Thomas Martin Lindsay and Anna, daughter of Alexander Dunlop. After graduating from Glasgow University he won the first scholarship at University College, Oxford, where he was president of the Union and obtained firsts in classical moderations and literae humaniores, After a single term at Corsock Inn, studying Hebrew, with a view to entering the Church, Lindsay returned to Oxford, and in 1906 was offered a tutorial fellowship at Balliol. In 1907 he married a student at Somerville, Erica Violet, daughter of Francis Storr, I a classical scholar of repute', by whom he had a daughter and two sons. Lindsay served with labour battalions during the First World War, reaching the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He return- ed from France determined to develop his academic work in the field of adult education, particularly with the Oxford tutor- ial classes and the W.E.A., At the same time, almost inevit- ably, he was drawn into affairs in Ireland, and in 1921 he went to Dublin as an observer, with, amongst others, Walter hfoberly, staying at the house of Horace Plunkett. In 1922 he obtained the chair of Moral Philosophy at Glasgow, which he occupied until 1924, when he went back to Balliol as Master. Between 1935 and 1938 he was Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University, and in October 1938 he stood as a Progress- ive Independent candidate, supported by the Labour Party, in the Oxford City by-election. He was defeated, but his venture into politics was not insignificant. When war came with Germany, Lindsay was appointed chairman of the Oxford Joint Recruiting board, which, along with many other activities, almost worked him to death. These included radio broadcasts, writing, a long trip to America, adult education work, and organising Nuffield College. In 194-4 he collapsed with a strained heart, and although told that his active life was probably over, he made a marked recovery. After the war the teaching staff at Balliol was greatly depleted and many new Fellows were elected. Lindsay continued as Master. In 1945 he accepted a peerage and became Lord Lindsay of Birker, taking his title from Birker Moor, Low Ground, in the Lake District. The following year he went to America to lecture, and to receive an honorary U.D. from Princeton. At this time, too, he was deeply involved in the reform- ation of the German universities; and through his interest in Germany he formed connections with Wilton Park. In 1947 he was asked if he would be Principal of St. Catharine's Foundation, in Windsor Great Park, but declined. Lindsay was seventy when he retired from Balliol. He had already become involved in the proposal to set up a new university which, after much discussion and argument, came into being as the University College of North Staffordshire, later the University of Keele. The Lindsays took up resid- ence at Keele when Lindsay became its first Principal, but over-worked by the preparations he was taken ill in the summer of 1950, and once again made a speedy, though not complete, recovery, The College was formally opened by the Queen, 17 April 1951. Less than twelve months later, on 4 8 March 1952, Lindsay died, and was buried in Cumberland, near to 'Heather and clear streams', Lindsay's papers, together with a number of those of his forbears, were presented to the University of Keele by his daughter, Lady Scott, in 1971. In accordance with her wishes the arrangement of the majority of the papers, in envelopes and box files, has been preserved.

There is a strik­ ing resemblance between the writings of the temperamental Scot­ tish moralist and the rhapsodies of the stern prophets of Isra­ el. Imos and Carlyle are at one in condemning the indolent rich for "selling the needy for a pair of shoes." They share a common attitude in their bitter denunciation of an institution­ alized religion which has hid the light of spiritual power to the point of extinction under the bushel of ecclesiastical formalism. Carlyle, though he turned away from the gates of a clerical career, became the outstanding religionist of his century, touching liberal thinkers in all fields of social en­ deavor those of the church, ^together with those of the political arena.

  • Edward Caird
    EDWARD CAIRD was born in Greenock on 23 March, 1835, the fifth of seven sons of John Caird, a Greenock engineer who died in 1838, and Janet Roderick Young from Paisley. Caird lived during his early years with his aunt Jane Caird, who was deeply devout and determined to instil religion into Edward. He was educated at Greenock Academy until the age of fifteen when he entered Glasgow University in 1850. He attended classes in the Faculties of Arts and Divinity, but ill health required a change of air, first at St. Andrews, and then Errol in Perthshire where his elder brother John, destined to become Principal of the University of Glasgow, was the parish minister. He went to Dresden in order to become better acquainted with the language and classical literature. He was particularly fond on Goethe, having been influenced by reading Carlyle's poetic and philosophical idealism. In 1858 he resumed his studies in Glasgow and took classes in Divinity, but then changed his direction and translated to Oxford where he became re-acquainted with his former class friend John Nicol who founded the Old Mortality Society whose members included A. V. Dicey and T. H. Green. Caird was the only undergraduate invited to join. He was taught by Jowett at Oxford, and became extremely friendly with T. H. Green, who he regarded as a kindred spirit in politics and attitude towards education as well as in philosophy. Caird graduated in 1863, and became a fellow and tutor of Merton College until his elevation to the chair of moral philosophy at Glasgow in 1866.

They sought to extend women’s rights in parliamentary enfranchisement of women in 1918. In many ways, through a variety of organisations and Scotland this meant ‘women 30 years or over who were campaigns, often inter-related and with overlapping themselves, or their husbands, occupiers as owners or memberships. Of particular importance were the tenants of lands or premises in their constituency in forms of franchise to which women were admitted which they claimed the vote’.2 A woman could also prior to 1918, and the ways in which women be registered if her husband was a local government responded to opportunities to vote and to seek public elector; the local government franchise in Scotland office at local level. This local activity should be was more stringent than the first criterion, and this franchise was therefore more restrictive than that seen, however, in the wider context of a suffrage which applied in England and Wales.

  • Challenges To
    About the author Philosopher Lynne Renoir questions the traditional view of God as an all powerful being who created the universe and governs it according to his will. She argues that such an idea can be challenged philosophically, and that it does not accord with discoveries in modern science. On the other hand, she suggests, it is evident that experiences of transformation can occur in the lives of individuals who wholeheartedly embrace religious beliefs. Her book explores possible explanations for this situation by proposing that truth is found in the inner dimensions of a person’s being, and is not something that can be imposed from an external source. Renoir’s work was the result of her own difficulties in experiencing the transformation she sought through her Christian faith, and followed years of research undertaken in the areas of philosophy, science, and psychology.

  • Miscellaneous
    MISCELLANEOUS. JOHN CAIRD. (1820-18g8. ) Dr. John Caird, whose portrait we give in connexion with the present note, occupied the distinguished position of Principal of the University of Glasgow, JOHN CAIRD. Scotland. from 1873. till his lamented death in July, 18g8. With the exception of Gladstone and Carlyle. he was in many ways the most remarkable Scotsman of the last generation. At all events it may be said that he, along with his eminent brother, THE OPEN COURT. Edward Caird, now Master of Balliol College, Oxford, and for twenty-sevp.n years Professor of Philosophy in the University of Glasgow. accomplished more than any two men elsewhere in Europe to alter the entire intellectual outlook of a na­ tion. John Caird was born at Greenock, on the Clyde, in 1820. In 1845, after a dis­ tinguished academic career, he graduated from the University of Glasgow, and entered the ministry of the Church of Scotland as a moderate Calvinist. Between 1845 and 1857 he gained the reputation. which he never lost, of being the most elo­ quent preacher in Britain. Those who know say that no one could stand compari­ son with him, and that only Schenkel of Heidelberg served to remind one of him. He thus gained enormous influence with masses of men; and his opportunity to use this continuously came when he was removed to Glasgow, in 1857. But, ere this took place, a change had come over his opinions. He had been deeply affected by German thought, especially by Hegel and Vatke. When he was appointed to the professorship of Theology at Glasgow, in 1862, he had both occasion and time to continue his researches, with the result that he became to his countrymen the great spokesman of a modified Hegelianism.
