==Life==
William Ritchie Sorley was born in Selkirk, the son of Anna Ritchie and William Sorley, a Free Church of Scotland minister. He was educated at Edinburgh University and Trinity College, Cambridge. He was Knightbridge Professor of Philosophy in the University of Cambridge from 1900 until 1933. He died, aged 79, at Cambridge.
He is now remembered for his (''A History of British Philosophy to 1900'' ), published in 1920, with its idiosyncratic slant, as a retrospective view from the point of view of British Idealism. Among his other published works are: (''The Ethics of Naturalism: a Criticism'' ) (second edition 1904), (''The Moral Life and Moral Worth'' ) (1911), and his Gifford Lectures (''Moral Values and the Idea of God'' ) (second edition 1921). The poet Charles Sorley was his son.
During the long argument about admitting women as students at Cambridge, there were votes by the Senate in 1897 and again in 1920, following intense public debates among lecturers and undergraduates, and the circulation of many flysheets propounding arguments for and against. Sorley was persistently hostile to any presence of women in Cambridge and argued that they were not after equality but sought power and would damage university life. He authored several flysheets with Prof. Ridgeway - both wanted women totally excluded from Cambridge and instead a separate women's university set up for them.〔McWilliams-Tullberg, Rita Women at Cambridge: A Men's University, though of a Mixed Type, Gollancz 1975〕
