This somewhat nebulous phrase is used to denote items that have, for a variety of reasons, been deemed to have some special import by the University, and have been displayed or otherwise presented in a context in which this status has been made apparent. The types of artefacts in which particular meaning has been vested during the centuries under consideration include items of silver and gold (including the maces, sacramental vessels of the Collegiate Church of St Salvator, collegiate plate and relics of the Silver Arrow archery competition); church and college furnishings; artworks (particularly portraits); sculpture; and ethnographic specimens and other items described in University records as ‘curiosities’ held in the University Library from c. 1700-1838. The identification of particular artefacts as significant for certain reasons in certain periods, and their presentation and display, may to some extent reflect the University's values, preoccupations and aspirations in these periods, and, to some degree, its identity. Consciously or subconsciously, the objects can be employed or operate as signifiers of meaning, representing or reflecting matters such as the status, authority and history of the University, its breadth of learning and its interest and influence in spheres from science, art and world cultures to national affairs. i This thesis provides a comprehensive examination of the growth and development of the University's holdings of 'artefacts of significance' from its foundation to the mid-19th century, and in some cases (especially portraits) beyond this date. It also offers insights into how the University viewed and presented these items and what this reveals about the University of St Andrews, its identity, which changed and developed as the living institution evolved, and the impressions that it wished to project. ii Table of Contents Chapter Page Abstract i Table of contents iii List of plates v Acknowledgements ix List of abbreviations xi Introduction 1 I The collections and buildings of the University of St 11 Andrews, as perceived by visitors, from the medieval period to the mid-19th century II The silver and furnishings of the University of St Andrews, 69 15th to 18th centuries III The portrait and other fine art collections of the University of 151 St Andrews IV Scientific instruments of the University of St Andrews 199 V The Library ‘Curiosities’, and the establishment of the 241 Museum of the University of St Andrews and the Literary and Philosophical Society of St Andrews Conclusion 279 Appendix A Inventories of silver of the colleges, from the Reformation to 293 the mid-18th century iii Appendix B Catalogue of extant portraits and sculpture busts 311 Appendix C Inventories of scientific instruments held in the University 337 Library, c. 1699-1718 Appendix D List of extant items referred to (excluding portraits and 345 sculpture busts) Bibliography 353 iv List of Plates Plate 1 View of St Andrews from the south-east in John Slezer, Theatrum Scotiæ, London, 1718 2 A View of the City of St Andrews taken from the South East by John Oliphant, c. 1767 3 St. Salvators Colledge St. Andrews by John Oliphant, c. 1767 4 St. Salvators Colledge Church St. Andrews by John Oliphant, c. 1767 5 Bishop Kennedy's Tomb in R.W.

    Studio International magazine: Tales from Peter Townsend’s editorial papers 1965-1975 Joanna Melvin 49015858 2013 Declaration of authorship I, Joanna Melvin certify that the worK presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this is indicated in the thesis. i Tales from Studio International Magazine: Peter Townsend’s editorial papers, 1965-1975 When Peter Townsend was appointed editor of Studio International in November 1965 it was the longest running British art magazine, founded 1893 as The Studio by Charles Holme with editor Gleeson White. Townsend’s predecessor, GS Whittet adopted the additional International in 1964, devised to stimulate advertising. The change facilitated Townsend’s reinvention of the radical policies of its founder as a magazine for artists with an international outlooK. His decision to appoint an International Advisory Committee as well as a London based Advisory Board show this commitment. Townsend’s editorial in January 1966 declares the magazine’s aim, ‘not to ape’ its ancestor, but ‘rediscover its liveliness.’ He emphasised magazine’s geographical position, poised between Europe and the US, susceptible to the influences of both and wholly committed to neither, it would be alert to what the artists themselves wanted. Townsend’s policy pioneered the magazine’s presentation of new experimental practices and art-for-the-page as well as the magazine as an alternative exhibition site and specially designed artist’s covers. The thesis gives centre stage to a British perspective on international and transatlantic dialogues from 1965-1975, presenting case studies to show the importance of the magazine’s influence achieved through Townsend’s policy of devolving responsibility to artists and Key assistant editors, Charles Harrison, John McEwen, and contributing editor Barbara Reise.
