Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from All Souls College To two kind friends I gladly confess I am under special obligations. The Warden from first to last has done everything in his power to smooth the difficulties of the annalist's task. He has allowed me to importune him in season and out of season nor have even the arduous labours of the vice-chancellorship prevented him from reading the following pages in ms. The last chapter, indeed, could never have been written had it not been for his aid. Would that the result as a whole proved more satisfactorily how much I have profited by his knowledge, criticism, and advice. Prof. Burrows not only put at my disposal his volume on The W orthies of All Souls, but most generously handed over to me all the notes he had made for a second edition. Only those who know how complete a master Prof. Burrows is of everything relating to the history of the College, can understand the value of this assistance. The writer can but hope that some of those who may turn over the pages of this little book may be led to increase their knowledge in the ampler and more sustaining air of Prof. Burrows' Magnum Opus. Yet gratitude must not be permitted to shift the burden of the written word. For any statement made, or opinion expressed, the author is alone responsible.

Download or read book Catalogue of the Archives in the Muniment Rooms of All Souls College Classic Reprint written by Charles Trice Martin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Archives in the Muniment Rooms of All Souls' College The documents comprised in the following Catalogue consist of the title deeds and leases of the estates belonging to All Souls' College, with letters and legal papers referring to them; charters of kings, and injunctions of archbishops, with papers and correspondence concerning the internal affairs of the College; and lastly, the accounts of the annual receipts and expenditure. The original treasury was the tower over the gateway, in which 'plate and other goodes' were kept in 'twoe chests' during the wardenship of Hovenden, and were annually examined by the warden and officers. The yearly surplus, after the payment of the College expenses, was laid up in the same place, and it appears from memoranda of evidence sent up to London for legal purposes, that the archives were also kept in the tower. They were removed in the last century to rooms which were probably built expressly to receive them, and are there stowed away in presses all made after the room was built, with the exception of a handsome oaken cabinet in the upper room, on one of the doors of which is written by the hand of Warden Hovenden, 'Confectum 1582, R. Hovenden, custode.' The rolls and books of accounts, which begin certainly in 1443, (if not earlier, as there are several rolls without dates, ) are deposited in another room by themselves. During Hovenden's wardenship, the deeds in the archives were numbered, and catalogues made of them on paper rolls.

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.

The plan or table of evolution is, it is believed, the first attempt to teach constitutional history through the eye, by chart or diagram, after the manner of some of the more exact sciences. There may, it has been thought, be an advantage to teachers and students in having the story of the constitution brought within a moderate compass, and freed, at the same time, from all possibility of political bias.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from International Law, Some Problems of the War: A Lecture Delivered Before the University of Oxford in the Hall of All Souls College on October 30, 1915 The commencement of the new academic year finds the world still held fast in the grip of this tremendous war there has as yet been no indication of slackening on either side: rather the tendency has been to growth than to decline. Fresh nations are being drawn into the struggle, wider areas are becoming subject to the devastation of hostilities. And the thoughts of every one of us are still absorbed in the problems that arise out of the war day by day, problems of strategy, of policy, of economics, and of international law. It is on some of the questions on this last subject that I take leave to address the University to-day, since they fall directly within the province of this Chair.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Souls Every living thing has a soul: and each thing which develops normally, according to the laws which govern its type, has the power Of separating soul from body at will; but men on this planet have so far lost this power that rarely can it be exercised when the body is awake and the mind conscious. This book is a result of the recovery of that lost power; and it is a record of facts. The author knows that a conscientious student uses the word fact with care, and that all human effort is subject to limitation and error; and in these respects, she claims no exemption from the common lot.

This book was released on 2016-12-23 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The High School's Cure of Souls Nor can the over-intellectualism of the university graduate be a surprize to any one who realizes the vast transformation from the older type of American college, with its deep ethical and religious character, to the university of today with its intense specialized teaching and study on the one hand, and its absorbing athletic and social life on the other - a trans formation pictured with power and fidelity by Mr. Clarence F. Birdseye in his really great book, Individual training in our colleges. What the American high school needs is just what English Rugby needed and what the immortal Arnold gave it thru his teaching and example, and as Hughes says, above all thru his unwearied zeal in creating moral thoughtfulness in every boy with whom he came into personal contact.1 Woe unto the land if its future leaders lack moral thoughtfulness in its fullest sense: both the righteous intent and the practical wis dom; only by these two elements combined in our statesmen and citizens can the republic be saved and the nation fulfil its destiny.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Progress of International Law and Arbitration: An Inaugural Lecture Delivered Before the University of Oxford in the Hall of All Souls College on October 21, 1911 I have said enough, I hope, to satisfy you, that the number of International disputes referred to arbitration has increased to a remarkable extent during the past fifty years, and that it is increasing year by year. But so far, the disputes that have been settled in this way have either turned on points of law, or have been matters of account such as the assessment of compensation and the like. The important question remains whether disputes of all kinds can be settled by arbitral procedure, and it is a question which is one of general interest to-day. The carnage and devastation of modern hostilities have increased to such a point that every civilized human being revolts from the prospect of war; and there is not one. Of us who does not desire to see arbitration take the place of resort to arms. But we have to deal with facts as they are, and there are difficulties in the way of an agreement to submit all differences to arbitration in all cases, which so far have proved insurmountable in practice.
