Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oxford After the War A Liberal Education There are two propositions which I wish to make prominent at the outset, for they have ruled the thought which I have given to the subject of this pamphlet: - I. A long history of constitutional development lay behind Oxford when the War came and made the great difference: reformers, with proposals designed to meet the great difference, must, first of all, realise clearly what was the essential characteristic of the life of Oxford throughout the stages of her development in the past, and, realising that characteristic, must see that their reforms are still, in widely altered circumstances, true expressions of it: they must not allow the great difference to break the natural continuity of the traditional life of Oxford; rather, they must use the great difference as an opportunity of maintaining that life in fresh vigour and with enhanced value.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CNN host and best-selling author Fareed Zakaria argues for a renewed commitment to the world’s most valuable educational tradition. The liberal arts are under attack. The governors of Florida, Texas, and North Carolina have all pledged that they will not spend taxpayer money subsidizing the liberal arts, and they seem to have an unlikely ally in President Obama. While at a General Electric plant in early 2014, Obama remarked, "I promise you, folks can make a lot more, potentially, with skilled manufacturing or the trades than they might with an art history degree." These messages are hitting home: majors like English and history, once very popular and highly respected, are in steep decline. "I get it," writes Fareed Zakaria, recalling the atmosphere in India where he grew up, which was even more obsessed with getting a skills-based education. However, the CNN host and best-selling author explains why this widely held view is mistaken and shortsighted. Zakaria eloquently expounds on the virtues of a liberal arts education—how to write clearly, how to express yourself convincingly, and how to think analytically. He turns our leaders' vocational argument on its head. American routine manufacturing jobs continue to get automated or outsourced, and specific vocational knowledge is often outdated within a few years. Engineering is a great profession, but key value-added skills you will also need are creativity, lateral thinking, design, communication, storytelling, and, more than anything, the ability to continually learn and enjoy learning—precisely the gifts of a liberal education. Zakaria argues that technology is transforming education, opening up access to the best courses and classes in a vast variety of subjects for millions around the world. We are at the dawn of the greatest expansion of the idea of a liberal education in human history.

This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the University of Oxford Civil Wars, during which the University played a great part in the national drama; while I have passed lightly over the reign of George III., when the University had not only lost all political importance, but had forfeited its reputation as a place of the highest education and learning. In the selection of topics from so vast a mass of materials, I have sought to preserve the continuity of events, so far as possible, rather than to produce a series of essays on special aspects of University life. I have deviated, however, from this method in one or two instances, such as the chapter on Oxford politics in the eighteenth century, and that on the neo-catholic Revival. In several of the earlier chapters, and in those on Oxford in the present century, I have borrowed the substance of passages from my own volume, Memorials of Merton College, ' and from articles on recent University reforms contributed by myself to various periodicals. If I have succeeded in bringin g within a single view the successive phases of develop ment through which the University has passed in the course of seven hundred years, and in paving the way for a more comprehensive and detailed history, the obj ect of this little volume will have been attained.

For this third edition I have myself revised the whole, but have been careful to make no alterations in the chapters originally written by others, except as to matters of definite fact. One chapter, that on Women's Education in Oxford, has been entirely rewritten; this was necessary owing to the rapid developments Of the last twenty years in this department 5 I am fortunate in being able to Obtain the assistance of the leading authority on Women's Education in Oxford, Miss A. M. A. H. Rogers. As this book is largely used in America, it has seemed worth while to print in a short Appendix the main pro visions of the statutes as to Research Degrees and as to Colonial-and Foreign Students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The School of English Language and Literature: A Contribution to the History of Oxford Studies Academic history is a difficult subject, especially recent academic history; yet, since it is part of the history of learning as well as part of the history of institutions, it deserves writing. No part of it repays attention better than the story of the growth of new studies and the gradual introduction of new subjects into the curriculum of our universities. The object of this paper is to trace the introduction of two such subjects into the Oxford curriculum, to inquire into the causes which led to it, and into those which have promoted or retarded their progress since the time when it was first recognized that our own language and literature were proper things for undergraduates to study during their residence in Oxford. To do this it is not enough to start with the foundation of the English School in 1894. It is necessary to go further back and to begin with the time when learned men in the universities began to regard our language and literature as subjects on which it was worth while to spend their life and their labour, and benefactors, either in our own body or without it, began to found chairs and provide endowments for the purpose of encouraging these branches of learning. About 1834 a controversy sprang up in the pages of the Gentleman's Magazine, which began with a discussion of various points of Anglo-Saxon scholarship, and ended with a dispute whether Oxford or Cambridge had contributed most to its progress.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of International Relations offers the most authoritative and comprehensive overview to date of the field of international relations. Arguably the most impressive collection of international relations scholars ever brought together within one volume, the Handbook debates the nature of the field itself, critically engages with the major theories, surveys a wide spectrum of methods, addresses the relationship between scholarship and policy making, and examines the field's relation with cognate disciplines. The Handbook takes as its central themes the interaction between empirical and normative inquiry that permeates all theorizing in the field and the way in which contending approaches have shaped one another. In doing so, the Handbook provides an authoritative and critical introduction to the subject and establishes a sense of the field as a dynamic realm of argument and inquiry. The Oxford Handbook of International Relations will be essential reading for all of those interested in the advanced study of global politics and international affairs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oxford University Reform The House of Lords having postponed the question of University Reform to the next session, the time is now opportune for Reformers both to consider what is the present condition of affairs, and also what they are prepared to demand; so that they may be ready for energetic action next spring. And first let us consider what we should have really gained had the bill of last session been passed intact. It represented the furthest parliamentary advance hitherto made, and was treated by many in the course of the discussion us a satisfactory settlement of the whole question. But a closer inspection of this bill will show how very inadequate it was, and how unwise it would be of Reformers to acquiesce another time in so incomplete and feeble a measure. The idea which was embodied in the bill was in the main twofold. Absolute removal of parliamentary restrictions upon religious equality in the university; liberty left to the university and to the colleges to determine for themselves how far they would be sectarian, how far really national institutions But how illusory this liberty of action really is at present will be shown hereafter. The one point in which the bill went beyond this was in throwing open the Master of Arts degree to Nonconformists; the necessity for subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles resting not on a parliamentary but on a university statute.
