  • A M D G Beaumont Union Review Summer 2018
    A M D G BEAUMONT UNION REVIEW SUMMER 2018 Those of you who attended the lunch at St John‘s on Remembrance Sunday last year may recall, that in my words of thanks to the Headmaster and Staff, I said that we talk of this nebulous concept of the ―Spirit of Beaumont‖. I continued: ―Yet we have the living embodiment of that Spirit right here‖. Up until 1967 St John‘s was always considered part of Beaumont and its Old boys whether they continued to the College or not eligible for The Union. That year they were cast adrift and I think the feeling of the Committee was that it was now the Stonyhurst prep in the south of England and it would have a new allegiance. 50 years on and this is no longer the case. They wear our colours, harbour our traditions, sing the Carmen. They play cricket on our grounds and honour the dead at the War Memorial. It is long overdue to rectify the situation and bring the BU and the SJBOBA into closer alignment (sounds Brexit). In 1905, younger members of the Union founded the Beaumont Casuals whose activities were more in keeping with their generation. It lasted four years when the Club came to an end, yet it was written that ―the idea of younger members associating together for sports and social gatherings is a good one, and it is hoped that one day the Casuals will come to life again‖. I think that time has come. ANNOUNCEMENTS MUSEUM In February I met with Giles Delaney at St John’s and I know you will all be pleased to hear that our memorabilia will, where possible, soon go on display.

  • Reflections on PB Shelley's Poem
    ISSN No. 0976-8602 VOL.-III, ISSUE-II, APRIL-2014 Asian Resonance Non-Violence Resistance through Revolution of Opinions: Reflections on P.B. Shelley’s Poem “The Masque of Anarchy” AbstractAbstract Literature works as a magic wand to generate new ideas which can inspire us to make our earth a better place to live. It empowers us with hope; passion and strength that we need to create a better future for all humanity. No doubt, literature makes us think meticulously and question ourselves: do we believe that our visions about peaceful world are meaningless and irrelevant? Or should we let the world do what it's going to do? Is it justifiable to give everything in the hands of leaders who don't care in the least about preserving us or our world, leaders whom we don't trust and over whom we have no control? Should we accept that violence and war are inevitable? Or should we take up the noble endeavour to talk to common people, to sing and to write songs for the common people about peace? In the present paper, my humble endeavour is to underscore the power of the lyrics which prepare us to understand the deep connections between non-violence and peace. Exploring the relationship between aesthetics and politics in P.B. Shelley‘s lyric The Masque of Anarchy, the paper attempts to underline the power of poetry which can bring revolution of opinions. Keywords: Non-violence, Aesthetics, Resistence. Introduction ―The most unfailing herald, companion, and follower of a great people to work a beneficial change in opinion or institution, is poetry… the words linger in the memory over generations.

  • England in Australia 1928-29 Five Tests
    England in Australia 1928-29 Five Tests. England Won 4 - 1. Balls per over: 6 Playing Hours: 5 hr days - Timeless Captains: J Ryder (Aus), APF Chapman (Eng) Cricket history had turned the page in 1926 when England won back the Ashes. This induced a rather extreme response from Australian authorities, who stripped captain Collins and team manager Syd Smith from all official positions down to and including district grade level. Australian cricket strength remained fragile in 1928-29, mainly because the abundance of batting talent was not balanced by the bowling, and many batting records were being set in Sheffield Shield which still stand, notably Victoria’s score of 1,107 all out. At the outset of the Test series, Australia’s youngest bowler was 33 years old, and there were no fast bowlers to speak of: Jack Gregory had lost pace and would break down, sadly and irretrievably, in the first Test. The MCC had talent in depth in all departments, with a top order – Sutcliffe, Hobbs and Hammond – as formidable as any team has ever assembled. Their style was suited to the timeless format, and the pace was measured throughout. Although it did not escape notice at the time, subsequent commentators have tended to gloss over just how slowly these players scored their runs. Hammond’s utter domination of the bowling was achieved at a dull, consistent 36 runs/100 balls. At one stage, after he had scored 602 runs in the space of four innings, with only two dismissals by the bowlers (one of them a spectacular diving catch off a full-blooded drive), he still took 603 balls to score 177 in his next dig.

  • Moriah Speciale Early and First Editions of Percy Bysshe Shelley's
    Moriah Speciale Early and First Editions of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s Works Percy Bysshe Shelley was one of the major Romantic Poets who wrote with strong social and political convictions. While he did not rise to popularity during his lifetime, his wife and editor, Mary Shelley, made sure that he would leave behind an expansive repertoire in print. The items I presented on were two early and first editions of Shelley’s poems, Queen Mab and The Masque of Anarchy, which can both be found in the 19th Century Collection of Baylor’s Armstrong Browning Library. Shelley drew much of his inspiration from the political upheavals of his day, and I chose to focus most of my presentation on the history behind his famous work, The Masque of Anarchy. Shelley wrote this political poem in 1819, while he was living in Italy after having been pushed out of England due to family and relationship drama. The poem is written in response to the infamous Peterloo Massacre, which took place in August of 1819. The massacre was the first event to merit large scale journalism across Britain and Europe, which is how Shelley was able to learn of it so quickly even though he was away in Italy. The massacre took place just after the Napoleonic wars, during a time of paranoia and some terror. After the Napoleonic wars, large majorities of people were not well due to famine and unemployment and by the time 1819 rolled around pressures and tensions were rising due to the poor economic climate. In addition, the English government instated “Corn Laws” which were tariffs on foreign grain meant to protect English grain farmers.
