Alleviating the Sum of Human Suffering’
In many communities, from the mid-Victorian era until well into the twentieth century, one Sunday every year was dedicated to the work of local hospitals and dispensaries. Originating in Birmingham and designated Hospital Sunday, it enabled congregations to remember their responsibilities towards the sick and it raised much-needed funds for what was essentially voluntary provision, prior to the establishment of the National Health Service. In so …
An Assessment of the County Review Process in Hampshire 1929–1932
Under the provisions of the Local Government Act 1929, Hampshire County Council along with other administrative counties was required to review the boundaries of the second and third tier authorities within its borders. As well as being a time-consuming process, it could also be a particularly contentious one. In the event, Hampshire used the opportunity to reduce significantly the number of relatively small second tier authorities, particularly …
The Early Years of the Christian Endeavour Movement
From its American roots in the early 1880s, within twenty years the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavour (YPSCE) had become a worldwide phenomenon. This article focuses on how the YPSCE developed at a local level, specifically within the English county of Hampshire. Here, as elsewhere, it touched a ‘spiritual nerve’. With its motto, ‘For Christ and the Church’, it quickly became established in the various denominations that constituted e…
Law breaking in hampshire as an expression of nonconformist opposition to the education act 1902
Militant nonconformists were prepared to go to the extreme of breaking the law in expressing their opposition to the highly controversial Balfour Education Act of 1902, which was seen as privileging the Church of England at their expense. This was even the case in Hampshire, where the bitterness associated with the legislation was not as great as elsewhere. Known as passive resistance, law breaking involved a refusal to pay a portion of the rates…
Churches and Adult Education in the Edwardian Era
Through their enthusiastic embrace of the doctrine of the ‘institutional church’, late Victorian and Edwardian Congregationalists demonstrated their commitment to, inter alia , the intellectual development of church members and adherents. Many churches, large and small, sponsored mutual improvement societies, literary and debating societies and programmes of public lectures, as well as ad hoc talks, covering every conceivable subject from the nat…
Skilful and Industrious’
The Edwardian era is generally regarded as witnessing the culmination of what has come to be known as ‘the first wave of feminism’. This presented challenges for those Christian denominations, such as Congregationalism, which sought to project a ‘progressive’ image. To prosper, Congregational churches in Hampshire depended upon skilful and industrious women, who often constituted two thirds of the membership. Yet despite the acknowledged contribu…
Memorializing 1662
Edwardian Congregationalists regarded 1662 as their annus mirabilis , to be venerated and celebrated in equal measure. For them it was the year when all that they revered, such as the enthronement of conscience, had been thrown into sharp relief by the Great Ejection. This event, which helped to shape the identity of historically minded Congregationalists, had acquired a mythical quality and become part of the denomination’s folk lore. The Ejecti…
Teaching Citizenship in Higher Education
Following the establishment of citizenship as a compulsory component of the National Curriculum for pre-16 year-olds in England in 2002, attention has turned to the role that universities can play in cultivating civic values. Against this background, the POLiS project has been developing, piloting and evaluating free-to-access, web-based learning activities that aim not only to teach students about current academic debates on citizenship, but als…
International networks in higher education
Purpose To illustrate the nature, range and variety of international networks linking individuals and institutions and reflecting the globalisation of higher education and desire of educators with common interests to shed their parochialism and communicate and collaborate on aspects of academic practice across national boundaries. Design/methodology/approach The authors draw on their personal experiences of securing European Union funding for est…
Student self‐managed learning – cause for concern
One of the defining characteristics of higher education is the expectation that undergraduates will exercise some responsibility for the management of their learning. In the UK and elsewhere student self‐managed learning has become more salient due to resource constraints and the increasing emphasis on equipping students with what they need to become lifelong learners. At the same time, as a result of widening access policies, developments in com…
Student self‐managed learning – time for action
As student self‐managed learning becomes an increasingly significant element of campus‐based higher education courses, so action is required to ensure that academic staff are primed to deal with the challenges involved. Reconciling the needs and inclinations of students with the capabilities and disposition of academic staff in this respect is not for the faint‐hearted. It calls for an active and sensitive leadership that is prepared to endorse r…
Languages in undergraduate business education
Undergraduate degree programmes combining language learning with business studies are becoming increasingly popular. While such a development is both understandable and laudable, it gives rise to a number of pedagogic challenges, not least with respect to flexibility of learning style. To succeed, students have to become adept at adjusting their style in line with the requirements of each component of the programme. At the extremes, for language …
