The Ship 2014/2015
A more unusual focus in your magazine this College St Anne’s year: architecture and the engineering skills that make our modern buildings possible. The start of our new building made this an obvious choice, but from there we go on to look at engineering as a career and at the failures and University of Oxford follies of megaprojects around the world. Not that we are without the usual literary content, this year even wider in range and more honoured by awards than ever. And, as always, thanks to the generosity and skills of our contributors, St Anne’s College Record a variety of content and experience that we hope will entertain, inspire – and at times maybe shock you. My thanks to the many people who made this issue possible, in particular Kate Davy, without whose support it could not happen.

Introduction
1 Introduction The English word “museum” comes from the Latin word, and is pluralized as “museums” (or rarely, “musea”). It is originally from the Ancient Greek (Mouseion), which denotes a place or temple dedicated to the Muses (the patron divinities in Greek mythology of the arts), and hence a building set apart for study and the arts, especially the Musaeum (institute) for philosophy and research atAlexandria by Ptolemy I Soter about 280 BCE. The first museum/library is considered to be the one of Plato in Athens. However, Pausanias gives another place called “Museum,” namely a small hill in Classical Athens opposite the Akropolis. The hill was called Mouseion after Mousaious, a man who used to sing on the hill and died there of old age and was subsequently buried there as well. The Louvre in Paris France. 2 Museum The Uffizi Gallery, the most visited museum in Italy and an important museum in the world. Viw toward thePalazzo Vecchio, in Florence. An example of a very small museum: A maritime museum located in the village of Bolungarvík, Vestfirðir, Iceland showing a 19th-century fishing base: typical boat of the period and associated industrial buildings. A museum is an institution that cares for (conserves) a collection of artifacts and other objects of artistic,cultural, historical, or scientific importance and some public museums makes them available for public viewing through exhibits that may be permanent or temporary. The State Historical Museum inMoscow. Introduction 3 Most large museums are located in major cities throughout the world and more local ones exist in smaller cities, towns and even the countryside. -
The Ship 2016/2017
It’s been a turbulent year since the last issue of College St Anne’s The Ship: the shock result of the EU referendum and an unexpected election in the UK; the unexpected result of presidential elections in the USA; the divisive impact across Europe of the biggest refugee exodus since World War II; and the growth of religious intolerance – University of Oxford the underlying cause of terrorist attacks from Manchester and London to the further reaches of the Middle East and Africa. You will find all this reflected in the pages of this issue. And a good deal more of a positive and, College Record St Anne’s I hope, entertaining nature: the British passion for our amazing built heritage, our enduring fascination with crime fiction; a stirring reminder of our College history alongside a vision for its future from our new Principal; and a celebration of the opening of our long-awaited new library. All this and more. With the certain knowledge that I am repeating myself, I marvel every year at the range and engagement of our alumnae 2016 – 2017 across the world. We may not have succeeded in getting a comment direct from President Trump’s Oval Office, but the inimitable Alex, as always, has the last word on the changing face of the student world. • Number I cannot thank all our distinguished contributors enough for taking the time to make this latest issue of The Ship an essential read.

The Ship 2015/2016
From lights over London to a village in College St Anne’s Ethiopia; from reflections on Dublin’s Easter Rising of 1916 to the role of African women in transforming their continent; from the hyperactivity of life on the trading floors of the Square Mile to the more leisurely activities University of Oxford enjoyed by the members of our SAS. St Anne’s people are everywhere, changing, shaping and enjoying the world in which they move. The range and scope of this year’s issue of The Ship is as varied and engaging as ever. I thank St Anne’s College Record all those who have taken the time and effort to make it so by responding to the demands of an importunate editor.
