Cambridge University raised the status of Political Economy in the mid-nineteenth century, a rise finalised and symbolised by the full-fledged professorship conferred upon Henry Fawcett in 1863. This article sets out a historical description of this rise towards its final phase, by examining economic discourses of academics on the Cambridge network. The central observation is that behind this process was a gradual acceptance of free trade, gradual in the sense that it was not as a sudden reaction to the repeal of the Corn Laws but with the changing portrayal of Ricardo as the economist of rent theory.
