Abstract
Sir Frederick Lugard, the distinguished colonial administrator, believed strongly in the civilising role of British Imperialism. And within the civilising process the English Public School system and its famous games ethic held pride of place. Lugard's ethnocentric certainty in the moral inferiority of the native races of the empire stimulated in him an intense interest in education as a means of moral improvement. It was his view that the public school was a proven instrument of effective moral training and he urged its creation in Tropical Africa. In his wholly conventional Victorian upper‐class attitude to the peoples of black Africa can be discerned, in large measure, the origins of the still extant condescension towards the black communities of contemporary Britain.
