This book was released on 2000-11-16 with total page 1078 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume VII of The History of the University of Oxford completes the survey of nineteenth-century Oxford begun in Volume VI. After 1871 both teachers and students at Oxford were freed from tests of religious belief. The volume describes the changed mental climate in which some dons sought a new basis for morality, while many undergraduates found a compelling ideal in the ethic of public service both at home and in the empire. As the existing colleges were revitalized, and new ones founded, the academic profession in Oxford developed a peculiarly local form, centred upon college tutors who stood in somewhat uneasy relation with the University's professors. The various disciplines which came to form the undergraduate curriculum in both the arts and sciences are subject to major reappraisal; and Oxford's 'hidden curriculum' is explored through accounts of student life and institutions, including organized sport and the Oxford Union. New light is shed on the social origins and previous schooling of undergraduates. A fresh assessment is made of the movement to establish women's higher education in Oxford, and the strategies adopted by its promoters to implant communities for women within the masculine culture of an ancient university. Other widened horizons are traced in accounts of the University's engagement with imperial expansion, social reform, and the educational aspirations of the labour movement, as well as the transformation of its press into a major international publisher. The architectural developments–considerable in quantity and highly varied in quality–receive critical appraisal in a comprehensive survey of the whole period covered by Volumes VI and VII (1800-1914). By the early twentieth century the challenges of socialism and democracy, together with the demand for national efficiency, gave rise to a renewed campaign to address issues such as promoting research, abolishing compulsory Greek, and, more generally, broadening access to the University. Under the terrible test of the First World War, still more deep-seated concerns were raised about the sider effects of Oxford's educational practices; and the volume concludes with some reflections on the directions which the University had taken over the previous fifty years. series blurb No private institutions have exerted so profound an influence on national life over the centuries as the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Few universities in the world have matched their intellectual distinction, and none has evolved and maintained over so long a period a strictly comparable collegiate structure. Now a completely new and full-scale History of the University of Oxford, from its obscure origins in the twelfth century until the late twentieth century, has been produced by the university with the active support of its constituent colleges. Drawing on extensive original research as well as on the centuries-old tradition of the study of the rich source material, the History is altogether comprehensive, appearing in eight chronologically arranged volumes. Together the volumes constitute a coherent overall study; yet each has a unity of its own, under individual editorship, and brings together the work of leading scholars in the history of every university discipline, and of its social, institutional, economic, and political development as well as its impact on national and international life. The result is a history not only more authoritative than any previously produced for Oxford, but more ambitious than any undertaken for any other European university, and certain to endure for many generations to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I doubt that anyone else will be able to offer a more comprehensive portrait of this Ripper suspect than these authors have done.”—DR. KATHERINE RAMSLAND, Psychology Today A MYSTERY SOLVED In 1888, five gruesome murders shocked the civilized public. A bloodthirsty killer was on the loose in the slums of London. The world was on the lookout for Jack the Ripper. Scotland Yard never found their man—or so they said publicly. The police knew the killer’s identity but concealed it to save the ruling class from embarrassment. The Escape of Jack the Ripper, the true story behind the Whitechapel murders, reveals how British elites manipulated the public to protect one of their own. Through meticulous research, including documents disclosed here for the first time, Jonathan Hainsworth and Christine Ward-Agius have uncovered the killer’s identity. In The Escape of Jack the Ripper, you’ll learn: How a fit of madness transformed a reputable gentleman into a savage murderer That the killer was caught literally red-handed but talked his way out of police custody About the decades-long cover-up by the press and the police to protect a well-to-do family’s reputation About the harrowing social conditions in which the murders took place and why the killer may have been a frustrated reformer How the social privileges enjoyed by the ruling class led to a miscarriage of justice A thoroughly researched and gripping tale, The Escape of Jack the Ripper solves the great Whitechapel murder mystery once and for all.

Excerpt: ...on Tuesday, Nov. 8, in Mr. Sclater-Booth's rooms at Balliol. Present, Hon. G. N. CUrZoN, Secretary, Mr. Lopes, ViceSecretary, Messrs. Bulley, Hardinge, Mowbray, Viscount Cranborne, Messrs. Iwan-muller, SclaterBooth, Pemberton, How, Thring, Talbot, Bower, Fitzgerald, Birkbeck, Owen, Marriott, RawstorNe, and Cumming. The Minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed, Mr. CUmmiNg, Balliol, subscribed the test and took his seat. Mr. Sclater-booth, in allusion to the deluge of poli tlcal speeches with which the country had been flooded during the past week, remarked that Mr. Gladstone had made himself cheap to the populace, --an observation which elicited the simultaneous response from the mouths of almost all present that Lord Beaconsfield had, on the other hand, made himself " dear." The other events upon which he touched were the interpellation of the French Ministry in the new Chamber of Deputies; the supposed negotiations being conducted between the British Government and the Vatican; and the appointment of Mr. Law as Lord Chancellor of Ireland. Mr. A. H. Hardinge (late Vice-Secretary) read a paper on the House of Lords, which he had come down from London for the purpose of delivering. Great as had been the services rendered in bygone times by Mr. Hardinge to the Canning Club, and many the occasions on which he had delighted it with his eloquence, this was the crown of them all. The wide knowledge of which the paper gave repeated evidence, the brilliant style in which it was written, and the political enthusiasm which shone through every sentence, and breathed in every word, were such as could not fail to captivate the audience, and make the essay one of the most valuable of those deposited in the archives of the Club....
