Abstract:	In spite of his active involvement in race relations in South Africa in the 1920s and in the U.S.A. in the 1930s, C.T. Loram (1879-1940), 'a pioneer of race relation studies' and 'the famous expert on Native education', has remained a relatively obscure figure. Yet his leadership in establishing the South African Institute o Race Relations and his organization of race relations conferences in America justify a closer examination of his work and attitudes. His attitudes toward race relations expressed through his work for the South African government, the Institute of Race Relations, the Phelps Stokes Fund, Carnegie Corporation, and Yale University seem to have been representative of white liberal thought in his day. This study may help to clarify the term 'liberal' as applied to whites working in race relation between World Wars I and II. Notes.
