Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the University of Cambridge Although the present volume appears as one of a series especially designed to illustrate Church History, the writer has not sought to modify the treatment of the subject in order to establish its claim to a place in such a category. The following sketch will suffice to show that it was in the University of Cambridge that the Reformation in England had its real commencement; that it was there that Puritanism first assumed a distinct organisation, and at the same time encountered the mo6t effective resistance; that it was there also that a movement which most materially influenced the religions thought of the seventeenth century, - the teaching of the Cambridge Platonists, - took its rise and made its most important contributions to the cause of freedom and toleration.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Cambridge University Press: 1521-1921 S may be inferred from the title-page, this book has been written to mark the four hundredth anniversary of Cambridge printing. Of the original authorities used in its compilation the most valuable has been the large collection of documents relating to the Press Which are preserved in the Registry of the University. Access to this col lection has enabled me to glean some fresh informa tion concerning the careers of the university printers and a series of accounts and vouchers from I 697 to I 742 has brought to light several new titles of books printed at Cambridge during that period.

Download or read book A Short History of Newnham College Cambridge Classic Reprint written by Alice Gardner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Newnham College, Cambridge This little book is primarily intended for present and past students of Newnham College and for the numerous friends who have been helpers or sympa thetic spectators of its early progress. At the same time I venture to hope that it may prove interesting and suggestive to a wider circle of persons practically or theoretically concerned in movements for the higher education of women. Of the deficiencies of this short history, no one could be more fully aware than the writer herself. But for the expressed wish of the Council of Newnham College, it would never have been attempted, nor could it have been written at all without the kind co-operation of friends, who, like myself, had known the College from the inside. I would especially thank the present Principal, Miss B. A. Clough, and the Registrar, Miss E. M. Sharpley, for supplying me with information and with kindly criticisms through out my task. It has been gratifying to realize that the Publisher is son of an early friend of the College. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Its purpose is to Show the conditions of medieval England Which shaped the University in its beginnings, and the intellectual needs which, in successive centuries, it was the aim of its benefactors and the founders of its colleges to satisfy. In the chapters which deal with post-reforma tion times I have made no continuous survey of the life and studies of the University, but have aimed at showing its character at certain epochs in its history, and its influences on some of its most eminent sons who have carried those influences into national Spheres of science or letters. Incidentally I have endeavoured to present a picture of men and manners at Cambridge at the time when it was known to each of these great men, and of scenes in college courts and.

Download or read book A History of University Reform From 1800 A D To the Present Time written by Alfred Isaac Tillyard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-11 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of University Reform From 1800 A. D. To the Present Time: With Suggestions Towards a Complete Scheme for the University of Cambridge A few words of explanation may be given as to how this book came to be written. In July, 1907, Bishop Gore raised a discussion in the House of Lords on University Reform, and so brought the question prominently forward. I spent the summer of that year in thinking out and writing down my own ideas on it. In October an outline of them was published in The Cambridge Independent Press and also in the now defunct London daily paper, The Tribune. It then occurred to me that it might be of advantage if an account of the views held by those who had advocated reform in the past, and of the main changes effected by legislation, could be put into the hands of the public. The present volume is the result. I have discovered to my great satisfaction how little originality there was in my suggestions. The germs of the chief of them had been in print for many years, though at the time I did not know it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The University of Cambridge, in the Eighteenth Century His virtues, however, have perished with him and he has come down in history with a sorry and tarnished reputation. It is popularly believed that he was lazy and self-indulgent; but there is good reason to think that his failings have been exaggerated. Though Cam bridge in the eighteenth century was sadly lacking in eminent mathematiciansl, it was not wanting in great classical scholars; and a century of university history which can boast of Bentley, Porson, Dawes and Mark land may be accounted to have paid its debt and more than its debt to classical scholarship. It can of course be contended that scholars of such merit were rare, that they were the exception rather than the rule, and that to derive from them the standard of industry prevailing in the university is to argue from the particular to the general; but, inasmuch as it is the inevitable conse quence of the progress of learning that the greater part of the work of one generation is superseded by the next, and that only a comparatively few students are remembered for all time, it is particularly necessary to be cautious of assuming that idleness must have been almost universal because the proofs of industry are not very obvious. It is true that research was not quite so much the order of the day as it is at present; but the claims of learning and scholarship were certainly not completely disregarded. No one now troubles to in vestigate the high dusty shelves of college libraries on which repose the volumes on philosophy, divinity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

In preparing the Sermon for the press, I found it impossible to do justice to so important a subject, without entering into a minuteness of detail and an extent of investigation which was totally incompatible with the form of publication which I had at first proposed.

Book excerpt: This volume ranges in time over a very long period and covers the Greeks' most original contributions to intellectual history. It begins and ends with philosophy, but it also includes major sections on historiography and oratory. Although each of these areas had functions which in the modern world would not be considered 'Literary', the ancients made a less sharp distinction between intellectual and artistic production, and the authors included in this volume are some of Europe's most powerful stylists: Plato, Herodotus, Thucydides and Demosthenes.
