Who knows, perhaps one of newspapers to get one view of ourselves, albeit one that is more than them will be writing this piece next year ... difficult for those of us who work here to recognise. Other views we collect: from students on their supervisors (as well as from supervisors G-IC on their supervisees), from applicants for admission on the Tutors and MARJ other Fellows who have interviewed them, and so on. In some cases it LMBL-L is difficult to know what to make of the comments made: e.g. the CMT applicant in engineering who wrote "I became very nervous when I saw a pencil on the desk" or the aspiring economist who thought "the interviewer was friendly and it was clear to me that he was willing to learn". On the other hand, I immediately identified with the mathematician who remarked "no one told me what to do so I just walked around the town"; it was just what happened to me thirty-eight years ago. Even more perceptive observations came in a thank-you letter from young visitors from a school in Lambeth that is a participant in our EAGLE project there. Mr Nolan's talk on law and the way government works was clearly very informative and much enjoyed but even more striking was the Hall. It was "massive" and looked "really expensive" and, with "its long tables and gold cutlery", it reminded them of the "first class rooms on the Titanic". Even though the gold cutlery must have been in the imagination, these innocent and appreciative comments give cause for thought. It is no bad thing to be prompted in this way to cons�der whether we are not sitting comfortably in First Class, getting on with our reading, whilst in the gloom outside an iceberg approaches. We must keep on inspecting ourselves for any signs of malignant complacency but I think that here the bill of health remains clean. However, there is another lesson in this: even though our students are under less financial pressure and are better supported in most ways than those at other Universities, as those of us with children who have studied elsewhere know very well, we have the false image of being expensive. 8 MEsSAGE FROM THE MASTER MESSAGE FROM THE MASTER 9 When it comes to encouraging applications from as wide a field of wife and I have the privilege of entertaining freshmen to lunch on potential undergraduates as possible, external perceptions are vitally Sundays throughout the Michaelmas Term.

  • The Stourbridge School of Art and Its Relations with the Glass Industry of the Stourbridge District, 1850-1905
    A PROVINCIAL SCHOOL OF ART AND LOCAL INDUSTRY: THE STOURBRIDGE SCHOOL OF ART AND ITS RELATIONS WITH THE GLASS INDUSTRY OF THE STOURBRIDGE DISTRICT, 1850-1905 by JAMES SCOTT MEASELL A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham April 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

ABSTRACT Founded in 1851, the Stourbridge School of Art offered instruction in drawing, art and design to students engaged in industries, especially glass. Using social history methodology and primary sources such as Government reports, local newspapers and school records, this thesis explores the school’s development from 1850 to 1905 and explicates its relationships with the local glass industry. Within the context of political, economic, social and cultural forces, the school contributed to the town’s civic culture and was supported by gentry, clergy and industrialists. The governing Council held public meetings and art exhibitions and dealt with management issues. Working class men attended evening classes. Women from wealthy families attended morning classes.

    Welcome to the Diocese of York The Diocese of York is a family of 607 churches and 127 schools in 470 parishes, stretching from the Humber to the Tees and the A1 to the coast. We hope this pack will give you a good idea of what it might be like to live and work in the Diocese of York. Contents: Vision and mission Living in the Diocese Housing and money Ministry together Lifelong learning Spiritual sustenance York Minster Central support Young people Who’s who “We will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.” Ephesians 4:14 & 15 Vision and mission We have a vision of Generous Churches Making and Nurturing Disciples. “We will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.” Ephesians 4:14 & 15 As a Diocese, we want to see our churches making disciples of all ages. We want to see mutual resourcing to build up the Body of Christ, to grow in five areas: • Christ-likeness Becoming like Christ is the fundamental call of Christian discipleship. It is not always easy to assess, but we often recognise the flavour of a life becoming more godly. • Commitment Commitment itself has several features, including: commitment to God, to seeking God’s kingdom, to Christ’s body the Church. • Partnership Working with other churches, locally and globally, with schools, community groups, people, organisations for the common good, peace, justice and a healthy environment.

