  • Gb 1472 Ecr60
    Introduction The records listed in this volume are what might be described as central records of the College – the minute books, the registers, the statutes and similar material, generated directly by the Provost and Fellows and the New Governing Body. There are, however, equally central records listed elsewhere. The Foundation and Consolidation Charters, and other royal charters, were listed by Noel Blakiston as ECR 39. He included other central records, particularly relating to the building of the College, in ECR 38 and ECR 49. Accounting records to 1642, including the audit rolls up to 1505, when they were replaced by books, are listed as ECR 61 and later accounting records as ECR 62. Papers produced by individual Provosts, Vice-Provosts and Fellows (though there are very few of this last category) will be found as COLL/P, COLL/VP or COLL/FELL as appropriate. The papers of officers such as the Bursar (COLL/B), Registrar(COLL/REG) and other College servants are also separately listed. The catalogue of the College’s archives (now COLL/ARCH/1) compiled in 1724 by Thomas Martin (1697 – 1771) mentions the central records that existed at the time but does not list them individually. Binding, indexing and annotation of the registers in particular show clearly that their importance and value were recognised. Seal books, minute books and lease books were also carefully preserved. However, unbound papers were less well served by a storage system that was essentially organised by estate and were allowed to accumulate in considerable confusion until very roughly sorted by Noel Blakiston into boxes covering ten year periods.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

I have added the titles of those hooks of which I know, but do not possess copies: these I have distinguished with an asterisk (*) in the hope that I may hear of copies of them for sale or exchange. I have endeavoured as far as possible—and with much success —to discover and record the names of the authors of anonymous books and pamphlets and of the editors of the ephemeral School Magazines, but I have felt bound, in printing this Bibliography, in many cases to respect their anonymity. There are, however, many anonymous authors still to be identified, and I shall gratefully receive any information on this or other subjects by way of addenda to or corrigenda of the Bibliography.

The majority of rowing’s participants pick it up later in life, compared to many other sports, and it is rarely an athlete’s first sport, but is one that often offers them second chances. Institutionally, rowing is also rarely the focus of much attention in the athletic department. Despite such apparent drawbacks however, rowers are as passionate and devoted to their pursuit as any highly paid, well-publicized

    Sports Coaching Through the Ages with an Empirical Study of Predictors of Rowing Coaching Effectiveness Cameron Michael Kiosoglous A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT Paul D. Renard (Chair) Gabriella M. Belli Marcie Boucouvalas Clare D. Klunk Friday, April 5, 2013 Falls Church, Virginia. Keywords Professionalization of sport Sports coaching effectiveness and expertise Sports coaching development Evaluating sport coaching success Reflective practices in sport coaching Sports Coaching Through the Ages with an Empirical Study of Predictors of Rowing Coaching Effectiveness Cameron Kiosoglous Abstract Coaching effectiveness is a result of a coach getting the best out of the people and resources in their environment. For coaches, learning from experience is vital in a role that is a complex, dynamic and multifaceted process of balancing fun and winning where one cannot be sure if results will go according to plan. At the Olympic level, due to commercialization more money is being spent than ever before on developing more professional and effective training systems to maximize athletic performances. Medals won determine how a coach is evaluated and with more nations competition at a higher level, success is becoming even more competitive. More qualified and adaptable coaches are required to cope with the demands of international competition. The literature has been extensively examined based on the research question: to what extent is coaching success predicted by a coaches’ ability to self-reflect on past experiences? The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that if coaches who are highly self- reflective and have successful athletic and coaching experiences would be more likely to have future coaching success than those who either were not self-reflective or had less success in the past.

PREFACE The following pages contain, as may be inferred from the title, the story of an ordinary life. As regards the biographical part of the book, it deals mainly with the surface of things, touching but slightly on the graver thoughts and emotions which may give to the most commonplace biography the value of a "human document." Many persons will think that a record so trivial is not worth publishing. But there is undoubtedly a considerable class who may be amused and even interested by any memoir honestly written, and it is among these that I hope to find some readers. Numerous as are the autobiographies of " ordinary mortals," they generally depend more on anecdotes and " persons I have seen " than on the actual life-stories of the writers, which are often sketchily handled.

  • AC Benson Diaries Index
    Benson Diaries Index Overview The diaries of A.C. Benson, written between 1897 and 1925, provide a fascinating insight into the social, cultural and political history of the early twentieth century, and at between four and five million words one of the longest extant diaries. The diaries capture in careful detail the events of Benson’s own life, together with his thoughts, impressions and opinion of his writing; his family, friends and associates; of current affairs; and many other diverse topics. The following notes outline the structure of the index to the Benson Diaries and the standard format of entries. A list of the conventional subject abbreviations is provided, in addition to guidance for how best to refer to the index when searching for entries. The current Benson Diaries index is based on a previous manuscript version. In transferring the index to a digital format, entries were re-organised into alphabetical order. Included among the entries are geographical place names, the names of individuals, personal qualities, the titles of literary works, institutions & locations (such as schools, Colleges, Tremans, etc.), religious and political views, and abstract concepts (dreams, friendship, etc.). While every effort has been made in editing the index to clarify the nature of each entry heading and justify its position, with the aim of making the search process easier, it will be apparent that the conceptualisation and arrangement of entries is idiosyncratic and that the entries were not originally formulated according to a comprehensive and consistent overarching schema. This is less problematic for searches of named individuals, but, as will be clear from the search guidance given below, complicates the search process for nonfigurative terms.
