His health collapsed and he was released in 1917. He then returned to Cambridge, and was imprisoned in Wormwood Scrubs as a conscientious objector in 1916. He worked for six months with the Red Cross in France, under the auspices of the Friends' War Victims Relief Service and then the Friends' Ambulance Unit.
In the First World War he was a pacifist, and joined the Quakers. Later in life he preferred to describe himself as 'a scientific humanist'. He had acquired socialist convictions, changing the name of the university's Fabian Society to Socialist Society and went on to become an active member of the Independent Labour Party. He took his Cambridge degree in 1915, graduating with an Ordinary BA. Hogben had matriculated into the University of London as an external student before he could apply to Cambridge and he graduated as a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in 1914. He attended Tottenham County School in London, his family having moved to Stoke Newington, where his mother had grown up, in 1907, and then as a medical student studied physiology at Trinity College, Cambridge. Hogben was born and raised in Southsea near Portsmouth in Hampshire. He developed the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) as a model organism for biological research in his early career, attacked the eugenics movement in the middle of his career, and wrote popular books on science, mathematics and language in his later career.
