The Coefficients was a monthly dining club founded in 1902 by the Fabian campaigners Sidney and Beatrice Webb as a forum for British socialist reformers and imperialists of the Edwardian era. The name of the dining club was a reflection of the group's focus on "efficiency". ==Membership== The Webbs proposed that the club's membership reflect the entire gamut of political beliefs, and "proposed to collect politicians from each of the parties" . Representing the Liberal Imperialists were Sir Edward Grey and Richard Burdon Haldane; the Tories were represented by economist William Hewins and editor of the ''National Review'' Leopold Maxse; and the British military was represented by Leo Amery, an "expert on the conditions of the army", and Carlyon Bellairs, a naval officer.〔 The club's membership included:〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Archives Catalogue - Coefficients )〕 * Leo Amery, statesman and Conservative politician * Richard Burdon Haldane, Liberal politician, lawyer, and philosopher * Halford John Mackinder, geographer and politician * Leopold Maxse, editor, ''National Review'' * Alfred Milner, statesman and colonial administrator * Henry Newbolt, author and poet * Carlyon Bellairs, naval commander and MP * James Louis Garvin, journalist and editor * William Hewins, economist * William Pember Reeves, New Zealand statesman, historian, and poet * Bertrand Russell, philosopher and mathematician * Sir Clinton Edward Dawkins, businessman and civil servant * Sir Henry Birchenough, businessman and civil servant * Sir Edward Grey, Liberal politician * H.
