Sir Denis William Brogan, Scottish author and historian.
He studied in Glasgow, Oxford, and Harvard.
From 1939 to 1968, he was a fellow of Peterhouse and professor of political science in Cambridge.
In 1963, he received a knighthood.
He was the brother of journalist Colm Brogan and the father of historian Hugh Brogan.
He is buried in the Parish of the Ascension Burial Ground in Cambridge, according to A Guide to Churchill College, Cambridge: text by Dr. Mark Goldie, pages 62 and 63. His ex-wife Olwen Phillis Francis, OBE, archaeologist and authority on Roman Libya and mother of four children, is also buried in the same cemetery; she later became Olwen Hackett on her second marriage, when she married Charles Hackett.
He appears to have had a working relationship with political scientist AFK Organski; a copy of the latter's book 'World Politics' in the Glasgow University Library contains the following hand written note on the first blank page:
"To D.W. Brogan, In thanks for some delightful hours of talk, Kenneth Organski, New York, Aug 11 1959"
The book was presented to the GUL by Sir Denis Brogan.
Feast of Josephine Butler, Social Reformer, 1906 Commemoration of Apolo Kivebulaya, Priest, Evangelist, 1933 [In nineteenth-century America] religion became a matter of conduct, of good deeds, of works, with only a vague background of faith. It became highly functional, highly pragmatic; it became a guarantee of success, moral and material. "The proper study of mankind is man," was the evasion by which many American divines escaped the necessity for thought about God.
