We have, for instance, endowed a new Fellowship the in Modern History, securing teaching of 9th and 20th century history for our undergraduates. We have created a portfolio of undergraduate Rector bursaries to help able students who are suffering financial hardship, often because of difficult family circumstances. We have launched new graduate scholarships to attract the brightest and best from around the world, and especially from developing countries. And we have transformed the appearance of the Chapel, by cleaning the dingy grey stonework to reveal creams and golds of astonishing beauty. Thanks to your generosity, we are able to help students who want to attend academic courses or conferences abroad or to buy expensive textbooks for their courses. We have extended our range of travel scholarships. And we have set up an ambitious programme to offer career guidance and internships, many of which are linked to bursaries to ensure that it is not just students from privileged backgrounds who can afford to take up work experience places in the long vacations.

Rector 2 Donors’ Report 2006 We have been fortunate at Exeter College to enjoy nearly seven centuries of philanthropy and we are tremendously grateful to all the Old Members, Fellows, Parents and Friends who have been generous to us over the past year. But I wonder whether, in the next few years, we can do even better. I notice that 23% of our Old Members have made a donation in the past year. That is about the average for Oxford Colleges, although less than half of what many American universities achieve. However, I am struck by the fact that nearly half of our final year of undergraduates have contributed philanthropically. This is an inspiring sign of their belief in the need for each generation of Exonians to give back something for the benefit of those who come after them. Our students know the value of what they have received from the generosity of past generations, and are happy to continue the tradition. It would be wonderful if all our Old Members could match their faith and commit to supporting the College in the years leading up to our 700th birthday. A College is a remarkable institution, with some of the best characteristics of a club, but also those of a family. Each generation plays its part in supporting those who come after. For the sake of posterity, and for the future of scholarship, thank you for your support in the past and the promise of continuing encouragement in the future.

  • Political Theologies in Late Colonial Buganda
    POLITICAL THEOLOGIES IN LATE COLONIAL BUGANDA Jonathon L. Earle Selwyn College University of Cambridge This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2012 Preface This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text. It does not exceed the limit of 80,000 words set by the Degree Committee of the Faculty of History. i Abstract This thesis is an intellectual history of political debate in colonial Buganda. It is a history of how competing actors engaged differently in polemical space informed by conflicting histories, varying religious allegiances and dissimilar texts. Methodologically, biography is used to explore three interdependent stories. First, it is employed to explore local variance within Buganda’s shifting discursive landscape throughout the longue durée. Second, it is used to investigate the ways that disparate actors and their respective communities used sacred text, theology and religious experience differently to reshape local discourse and to re-imagine Buganda on the eve of independence. Finally, by incorporating recent developments in the field of global intellectual history, biography is used to reconceptualise Buganda’s late colonial past globally. Due to its immense source base, Buganda provides an excellent case study for writing intellectual biography. From the late nineteenth century, Buganda’s increasingly literate population generated an extensive corpus of clan and kingdom histories, political treatises, religious writings and personal memoirs. As Buganda’s monarchy was renegotiated throughout decolonisation, her activists—working from different angles— engaged in heated debate and protest.

At that time he had been a Student and Tutor in Politics at Christ Church, Oxford, since 1946. He had published admired revisionist studies of the soldier Lord Haig (1952) and the politician Bonar Law (1955), but unquestionably it was the brilliant success of his biography of Disraeli in 1966 that stimulated support for his election. Robert Norman William Blake was born in the Manor House, Brundall, on the Yare, Norfolk, a little outside Norwich, on 23 December 1916. His father, William Joseph Blake (1877–1964), born and brought up in Cornwall, was senior history master at the King Edward VI Grammar School in Norwich. His mother, Norah Lindley, née Daynes (1886–1957), of a Brundall family, was the daughter of a prominent Norwich solicitor. Blake’s second given name, Norman, was shared with a maternal uncle, His Honour John Norman Daynes, QC (1884–1966), who was a Judge of County Courts, 1945–57. For all his life, Blake identified himself fervently with his native county; but it was through his maternal line that his Norfolk roots originally ran deep. It was from his uncle Norman that in 1966 he inherited Riverview, a fine and ample Victorian house in Brundall with terraced gardens overlooking the Yare. Riverview remained his beloved retreat for the rest of his life. The eldest of three children (there was a brother who died young, and a sister, Jill), Robert attended a dame school in Brundall before going on to the King Edward VI School in Norwich where his father taught him history.

  • Adventures in Criminology.Pdf
    ADVENTURES IN CRIMINOLOGY Sir Leon Radzinowicz is one of the leading figures in the development of criminology in the twentieth century, working as an academic criminologist, an adviser to governments and as the founding Director of the Institute of Criminology at the University of Cambridge. This account intertwines Sir Leon’s personal narrative as a criminologist with the development of criminology itself. Drawing on his long career spanning seventy years, from the 1920s to the present day, he writes about fundamental changes which have affected our understanding of crime and criminals, of criminal justice and penal systems, and of the tensions and dilemmas these pose for democratic societies. He offers a unique perspective on the intellectual and institutional history of criminology within a wide comparative perspective. CONTENTS List of plates x Foreword by The Rt. Hon. The Lord Woolf, Master of the Rolls xi Acknowledgements xiv 1 At the creation 1 The maestro 1 The status quo 4 New horizons 9 The design of a Code of Social Defence 14 The demise of criminological positivism 19 2 From an active volcano to a well-ordered scenery 26 Return to Geneva 26 Swiss old and new ways 30 Carl Stooss 32 Searching for a via-media 33 Going beyond traditional punishment 36 Social defence slides into social aggression 38 The pioneer left behind his œuvre 41 Some preconditions for penal progress 43 3 Towards a medical model of criminal justice 48 Pressures for change in Belgium 48 Criminal anthropology at work 54 Dr Louis Vervaeck Anthropological penitentiary

  • Laura Moré Tutora: Núria Jornet Màster De Biblioteques I Col∙Leccions Patrimonials Curs 2013-2014 Convocatòria: Juny 2014 Resum Executiu
    Autora: Laura Moré Tutora: Núria Jornet Màster de Biblioteques i Col∙leccions Patrimonials Curs 2013-2014 Convocatòria: Juny 2014 Resum executiu Al llarg de la seva història, la majoria de biblioteques universitàries han rebut materials més propis dels arxius, que sovint han quedat oblidats en els magatzems, sense rebre cap tractament i, per tant, sense ser accessibles als usuaris. Les causes d'aquesta situació són: la naturalesa mateixa dels materials, que requereix un tractament complex; la manca de personal a les biblioteques i, sobretot, de personal amb la formació necessària per tractar- la; i la manca d'estàndards per al seu processament. Des de fa uns anys, la comunitat bibliotecària internacional ha entès que aquests materials constitueixen fonts primàries úniques per a la investigació i els diferents països han portat a terme diferents iniciatives, aprofitant també la gran oportunitat que suposa la digitalització i la publicació en repositoris institucionals d'accés obert. Aquest treball intenta fer una panoràmica de la visibilitat que les biblioteques universitàries donen als fons personals i les col·leccions especials i s'ha cregut interessant abordar-lo des de tres àmbits geogràfics molt inter-relacionats: Catalunya, Espanya i Europa. Els objectius són: • Veure si es dóna visibilitat als fons personals i les col·leccions especials custodiades a les biblioteques universitàries, a través dels seus llocs web. • Establir uns models de visibilitat, basats en els recursos d'informació de la biblioteca mitjançant els quals es dóna visibilitat a aquests materials. • Intentar determinar si hi ha un els models que funciona millor que els altres en termes de visibilitat.
