  • Reginald Walter Macan (Master 1906-23)
    1 UNIV ONLINE CATALOGUES UC:MA43 Papers of Reginald Walter Macan (Master 1906-23) R.W. Macan (1848–1941) attended Charterhouse from 1864–7, before becoming a scholar of University College in 1868–1872. He got a First in Classics in Michaelmas 1871. In December 1872 he became a Senior Student at Christ Church. After holding a Hibbert Travelling Scholarship from 1873–5, he became a Tutor at Christ Church in 1876–81. He had to resign his Fellowship there on his marriage, but was not re-elected, allegedly on the grounds of religious unorthodoxy. He then worked as a lecturer at both Brasenose and University College from 1882–4, before being elected as a Tutor and Fellow at University College in 1884. He was a classicist, and his most famous published work was a commentary on Books IV–IX of the Histories of Herodotus. In 1906 Macan was elected Master. Macan was a layman, and his election marks a turning point in College history: before 1906 only one layman had served as Master (Antony Gate in 1584–97), but since 1906 only one clergyman (John Wild in 1945–51) has held the post. He retired in 1923, and lived at Boars Hill until his death in 1941. See further Robin Darwall-Smith, A History of University College, Oxford (Oxford, 2008), pp. 422-47. In 1881 Macan married his second cousin Mildred Healey, and they had five children, Basil (1882–1915), who was killed in the First World War, Agatha (b. 1884), Dorothea (b. 1886), Eric (1888–1900), and Norah (b.

Plant Sale Refreshments Gardening Masterclass Chapel Pre-booked Library Tours Hall Old Library Radcliffe Quad Main Quad Shelley Memorial Refreshments main quad Once Univ began to accept undergraduates in larger numbers, our medieval Quad was no longer large enough to accommodate everyone comfortably. In 1631, an Old Member called Sir Simon Bennet died, leaving the College a large sum of money, and it was possible to start afresh with a new Quad designed by Richard Maude. Its foundation stone laid on 17 April 1634. The West range was built first because we did not need to demolish any of the existing structures, and was finished in 1635, with work then starting on the North range, facing the High Street, with its tower. This was finished in 1637. In 1639 work began on the South range, with the Hall and the Chapel, but, just as the outer walls were finished in 1642, the English Civil War broke out and all building work stopped. In the 1660s work restarted in earnest. The Chapel was finished in 1666, and then the Kitchen wing to the South of the Quad was started in 1669. Finally in 1675 work started on the last range, on the East.

When a visitor from beyond the stars – an impish and adorable alien called LU-LA – crash-lands near Mossy Bottom Farm, Shaun soon sees an opportunity for alien-powered fun and adventure, and sets off on a mission to shepherd LU-LA back to her home. Her magical alien powers, irrepressible mischief and galactic sized burps soon have the flock enchanted and Shaun takes his new extra-terrestrial friend on a road-trip to Mossingham Forest to find her lost spaceship. Little do the pair know, though, that they are being pursued at every turn by a mysterious alien- hunting government agency, spearheaded by the formidable Agent Red and her bunch of hapless, hazmat-suited goons.

  • Wallace & Gromit
    WALLACE & GROMIT: THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT Programme Notes If Nick Park and co. at Aardman gradually established themselves as a sort of millennial plasticine Ealing, then surely ‘Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit’ is their diversion into Hammer horror territory. Aardman’s plunge into the daunting world of feature-length production had begun with ‘Chicken Run’ (2000), which set something of a precedent with its own co-opting of a broad, recognisable genre, on this occasion the wartime prison break drama, and the much-loved Wallace & Gromit followed suit with a good old-fashioned monster spooker. Ok, it tones down its terrors in favour of good old English standbys like garden fêtes, marrow-growing contests, and aerial dogfights, yet this in itself all shows a keen awareness of the frequently clichéd vision of Britain depicted in our genre fare, with emphasis often placed on class-system clashes (compare the respective foxhunter sequences in ‘The Hound of the Baskervilles’, ‘The Tomb of Ligeia’, ‘The Plague of the Zombies’ and ‘The Final Conflict’, for example – our ‘proper’ horror films straying every bit as far from their fear focus and using traditional imagery to offer comment on wider issues). We probably have as many fictional ‘national treasures’ as we do real ones – for every Florence Nightingale or Mo Farah, say, there’s a ‘James Bond’ or ‘Sherlock Holmes’. An instant hit as soon as ‘A Grand Day Out’ took to the screens in 1989, both Wallace and Gromit leapt on to everyone’s list of praiseworthy favourites, consolidating their success with ‘The Wrong Trousers’ (1993), perhaps their defining half-hour, and ‘A Close Shave’ (1995).

