  • Modern Hong Kong
    Modern Hong Kong Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Asian History Modern Hong Kong Steve Tsang Subject: China, Hong Kong, Macao, and/or Taiwan Online Publication Date: Feb 2017 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190277727.013.280 Abstract and Keywords Hong Kong entered its modern era when it became a British overseas territory in 1841. In its early years as a Crown Colony, it suffered from corruption and racial segregation but grew rapidly as a free port that supported trade with China. It took about two decades before Hong Kong established a genuinely independent judiciary and introduced the Cadet Scheme to select and train senior officials, which dramatically improved the quality of governance. Until the Pacific War (1941–1945), the colonial government focused its attention and resources on the small expatriate community and largely left the overwhelming majority of the population, the Chinese community, to manage themselves, through voluntary organizations such as the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. The 1940s was a watershed decade in Hong Kong’s history. The fall of Hong Kong and other European colonies to the Japanese at the start of the Pacific War shattered the myth of the superiority of white men and the invincibility of the British Empire. When the war ended the British realized that they could not restore the status quo ante. They thus put an end to racial segregation, removed the glass ceiling that prevented a Chinese person from becoming a Cadet or Administrative Officer or rising to become the Senior Member of the Legislative or the Executive Council, and looked into the possibility of introducing municipal self-government.

    Annual Review 2016/17 Pushing at the frontiers of Knowledge Portrait of Dr Henry Odili Nwume (Brasenose) by Sarah Jane Moon – see The Full Picture, page 17. FOREWORD 2016/17 has been a memorable year for the country and for our University. In the ever-changing and deeply uncertain world around us, the University of Oxford continues to attract the most talented students and the most talented academics from across the globe. They convene here, as they have always done, to learn, to push at the frontiers of knowledge and to improve the world in which we find ourselves. One of the highlights of the past twelve months was that for the second consecutive year we were named the top university in the world by the Times Higher Education Global Rankings. While it is reasonable to be sceptical of the precise placements in these rankings, it is incontrovertible that we are universally acknowledged to be one of the greatest universities in the world. This is a privilege, a responsibility and a challenge. Other highlights include the opening of the world’s largest health big data institute, the Li Ka Shing Centre for Health Information and Discovery, and the launch of OSCAR – the Oxford Suzhou Centre for Advanced Research – a major new research centre in Suzhou near Shanghai. In addition, the Ashmolean’s success in raising £1.35 million to purchase King Alfred’s coins, which included support from over 800 members of the public, was a cause for celebration. The pages that follow detail just some of the extraordinary research being conducted here on perovskite solar cells, indestructible tardigrades and driverless cars.

  • Francis MANSELL 1579–1665
    Francis MANSELL 1579–1665 Mansell was born in Muddlescombe, Camarthenshire to Sir Francis and Catherine Mansell. He was educated at the free school in Hereford before attending Jesus College, Oxford in 1607. He received his BA in 1609, followed by his MA in 1611 and an All Souls’ fellowship (as founder’s kin) in 1613. Mansell became principal of Jesus College in 1620, which marked the start of a tumultuous career. He resigned amidst opposition in 1624, only to be re-elected in 1630. During this time, he was awarded his DB and DD, as well as taking up several positions within the church. Through much of the Civil War he remained in Wales to stir up Royalist support. He returned to College for the Parliamentary visitation of the University in 1647, when he was ejected from his role as principal. Mansell continued to teach until he regained his position at the Restoration, although ill health forced him to retire a year later. Mansell did much to support the expansion of college buildings. As well as extending the chapel and developing the second quadrangle, Mansell made plans for a new library to replace his predecessor’s unsuitable building, completed after Mansell’s death. Books Mansell’s personal library was described by his biographer as ‘a very compleat one, and suitable to his Great and Universall Knowledge, whether we consider the choice or the number of the Books’ (Life of Dr Mansell, pp. 15-16, quoted in Fordyce and Knox, p. 15). Although only six books have been recorded in the catalogue with Mansell’s ownership, evidence of Mansell’s library can be gleaned from several sources.

    Engagement with the communities of Oxford and Oxfordshire Did you know? St Giles’ Fair began as the parish feast of St Giles, first recorded in 1624. From the 1780s it became a toy fair, with general amusements for children. In the next century its focus shifted towards adults, with entertainment, rides and stalls. In the late 1800s there were calls for the fair to be stopped on the grounds that it encouraged rowdy behaviour. During Victorian times engineering advances brought the forerunners of today’s rides. Today the huge pieces of machinery fill St Giles’ with sparkling lights for a few days each year, and whizz within feet of ancient college buildings. The stone heads around the Sheldonian Theatre now number thirteen (there were originally fourteen, but one was removed to make way for the adjoining Clarendon Building.) It is not known what they were intended to represent – they might be gods, wise men, emperors or just boundary markers. The original heads were made by William Byrd and put up in 1669. Did you Replacements put up in 1868 were made in poor stone, know? which crumbled away; in 1972 the current set, carved by Michael Black of Oxford, were erected.

Then came the political economy, the knowledge economy, and the information economy. Now, it seems, we have the attention economy. The notion, which goes back to the 1990s, is that nowadays people compete for attention as much as for money or knowledge. According to the pundits, attention has become a currency: it has scarcity value and endless attraction. As with money, only the naïve or incapable (or the truly wise) can resist its lure. In the digital age, to be a winner in the attention economy requires constant tweeting, blogging, and updating one’s status on Facebook; a hugely time-consuming business.

  • The Inspiration and Innovation of the Eighth Article of Faith
    SCRIPTURAL STUDIES As Translated Correctly: The Inspiration and Innovation of the Eighth Article of Faith Douglas F. Salmon THE EPITOME OF ESSENTIAL LDS BELIEFS, now known as the Articles of Faith, that Joseph Smith included in his letter to the editor of the Chicago Demo- crat, John Wentworth, in 1842, has been admired by many readers.1 It was not, however, the first such formulation. In a wonderfully detailed article, David J. Whittaker has identified several different precursors that both preceded and perhaps influenced Joseph's formulation. He concludes that "nothing new appears in the Wentworth listing. Every item had been presented in Mormon literature before the time of its composing."2 In one important detail this assessment needs clarifying—that is, Joseph's state- ment concerning the Bible. 1. B. H. Roberts said of the document: "The combined directness, perspicuity, simplicity and comprehensiveness of this statement of the principles of our religion may be relied upon as strong evidence of a divine inspiration resting upon the Prophet, Joseph Smith" (in Joseph Smith et al., History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 7 vols., ed. B. H. Roberts [Salt Lake City: Deseret News Press, 1902-32], 4:535, hereafter HC). And Yale University lit- erary critic Harold Bloom has written: "The Wentworth letter ... is marked by the dignity of a simple eloquence, and by the self-possession of a religious innovator who is so secure in the truth of his doctrine that he can state its pith with an almost miraculous economy" (The Amer- ican Religion [New York: Simon and Schuster, 1992], 82).
