Beveridge (1879 - 1963) was the first director of the London School of Economics and is considered to be the chief architect of the British Welfare State. He was associated with social activists such as Sidney Webb, Beatrice (nee Potter) Webb, and Rev. Samuel Barnett (founder of Toynbee Hall - the grand-daddy of the faith and social-activist inspired "settlement houses") .
