About Minnie Louise Haskins

Minnie Louise Haskins

Minnie Louise Haskins

Minnie Louise Haskins (1875-1957) was an academic in the fields of sociology and philosophy.

Haskins taught for many years at the London School of Economics, where previously she had herself been a student, although by nationality she was American. Her teaching career at the LSE began at the end of the First World War and ended just before the close of the Second World War.

Despite being principally an academic, Haskins enjoyed writing poetry, and in 1908 (as part of a collection named 'The Desert') her poem The Gate of the Year was published. It is amongst the most quoted poetic works of the twentieth century, and its words are engraved on the entrance to the King George VI Memorial Chapel at Windsor Castle.
