Glasgow Theses Service http://theses.gla.ac.uk/ [email protected] The origins, patronage and culture of association football in the west of Scotland, c. 1865-1902 Matthew Lynn McDowell BA Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History, Scottish area Faculty of Arts University of Glasgow September 2009 ABSTRACT Rangers and Celtic Football Clubs, together known as the ‘Old Firm’, have received the lion’s share of attention given to Scottish association football in both scholarly and popular literature. During Scottish football’s formative years, however, the ascendancy of the Old Firm was far from set in stone. The exhaustive study of these two extraordinary organisations, therefore, greatly distorts our understanding of Scottish football’s Victorian origins. Both clubs were part of a far greater scene which included not only fellow ‘senior’, well-established clubs, but also any number of ‘junior’, ‘juvenile’ and non-classified football clubs, as well as fledgling associations which oversaw the regulation of the young game.

    Dames in New Zealand: Gender, Representation and the Royal Honours System, 1917-2000 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History in the University of Canterbury by Karen Fox University of Canterbury 2005 Contents Abstract List of Figures ii Abbreviations iii Acknowledgements v Introduction 1 Chapter One: 28 An elite male institution: reproducing British honours in New Zealand Chapter Two: 58 In her own right: feminism, ideas of femininity and titles for women Chapter Three: 89 The work of dames and knights: exceptional women and traditional images of the feminine Chapter Four: 119 The work of dames and knights: traditional patterns in honours and non­ traditional work for women Conclusion 148 Appendix One: 166 Honours awarded in New Zealand, 1917-2000 Appendix Two: 174 Database of titular honours, 1917-2000 Bibliography 210 19 MAY Z005 Abstract The New Zealand royal honours system, as a colonial reproduction of an elite British system with a white male norm, has been largely overlooked in all fields of scholarship. Yet, as a state expression of what is valued in society, honours provide a window into shifts in society. This study of dames and knights is undertaken in the context of the changes in the lives of New Zealand women in the twentieth century. Situated in a changing and shifting environment, the honours system has itself changed, influenced by the ebb and flow of the feminist movement, the decline of imperial and aristocratic forces, and New Zealand's evolving independence and identity. At the same time, the system has been in some respects static, slow to respond to charges of being an imperial anachronism, and, despite some change in what areas of service titles were granted for, remaining a gendered space focused on the traditionally male-dominated fields of politics, law and commerce.

  • Common Good Land in Scotland. a Review and Critique
    Common Good Land in Scotland A Review and Critique Andy Wightman & James Perman Caledonia Centre for Social Development Commonweal Working Paper No. 5 Until the Burgh Reform Act of 1833 the landowners and the commercial bourgeois class controlled all burghal administration of the common lands, and controlled it in such a way that vast areas of common lands were quietly appropriated, trust funds wholly disappeared, and to such a length did the plunder and the corruption develop, that some ancient burghs with valuable patrimonies went bankrupt, some disappeared altogether from the map of Scotland, some had their charters confiscated, and those which survived to the middle of the nineteenth century were left mere miserable starved caricatures of their former greatness, their Common Good funds gone, their lands fenced in private ownership, and their treasurers faced often with crushing debts. Tom Johnston, 1920. A History of the Working Classes in Scotland. pp.163-164. No doubt a fiduciary element arises in the administration of the common good, but the common good itself is the property of the citizens and the fiduciary element comes in because it is the duty of their elected representatives to administer it not for themselves but for their constituents. Lord Justice-Clerk Thomson in McDougal’s Trustees v, Lord Advocate 1952 SC 260 at p.266.

  • QUESTION NO 1 by Councillor Rose for Answer by the Leader of the Council at a Meeting of the Council on 24 November 2016 Freedom of Information
    THE CITY OF EDINBURGH COUNCIL MEETING 6 24 NOVEMBER 2016 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Item no 5.1 QUESTION NO 1 By Councillor Rose for answer by the Leader of the Council at a meeting of the Council on 24 November 2016 Freedom of Information Question At the Council meeting on 27th October 2016, in response to Question No 3 asking for the numbers of appeals to the Scottish Information Commissioner against City of Edinburgh Council Freedom of Information responses, the Leader of the Council provided a table showing annual figures from 2011 to 2016 which added up to 100 occasions. In a response to a secondary question about how many of those appeals had been successful or partially successful, a table was provided by the leader showing 72 such occasions in the same period. In a follow up question the leader was asked if he agreed that losing 72% of appeals suggests a defensive culture when more openness could save public time and resources? The leader claimed that the figure quoted in the follow up question was not contained in the answer. He then went on to claim that the Council loses only 0.53% of appeals (when the true figure supplied by the answer is 72%). Does the Council Leader accept his repeated error, and that the true figure is 72%? Answer At the October Council Meeting, I said in response to the Q3 supplementary question: “we only lose 0.53% of the overall number of appeals that come against us”. That was an error – and I should have said: “we only lose 0.53% of the overall number of requests that come against us”.

  • Keeping Men on Track: the Management of Single Male Employees by the New Zealand Government Railways Department 1923-1940
    Keeping Men on Track: The Management of Single Male Employees by the New Zealand Government Railways Department 1923-1940 By Robert Campbell David Kelly A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in New Zealand Studies Victoria University of Wellington 2015 1 Abstract The New Zealand Government Railways Department undertook a wide range of reforms in the 1920s as a result of concerns about the threat of road competition and the longevity of New Zealand’s railway infrastructure. Some of these reforms were structural and financial, but many were motivated by desires to create a more efficient, modern and useful workforce. Unmarried men made up a third of the NZGRD’s workforce in 1927 and this thesis is an investigation of how the management of the NZGRD attempted to mould them. By investigating and analysing the ways in which the New Zealand Railways Department communicated with its workforce, this study will address how the New Zealand Government Railways Department used soft power to affect its worker’s lives. From the designs of railway houses through the range of publications given to employees the New Zealand Railway Department had indirect influence on almost every aspect of the lives of their employees, from their physical existence to what art and literature they were exposed to. 2 Acknowledgements This thesis is dedicated to my parents Anne Kelly and David Kelly, for their tireless support of me in everything I do. For taking me to Hadrian’s Wall, Crete and the Bay of Islands, and always encouraging me to be curious about the world.
