Harold Salvesen
Captain Harold Keith Salvesen (died 1970) was a British businessman, who taught economics at the University of Oxford before becoming a partner in the whaling and shipping firm Christian Salvesen.
==Early life, military service, and academia==
Harold was the son of Theodore Salvesen, who had expanded the family shipping business into whaling in the late nineteenth century. By 1910 it had become the world's leading whaling firm, thanks to a major boom in Antarctic whaling. His mother was Annie Burnet, one of the earliest women to graduate from the University of London and sister of the academic John Burnet.〔Elliot, pp. 10-26〕 Harold was educated at Edinburgh Academy and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, where he was a prize cadet. On 12 May 1915 he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Indian Army,〔https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/29159/supplement/4540〕 and appointed to serve with the 42nd Deoli Regiment in November.〔https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/29588/page/4984〕 During the First World War, he served in the Middle East, Siberia, and Persia.〔 He was promoted to Lieutenant in 1917 (backdated to May 19196),〔https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/30236/page/8460〕 and retired from the Army as a Captain in 1923.〔 He continued to use the rank throughout his civilian career, finding it useful in conveying authority in a shipping business.〔Elliot, p. 29〕
After the war, Salvesen studied politics, philosophy and economics at University College, Oxford, and in 1923 was appointed a Fellow of New College to teach economics.〔 In his four years there, he taught a number of undergraduates who would become prominent Labour politicians, including Hugh Gaitskell, Frank Pakenham, and Richard Crossman, a fact of which he was greatly proud. Salvesen himself was broadly leftwing, declaring himself to be a Labour voter, but was generally distrustful of government and strongly opposed to nationalisation, His nephew, Gerald Elliot, recorded "a faith in entrepreneurial capitalism () sympathies for social welfare", and suggested that his dislike of the Conservative government was at least in part a reaction to Conservative politicians who he saw as pompous and imperialist.〔Elliot, p. 56〕 While at Oxford, he took up a one-year fellowship to study at Harvard University in the United States.〔
