Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract of Thesis This thesis examines the birth of secondary education for Jews in England, focusing on the middle classes as defined in the text. This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.

For more information visit cliftoncollege.com/admissions or call 0117 321 0342 May I extend a very warm welcome to you all to Lord’s today. The match marks the 100th anniversary of the first meeting here between Clifton and Tonbridge on July 27/28 1914. The contest between the two schools continued to be played at Lord’s until 1968, after which date the fixture moved around various cricket festivals until 1995. Clifton won that first game in 1914, by nine wickets; Tonbridge won the last game in 1995 by ten wickets, so there is all to play for today. You will find the full and fascinating history of the fixture later on in this programme. Of course we cannot and must not forget that the military conflict that was about to unfold took the lives of half of the players in that first match; seven from Clifton and four from Tonbridge.
