To 'remedy the neglect of Slavonic and East European Studies in the UK', R W Seton-Watson proposed organising a Slavonic School, which was inaugurated in October 1915 by politician, sociologist and philosopher Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk. By the end of 1915 the School had 20 language and history students and a staff of four.
