawyers in Canada , such as F. R. Scott and Chief Justice Bora Laskin , as unduly favouring the provinces over the federal government and depriving it of the powers needed to deal with modern economic issues . More recently , one major study has characterised him as " the wicked stepfather " of the Canadian Constitution . Influence on education In 1895 , Haldane helped the Webbs found the London School of Economics . A fundamental believer in the power of improving education , he prepared the London University Act 1898 . The philosophy of ' national efficiency ' was central feature of the Hegelian complex , and the ideas of Schopenhauer , he had learnt on the continent , that accentuated freedom and decentralisation from an historicist 's perspective . His moral centrism sought to unify The New Liberalism , as he published it in Contemporary Review . From a pan-European perspective he analysed the German character and economic advances towards militarism . He was largely responsible for the cross-party support for Balfour 's Education Act 1902 . He told Rosebery " a sense of nation is working towards ...a great centre party . " He was also involved in the founding of Imperial College in 1907 and in his honour the University contained the Haldane Recreational Library , which now forms part of the main library collection . Haldane was a member of the Coefficients dining club of social reformers set up in 1902 by the Fabian campaigners Sidney and Beatrice Webb . He wrote a biography of Adam Smith , extolling the virtues of free trade . Unlike Joseph Chamberlain he thought there was no strong connection between fiscal and imperial unity . He opposed any attempt to protection of British trade . In 1904 , he was President of the Edinburgh Sir Walter Scott Club and gave the Toast to Sir Walter at the Club 's annual dinner , addressing " The dedicated life " to a group of students on 10 January 1907 . He also served as second Chancellor of the University of Bristol where he made an important address titled " The Civic University " outlining his educational philosophy in 1911 . At the end of his life Lord Haldane was elected Chancellor of the University of St Andrews in June 1928 . Perhaps his greatest speech on education was made in House of Lords on 12 July 1916 , at the height of the terrible slaughter on the Western Front . Writings Haldane co-translated the first English edition of Schopenhauer 's The World as Will and Representation , published between 1883 and 1886 . He wrote several philosophical works , the best known of which is The Reign of Relativity ( 1921 ) , which dealt with the philosophical implications of the theory of relativity . Haldane published " The Pathway to Reality " , based on the Gifford Lectures which he had delivered at the University of St Andrews . Some of his public addresses have also been published , including The future of democracy ( 1918 ) . * The Pathway to Reality .

OCLC 771158008 . OL 19765733W. Personal life Portrait by Philip de László , 1928 Haldane had health problems all his life . He suffered from bad rheumatism , a stigmata in the eye and in 1909 , he had to take bed rest when going blind from iritis . A lifelong walker and cigar smoker , he was diagnosed diabetic . " The latter is a large , fat man " was Haig 's initial impression of a dignified but portly demeanour . Yet , added Haig , " One seems to like the man at once . " Having worked on the Army Regulations of 1909 , Haig applauded " a most clear headed and practical man--very ready to listen and weigh carefully all that is said to him . " Osbert Sitwell described him as " entering a room with the air of a whole procession " . Leo Amery said he looked like " the old-fashioned family butler " . Another Imperialist , Winston Churchill also respected Haldane , although they were from differing social backgrounds . On promoting Churchill to First Lord of the Admiralty , Asquith advised him to seek Haldane 's advice at a meeting held at Archerfield , North Berwick . From 1907 to 1908 , he was president of the Aristotelian Society . Haldane remained a lifelong bachelor after his fiancée , Miss Valentine Ferguson , broke off their engagement . He died suddenly of heart disease at his home in Auchterarder , Scotland , on 19 August 1928 , aged 72 . The viscountcy became extinct on his death . Later years In December 1918 , Lloyd George appointed Haldane chairman of ' The Machinery of Government ' committee . However , the Armistice had taken all impetus out of the reform agenda . This work led to the idea that decisions about what to spend research funds on should be made by researchers rather than politicians being named the Haldane principle . At the time of the Paisley by-election of January 1920 Haldane was in the process of shifting his sympathies from Liberal to Labour , and was wrongly thought to have endorsed Labour ( earning a rebuke from Margot Asquith , whom Haldane thought " tiresome because she is ignorant " , to his aged mother ) . In fact he favoured Asquith 's election on a personal level . Being a fluent German speaker , ascetic philosopher and atheist , he played host to Albert Einstein , when he visited London in 1921 . As President of the Institute of Public Administration , he was a leading intellectual on the philosophy of governance . " The Reign of Relativity " combined Haldane 's love of all things German expressed by Goethe and his works , with the Hegelian military-industrial complex . Haldane admired the fact that Germans were " trained to obey " . Hegel 's aristocratic desire for law and order and defence of property against revolution had a mathematical symmetry . Hegel was a purist : his work attempted to keep science and philosophy apart . The rising tide of New Liberalism and moral realism was for Haldane , Hegel 's philological precept to improve behaviour , using the empiricism of scientific data as a proof . Haldane refused to join the platform for Asquith 's speech at Westminster Central Hall in January 1922 . He stated that his main interest in public life was now education reform and that the cause was not best served by endorsing the Liberal Party . It was not until the general election of 1923 that Haldane formally sided with Labour , and made several speeches on behalf of Labour candidates . When the Labour government was formed by Ramsay MacDonald in early 1924 , Haldane served once again as Lord Chancellor . He was also joint Leader of the Labour Peers with Lord Parmoor . Haldane was a vital member of the Cabinet as he was one of only three members who had sat in a cabinet before . Haldane was responsible for drafting the London University Act 1926 , purchasing properties in Euston . He made some famous speeches at Toynbee Hall for the Annual American Seminar .

In speech fluent and even infinite he yielded to no living idealist in the easy coinage of sentimental phraseology . Here , indeed , he was a match for those who distributed the chloroform of Berlin . Do we not remember , for instance , that Germany was his spiritual home ? But he none the less prepared himself , and the Empire , to talk when the time came with his spiritual friends in language not in the least spiritual . He devised the Territorial Army , which was capable of becoming the easy nucleus of national conscription , and which unquestionably ought to have been used for that purpose at the outbreak of war . He created the Imperial General Staff . He founded the Officers ' Training Corps . — Lord Birkenhead ( n.d. ) , Idealism in International Politics . A Rectorial Address , Delivered on November 23rd ( PDF ) , Peterborough : The Peterborough Press , p. 9 On Haldane 's death The Times described him as " one of the most powerful , subtle and encyclopaedic intellects ever devoted to the public service of his country " . The military historian Correlli Barnett claimed that Haldane had " all-round personal talents far exceeding those of his predecessors " as Secretary of State for War and that he was " a man of first-class intellect and wide education " . Walter Reid believed Haldane to be the greatest of the Secretaries for War .
