This gentle and sorrowful song concludes with the somewhat bitter line “Farewell, all joys! O Death, come close mine eyes! More Geese than Swans now live, more Fools than Wise.” Musicologists have suggested that this is a barbed comment on what was perceived, in early 17th century England, to be a decline in culture and a loss of beauty. Many subsequent ages have been dogged by similar concerns that an irrepressible drive for increased wealth comes at a cost to human values. The “marketisation” of higher education, many have claimed, has resulted in the neglect of traditional areas of scholarship and an impoverishment of learning. Oxford has a delicate balancing act, needing to carefully select and nurture areas of new and rapid growth, whilst ensuring that valuable but less fashionable studies continue to flourish. Philanthropy has been fundamental to ensuring that we are able to achieve that balance. A landmark £150 million gift to the University from philanthropist and businessman Stephen A. Schwarzman will give Oxford’s humanities a new home with state-of-the-art academic, exhibition and performance spaces. It will promote the essential role of the humanities in helping society confront and answer fundamental questions of the 21st century. It is great news too, that the Humanities Division has made the endowment of a Chair in Old Norse one of its fund-raising priorities.

AndYEARBOOK how do people negotiate2016 contested spaces in cities as politicised as Jerusalem? Hanna Baumann [2012] has been fascinated by the subject of divided cities since she was young. Her PhD in Architecture will build on her undergraduate and Master’s research, which focused on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict as well as on work she has been doing in for the United Nations on minority cultural rights in conflict affected areas. Hanna showed an early interest in the intersection between culture and conflict. Growing up in what was then East Berlin, she was five when the Berlin Wall fell. “In some ways, it was a formative experience,” she says, “and was part of my interest in divided cities. Even after the Wall came down I could see the long-term effects on family and friends.” “I could feel the tension in the After graduating from Barnard, Hanna returned to the Middle streets of the old city, where East to work with Iraqi refugees in Jordan through the UNHCR.

  • Merton College Handbook for Junior Members 2021-22
    MERTON COLLEGE HANDBOOK FOR JUNIOR MEMBERS 2021-22 The College Handbook is divided into four sections. The first section contains the text of a contract governing the relationship between the College and its junior members and should be read in conjunction with the comparable contract provided by the University of Oxford. Junior members will be asked to confirm their acceptance of both contracts by signature when they are admitted to the College and the University. The second section contains information about: (i) The status of junior members; (ii) The organisation and management of the College; (iii) Provision of an academic, financial, welfare, domestic or recreational nature made by the College for junior members, and policies and procedures that apply to dealings between the College and junior members; (iv) Statutory, contractual and other legal obligations that are placed on the College in its dealings with junior members. The third section contains detailed regulations that apply to junior members in their dealings with the College, including statutory, contractual and other legal obligations. The fourth section contains the text of the agreement that governs the provision of accommodation by the College to junior members. Many of the regulations, agreements and undertakings contained in the College Handbook create legally binding obligations on the College and on junior members. All legal obligations are governed by English Law. Before coming into residence at the College, junior members must sign and return a statement that they have read and understood these regulations and agreements and undertake to abide by them. All junior members should therefore read the College Handbook carefully and seek advice where necessary.