  • The Opening of the Atlantic World: England's
    THE OPENING OF THE ATLANTIC WORLD: ENGLAND’S TRANSATLANTIC INTERESTS DURING THE REIGN OF HENRY VIII By LYDIA TOWNS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Texas at Arlington May, 2019 Arlington, Texas Supervising Committee: Imre Demhardt, Supervising Professor John Garrigus Kathryne Beebe Alan Gallay ABSTRACT THE OPENING OF THE ATLANTIC WORLD: ENGLAND’S TRANSATLANTIC INTERESTS DURING THE REIGN OF HENRY VIII Lydia Towns, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2019 Supervising Professor: Imre Demhardt This dissertation explores the birth of the English Atlantic by looking at English activities and discussions of the Atlantic world from roughly 1481-1560. Rather than being disinterested in exploration during the reign of Henry VIII, this dissertation proves that the English were aware of what was happening in the Atlantic world through the transnational flow of information, imagined the potentials of the New World for both trade and colonization, and actively participated in the opening of transatlantic trade through transnational networks. To do this, the entirety of the Atlantic, all four continents, are considered and the English activity there analyzed. This dissertation uses a variety of methods, examining cartographic and literary interpretations and representations of the New World, familial ties, merchant networks, voyages of exploration and political and diplomatic material to explore my subject across the social strata of England, giving equal weight to common merchants’ and scholars’ perceptions of the Atlantic as I do to Henry VIII’s court. Through these varied methods, this dissertation proves that the creation of the British Atlantic was not state sponsored, like the Spanish Atlantic, but a transnational space inhabited and expanded by merchants, adventurers and the scholars who created imagined spaces for the English.

  • The Catenian Association – PROVINCE 6
    The Catenian Association – PROVINCE 6 Press Release for Immediate Publication Mass of Renewal for Deacons Deacons, their families and friends gathered in St Cad’s Cathedral on Saturday 7th June for their annual Mass of Renewal within the Silver Jubilee Year of the Permanent Diaconate in the Archdiocese of Birmingham. This special Mass where Deacons renewed their commitment to the Diaconal Service was celebrated by His Grace the Archbishop of Birmingham Bernard Longley, supported by the Auxiliary Bishops of Birmingham; the Rt. Rev. David McGough, William Kenney and Robert Byrne; together with Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus Rt. Rev. Philip Pargeter. In his homily, the Archbishop made reference to the immeasurable help the Diaconate had made to the ministry of the Gospel and service to the Church, throughout the Archdiocese over the last 25 years. He thanked all the Deacons, present, past and unable to attend for their dedication and resolve in accepting the responsibilities and challenges of carrying out their ministry. To mark the achievement of 25 years existence of the Permanent Diaconate, the Diocesan authorities agreed to the commissioning of special anniversary stoles for use by all Deacons in the Archdiocese – of which there are over 80. The funding for these special stoles has been substantially provided by the Catenian Association; principally in Province 6. Following the Archbishop’s Homily, and prior to the Renewal of Commitment to the Diaconal Service, The stoles were blessed by the Archbishop. The stoles bear the emblem of the friends of The Holy Land, who with their help had the stoles made in Bethlehem, providing employment for Christians living there.

    HITCHMOUGH’S BLACK COUNTRY PUBS KINGSWINFORD (Inc. Himley, Wall Heath) 3rd. Edition - © 2015 Tony Hitchmough. All Rights Reserved www.longpull.co.uk INTRODUCTION Well over 40 years ago, I began to notice that the English public house was more than just a building in which people drank. The customers talked and played, held trips and meetings, the licensees had their own stories, and the buildings had experienced many changes. These thoughts spurred me on to find out more. Obviously I had to restrict my field; Black Country pubs became my theme, because that is where I lived and worked. Many of the pubs I remembered from the late 1960’s, when I was legally allowed to drink in them, had disappeared or were in the process of doing so. My plan was to collect any information I could from any sources available. Around that time the Black Country Bugle first appeared; I have never missed an issue, and have found the contents and letters invaluable. I then started to visit the archives of the Black Country boroughs. Directories were another invaluable source for licensees’ names, enabling me to build up lists. The censuses, church registers and licensing minutes for some areas, also were consulted. Newspaper articles provided many items of human interest (eg. inquests, crimes, civic matters, industrial relations), which would be of value not only to a pub historian, but to local and social historians and genealogists alike. With the advances in technology in mind, I decided the opportunity of releasing my entire archive digitally, rather than mere selections as magazine articles or as a book, was too good to miss.