  • (Or Israel) Tonge (Fellow 1648-C
    1 UNIV ONLINE CATALOGUES UC:S8 Papers of Ezreel (or Israel) Tonge (Fellow 1648-c. 1652) Ezreel (or Israel) Tonge is now best known as one of the leading players in the notorious “Popish Plot” of the late 1670s. He came from Holtby, Yorks., and matriculated at University College in 1639 aged 17. During the Civil War, he went to Chipping Norton, Oxon., to be a schoolmaster there, but returned to the College in 1648, as one of the new intake of Puritan Fellows thought acceptable to the Parliamentary Visitors. Tonge was Bursar of the College in 1649/50-1650/1, and almost all the papers concerning him in the College archives concern this episode, as he found himself in very considerable financial difficulties at the end of his year. Not only were there considerable debts owing to the College, but there were even rumours of his selling off College furniture (see UC:S8/C1/3 below). His vacation of his Fellowship in 1651 may be linked to this affair. Despite this, it seems that he campaigned fairly vigorously, to the dismay of the Fellows, to replace Joshua Hoyle as Master in 1654, but in the end was unsuccessful (see Robin Darwall-Smith, A History of University College, Oxford (Oxford, 2008), pp.174–6). From 1657-1660 he was a Fellow of the short-lived Durham College, and was then Chaplain at Dunkirk and Vicar of Leintwardine, Hereford. In 1666, he was Rector of St. Mary Stayning, London, but after his church was lost in the Great Fire, he went off to become chaplain to the garrison at Tangier for two years.

  • Materials and Movement in Stop Motion Animation
    MATERIALS AND MOVEMENT IN STOP MOTION ANIMATION Thomas Steven Fyfe Abertay University School of Arts, Media and Computer Games APRIL 2016 Abertay University Declaration Author: Thomas Steven Fyfe Title: Materials and Movement in Stop Motion Animation Qualification sought: BA (Hons) Computer Arts Year: 2016 I. I certify that the above mentioned project is my original work II. I agree that this dissertation may be reproduced, stored or transmitted, in any form and by any means without the prior written consent of the undersigned. Signature ………………………………………………………………………………………………… Date …………………………………………………………………………………………………29/04/2016 ……… i ABSTRACT Stop motion animation first evolved from the visual effects in live action filmmaking. Stopping the camera to move, add or remove something created an illusion that fooled the audience into seeing something possess its own motion. Early animations often considered as performances of visual trickery with an emphasis on movement. Animation has evolved over the last century from its early beginnings as trick films, developing as a central element to live action visual effects in the first few decades of the 20th century and as a form of animation in its own right. Throughout this evolution, stop motion has developed to utilise clay models and complex puppets in addition to everyday objects as a means to tell rich and compelling stories. With the rise of computer generated imagery (CGI), stop motion is no longer used as often for visual effects. However it continues to be explored for its visual qualities and artistic possibilities in feature films and animated shorts and these qualities help to make the case for the longevity of stop motion for years to come.

He is tried and convicted, but left free. Southampton offers to flee with him to foreign exile, but Essex declines. Essex conspirators include Francis Tresham (son of Sir Thomas Tresham), who became part of Gunpowder plot.
