Admission of Women to Oxford University- Archive 50 Very Rare Documents 1896

15259Women at Oxford. Archive of papers recording the great debate between the Association for promoting the Education of Women AEW at Oxford and the faculty and students who opposed their entrance. 1895-1896. Total of 50 separate documents ranging from printed single page letters through bound booklets. The majority of these documents are known to exist only in one single additional copy held by the University of Oxford; and several of the papers are not noted to be included even within Oxford's collection as per OCLC worldcat. This collection of papers is ripe for scholarly research. Forming a cohesive archive of 50 documents it includes synopses of the contents and resolution of meetings of the AEW arguments concerning various aspects of the question of inclusion of women at Oxford and advice for members concerning upcoming resolutions put to vote. The AEW was founded in 1873 to gain the full educational enfranchisement of women at Oxford who had actually been attending classes in small numbers by special permission since 1866. Despite vigorous support for the cause Oxford maintained as nearly the last hold-out against coeducation among British Universities not allowing women to gain the full B.A. degree until 1920. Some documents of the archive include "The Due Recognition of Women by the University of Oxford" 1896; "A Brief History of the Proposal to Admit Women to Degrees at Cambridge in 1887-8" by Thomas Case 1896; "The Value of a Genuine Diploma"; and "The B.A. Degree for Women." Full list available upon request. Individual pages or booklets sizes vary. Some hole-punched a few corner tears light edge soiling and toning. Some stamped with circular stamp "Board of Education Library"; most with numerical markers in red to upper right corner of documents. All in good condition and clearly legible. Full of sagacity and wit this archive evidences the reasoned support of women's right to the diploma over twenty years before it was finally granted.

William Warde Fowler (1827-1941), classical historian and ornithologist, tutor at Lincoln Colege, Oxford:Biblio.com

William Warde Fowler historian and ornithologist tutor at Lincoln College Oxford. Typed Letter Signed to ‘Bridge’ discussing 'the diminution of corn-growing' and an ornithological excursion.

26034‘Kingham April 13 1913’. Fowler’s entry in the DNB states that he resigned his tutorship in 1910 when he ‘retired to Kingham where since 1873 he had enjoyed a country home and entertained his pupils. From 1899 he lived there with his sister Alice’. On both sides of what was an 8vo leaf the lower part of which has been torn away leaving a piece roughly 20 cm square with 26 typed lines and the autograph valediction in a large bold hand ‘Yours sincerely / W. Warde Fowler’. Aged and worn but with the remaining text clear. A nice letter combining Fowler’s main interests. He begins by answering a question by the recipient explaining his reasons for gradually coming to doubt ‘the old view’ with reference to Mommsen and a work by Salvioli and giving details of his first expression of his ‘new conviction’ in a couple of publications. ‘I think there has been a change of opinion in the historical world generally since then. The diminution of corn-growing was due to several causes as it was also in England in the 16th century & onwards. No doubt foreign importation may have had something to do with it but the old assumption was that Italy was in early times a corn-growing country which I can’t believe.’ Turning to ornithology he explains that he has guests from London and that it is a ‘glorious morning’ and that they are all ‘just getting ready to go out & look for migrants &c.’ They have been ‘in woods hearing old chiffchaffs & willow-wrens & getting anemones & cowslips’. He ‘can’t hear the birds as well’ as he used to ‘but as I had a good thirty years of them I can imagine them to my satisfaction still.’ This brings the first page to where the letter has been torn away. The reverse begins abruptly: ‘the B.O.C. that Collett took Alban there the other day: but the meeting did not seem a very interesting one.’ The letter concludes with a short reference to the recipient’s marriage. ‘Kingham, April 13 1913’. unknown
