He then gained a MSc (1892) and a DSc (1901). He visited the building of the Panama Canal in 1907, documented in his The Panama Canal and its Makers (1909). He visited the site again in 1910. He was interested in the strategy and political geography of the British Empire, hoping that British emigration to the Empire would promote the future interests of the "white races". In 1906 he was elected as a Honorary Member of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society. In 1928-29, he served as the President of the Geographical Association in the UK. (en)
