Universities In The Age Of Reform 1800 1870

This book considers a crucial moment in the development of English higher education, and also provides a new and comprehensive history of the early decades of Durham University. During the Age of Reform innovative ideas about the role and purpose of a university were moving at an unprecedented pace. Proposals for new institutions in all parts of the country were developing quickly and resulted in the foundation of Durham University, London University (later re-styled University College, London), and King’s College, London. While normally overshadowed by the London institutions, this book demonstrates not only that Durham attempted to produce a far broader institution than any historian has given its founders credit for, but that a remarkable attempt at a third-way in English higher education has been neglected. Matthew Andrews therefore not only provides the first fully researched account of this important national institution since 1932, but also carefully situates Durham in its contemporary context, and alongside the two other most prominent emerging institutions of that time.

Tillyard's groundbreaking history of university reform traces the evolution of higher education in Europe and North America over two centuries. Exploring the development and implementation of key policies and initiatives, he highlights the role of political and social movements, as well as the impact of technological and economic changes on the university system. This book is an authoritative and thought-provoking study of one of the most important transformations in modern education.

Excerpt from A History of University Reform From 1800 A. D. To the Present Time: With Suggestions Towards a Complete Scheme for the University of Cambridge A few words of explanation may be given as to how this book came to be written. In July, 1907, Bishop Gore raised a discussion in the House of Lords on University Reform, and so brought the question prominently forward. I spent the summer of that year in thinking out and writing down my own ideas on it. In October an outline of them was published in The Cambridge Independent Press and also in the now defunct London daily paper, The Tribune. It then occurred to me that it might be of advantage if an account of the views held by those who had advocated reform in the past, and of the main changes effected by legislation, could be put into the hands of the public. The present volume is the result. I have discovered to my great satisfaction how little originality there was in my suggestions. The germs of the chief of them had been in print for many years, though at the time I did not know it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
