  • Assistant Rowing Coach General Winchester College Was Founded In
    Winchester College Job Description – Assistant Rowing Coach General Winchester College was founded in 1382. It is one of the world's most prestigious and famous schools. The school buildings were opened in 1394 and have been in use ever since. Nine additional boarding houses were opened between 1859 and 1869 and a tenth in 1905. The total number of pupils is now 690. All are boys aged 13-18 and all are boarders. Winchester is hugely fortunate in having extensive grounds of approximately 250 acres which include; the Fallodon Nature Reserve with its permissive public paths (50 acres), St Catherine's Hill and Twyford Down (137 acres) which are both Public Access Areas. Additionally, the College maintains some 52 acres of playing fields and 11 acres of formal gardens. A further 400 acres, including a golf course, on the far side of the M3 are also owned by the school. The school is staffed by over 500 employees which includes the Boarding Houses, Works Department, Grounds, Riverkeepers, Central Cleaners, Administration, Laundry, PE Centre, Medical Centre and many more departments. Admission is based on the combined criteria of academic strength, and the ability to contribute in other ways to the cultural, sporting and social life of the school. It remains the school's ambition, consistent with the Foundation Charter and charitable purpose, to broaden the school's intake to include pupils whose parents cannot meet the full fee. The Boat Club Winchester College Boat Club is one of the oldest school boat clubs in the country, founded officially in 1867. It is a small (less than 70 boys) but nationally competitive club that has an excellent coach to athlete ratio and is well supported by the College.

  • Wealthy Business Families in Glasgow and Liverpool, 1870-1930 a DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY In Trade: Wealthy Business Families in Glasgow and Liverpool, 1870-1930 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of History By Emma Goldsmith EVANSTON, ILLINOIS December 2017 2 Abstract This dissertation provides an account of the richest people in Glasgow and Liverpool at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. It focuses on those in shipping, trade, and shipbuilding, who had global interests and amassed large fortunes. It examines the transition away from family business as managers took over, family successions altered, office spaces changed, and new business trips took hold. At the same time, the family itself underwent a shift away from endogamy as young people, particularly women, rebelled against the old way of arranging marriages. This dissertation addresses questions about gentrification, suburbanization, and the decline of civic leadership. It challenges the notion that businessmen aspired to become aristocrats. It follows family businessmen through the First World War, which upset their notions of efficiency, businesslike behaviour, and free trade, to the painful interwar years. This group, once proud leaders of Liverpool and Glasgow, assimilated into the national upper-middle class. This dissertation is rooted in the family papers left behind by these families, and follows their experiences of these turbulent and eventful years. 3 Acknowledgements This work would not have been possible without the advising of Deborah Cohen. Her inexhaustible willingness to comment on my writing and improve my ideas has shaped every part of this dissertation, and I owe her many thanks.
