Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-One Years of Corporate Life at Edinburgh University: Being a Short History of the Students' Representative Council and an Account of Its Majority Celebrations The Universities (scotland) Act, 1889, in addition to instituting important changes in the administrative and educational arrangements in the Universities, gave statutory authority for the formation of a Students' Representative Council in each University, and empowered the Universities Commissioners to frame regulations for the constitution and functions of the Council. By this enactment the movement for a definite organisation of the students, which in Edinburgh dates from the ever-memorable Tercentenary Festival of 1884, received the sanction of the Legislature. It is true that by the preceding Universities Act, 1858, Edin burgh students were for the first time authorised to elect a Rector, who was to preside at the meetings of the University Court, and who in his turn was to nominate an assessor on the Court; but at each triennial period, as soon as the Rector was elected, the students became dormant in regard to the public life of the University, and did not awake to activity until the preparations for the next election made a fresh demand on their vivacity and energies. By the statutory recognition of a Representative Council the students acquired through it a much more definite position in the organisation of the Scottish Universities than they had previously possessed, and had inferentially imposed on them new obligations and greater responsibilities. The year 1905 marks a definite stage in the development of the movement which was started in 1884, for the Students' Representative Council has now attained its majority, and in an appropriate manner has celebrated its coming of age by a dinner, and by preparing a Short history of its rise and progress. The students, in common with the professors and other teachers, are deeply interested in the advancement of education, and in maintaining the position of the University in the front rank.

Download or read book The Social Life of Coffee written by Brian Cowan and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What induced the British to adopt foreign coffee-drinking customs in the seventeenth century? Why did an entirely new social institution, the coffeehouse, emerge as the primary place for consumption of this new drink? In this lively book, Brian Cowan locates the answers to these questions in the particularly British combination of curiosity, commerce, and civil society. Cowan provides the definitive account of the origins of coffee drinking and coffeehouse society, and in so doing he reshapes our understanding of the commercial and consumer revolutions in Britain during the long Stuart century. Britain’s virtuosi, gentlemanly patrons of the arts and sciences, were profoundly interested in things strange and exotic. Cowan explores how such virtuosi spurred initial consumer interest in coffee and invented the social template for the first coffeehouses. As the coffeehouse evolved, rising to take a central role in British commercial and civil society, the virtuosi were also transformed by their own invention.
Download or read book After Virtue written by Alasdair MacIntyre and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-10-21 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highly controversial when it was first published in 1981, Alasdair MacIntyre's After Virtue has since established itself as a landmark work in contemporary moral philosophy. In this book, MacIntyre sought to address a crisis in moral language that he traced back to a European Enlightenment that had made the formulation of moral principles increasingly difficult. In the search for a way out of this impasse, MacIntyre returns to an earlier strand of ethical thinking, that of Aristotle, who emphasised the importance of 'virtue' to the ethical life. More than thirty years after its original publication, After Virtue remains a work that is impossible to ignore for anyone interested in our understanding of ethics and morality today.

Download or read book When Scotland Was Jewish written by Elizabeth Caldwell Hirschman and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-05-07 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popular image of Scotland is dominated by widely recognized elements of Celtic culture. But a significant non-Celtic influence on Scotland's history has been largely ignored for centuries? This book argues that much of Scotland's history and culture from 1100 forward is Jewish. The authors provide evidence that many of the national heroes, villains, rulers, nobles, traders, merchants, bishops, guild members, burgesses, and ministers of Scotland were of Jewish descent, their ancestors originating in France and Spain. Much of the traditional historical account of Scotland, it is proposed, rests on fundamental interpretive errors, perpetuated in order to affirm Scotland's identity as a Celtic, Christian society. A more accurate and profound understanding of Scottish history has thus been buried. The authors' wide-ranging research includes examination of census records, archaeological artifacts, castle carvings, cemetery inscriptions, religious seals, coinage, burgess and guild member rolls, noble genealogies, family crests, portraiture, and geographic place names.
