In late 2004 a New Zealander, John Hood, will become the first external appointment to head Oxford University in its 900-year history. Napier-born and raised, Dr Hood studied engineering at Auckland University where he took his doctorate in 1976. He then took up a Rhodes scholarship at Oxford, where he added an MPhil in management and played cricket for the University. These two universities continue to command a special place in his affections.

Abstract:

Before John Searle wrote the book of Speech Acts, he wrote an article about “What is a Speech Act?” (in Philosophy in America, Max Black, ed. (Ithaca, N.Y.: Cornell University Press, 1965), 221–239). He was born in Denver in 1932. He spent some seven years in Oxford, beginning as an undergraduate in the autumn of 1952 with a Rhodes Scholarship, and concluding as a Lecturer in Philosophy at Christ Church. He has spent almost all of his subsequent life as Professor of Philosophy in Berkeley according to Smith (2003). This article aims to review the speech act theories by Searle (1969) to know wh

Abstract:

Abstract This article opens with the 2015 Rhodes Must Fall protests at the University of Cape Town, when a student poured feces on a statue of Cecil Rhodes. This moment exemplifies the ambivalent relationship between symbolic politics and demands for institutional transformation in postapartheid South Africa. The essay considers two sites of tension: the appropriation of this antiapartheid, decolonial rhetoric outside of South Africa (as in the Rhodes Must Fall campaigns at the University of Oxford) and the borrowing of US discourses of racial identity in South African universities.

Abstract:

Abstract Cecil John Rhodes (1853–1902) was one of the most influential people in the history of the British Empire. Born in England, he made a fortune in South Africa by leading the world’s most important diamond mining company, De Beers, as well as a gold-mining company, Consolidated Gold Fields. He dreamed of uniting Southern Africa’s colonies and republics into one state, dominated by white settlers, with labor provided by Black people who were constrained and pressured by discriminatory laws. To achieve his goals, he served as a member of the Cape Colony’s legislature and even took a turn

Abstract:

This chapter reviews the book Private Giving, Public Good: The Impact of Philanthropy at the University of Edinburgh (2014), by Jean Grier and Mary Bownes. The book offers an account of ‘private giving’, focusing primarily on recent gifts and drawing on the case of the University of Edinburgh. It shows that Scottish universities lacked the inherited wealth of Oxford and Cambridge. In the nineteenth century they received significant support from the state, but from the 1860s also made serious efforts to appeal to private donors and build up endowments. There is a chapter devoted to ‘research an

He was buried nearby in the Matopos Hills, at a hilltop site that he had chosen, known as World’s View. At the same time as the funeral was held at World’s View, a memorial service was held at St. Paul’s Cathedral in the City of London. Rhodes, who had written several wills over the course of his lifetime, in his last will endowed Oxford University’s Rhodes Trust, which he put in charge of philanthropic efforts, most famously the Rhodes Scholarships.

Abstract Chapter 1 focuses on Paul Engle, who directed the Iowa Writers’ Workshop from the 1940s to the mid-1960s. Born and raised in a small Iowan town, Engle spent time studying in Oxford on a Rhodes scholarship, before returning to his home state. He was both a cosmopolitan and a regionalist, an uncomfortable position that he turned into an asset. The duality of Engle’s personal brand influenced the positioning of the Workshop—a programme both anchored in the Midwest and opened to the world. Drawing on little-known documents in the University of Iowa archives, this chapter shows that Engle

Abstract In 2015, students at the University of Cape Town and the University of Oxford protested the continued display of Cecil Rhodes’s statues. The demonstrations, known as the “Rhodes Must Fall” movement, raised awareness of the role of Cecil Rhodes in the building of racially unequal infrastructure in Southern Africa. Although previous biographies have addressed Rhodes’s political career, none have examined the ways in which his career was oriented around ideas about managing environment, geography, and technology. The book will explore the relationship between racism and infrastructure by

Archaeology and anthropology shaped the understanding of heritage matters that reflect real and deeper problems around the symbolic content of public colonial representations.

Abstract In the fall of 1873, Cecil Rhodes returned to England to begin his studies at the University of Oxford. After one term, he returned to Kimberley. Not only were the diamond fields booming, the Cape Colony was developing under the increasingly independent government of white settlers, led by the first prime minister, John C. Molteno. Railways played a major part in the Cape’s plans. They still did not reach Kimberley, where it was becoming increasingly clear that the mines would benefit from amalgamation, especially when it came to installing steam engines to pump water out of the mines

Exeter College provides an appropriate case study for a reassessment of an important episode in nineteenth-century British reform: the attempted transformation of England’s ancient universities, long-time strongholds of religious exclusion, indifference to research and lackadaisical approaches to teaching. One of Oxford’s larger colleges by the start of Victoria’s reign, modestly endowed Exeter undertook a spectacular building programme in the 1850s. Yet Exeter appears at first to have had only modest intellectual ambitions and to have been a stronghold of the defence of clergy privilege. In t
