===Andrade controversy===
In 1952, [[Edward Andrade]] was forced to resign following a complicated controversy over the management of the Royal Institution and his powers as director, involving a power struggle with [[Alexander Rankine]] who was secretary. Following various resignations and general meetings of members, Andrade was awarded £7,000 by arbitration: the arbitrators blamed the problems on "a lack of clear definition of roles&nbsp;... an outdated constitution, and the inability of the protagonists to compromise". Andrade launched a lawsuit to set the arbitration aside, which he lost.<ref>Frank James & Vivianne Quirke "L'Affaire Andrade" in ''The Common Purposes of Life'' (Ashgate, 2002)</ref>
