In 1919, FM Simpson resigned his professorship at what was becoming known as The Bartlett School of Architecture following Herbert Henry Bartlett's donation to build a purpose-designed home for UCL's architecture school and his permission, granted in 1919, for his name to be used. The initial beneficiary of this munificence, and of Simpson's legacy, was his successor Albert Richardson (1880-1964) who would remain in post until 1946. Though some remembered Richardson with affection and enjoyed his lectures, this would be a period when The Bartlett retreated from the forefront of architectural education, a trend that continued under Richardson's successor Hector Corfiato. Not until 1960 would The Bartlett again take the lead in architectural education.
