[ University of Oxford; General Election of 1852; William Ewart Gladstone; Robert Bullock Marsham, Warden of Merton College; RevBiblio.com

Oxford Gladstone Marsham and the General Election of 1852. Spoof in the form of a printed circular from 'Mrs. Harris' Commemoration Advertiser' with a variety of in-jokes poking fun at the University.

20018Printed for the Authoress" University of Oxford. 1852. . A lively Oxford spoof which can be dated precisely from the references to Marsham Gladstone and the coming General Election. In the General Election of July 1852 the Peelite Gladstone defeated the Conservative Marsham who had been put forward by 'the heads Protestants and protectionists'. A reference to German education is a nod towards the first Oxford University Commission whose report published in 1852 recommended that a switch to a more Germanic educational system. For the background see Brock and Curthoys 'History of the University of Oxford' vol. 6 1997. Printed in black on one side of a 31 x 19 cm. piece of wove paper. In fair condition lightly aged and worn. An announcement in the customary Victorian style of mixed typefaces and point sizes with a series of 'advertisements' printed one above the other. At bottom right: 'Printed for the Authoress.' Begins: 'Mrs. Harris' Commemoration Advertiser The Perfect Substitute for Reform. The Abolition of Dons: A single Trial will convince the most incredulous. The Metaphysical Syphonia Or invisible Wrapper warranted Reason proof and weighs nothing. Apply to the Marines. Il n'y a pas de prix fixe.' A number of quips follow including a dig at 'the Proctors' a list of five 'Candidates for vacant Professorships' the last: 'Practical Electioneering . All the Fellows of Ln.' a fake advertisement for a new book titled 'The Freshman's Vade-Mecum'. The next section refers to the recommendation of the Oxford University Commission that the University follow the German mode of education: 'A Professor Not unequal as he trusts to the educational requirements of the 19th Century has a vacancy for One Pupil. He engages that in six months his fond parents shall not know him from a GERMAN STUDENT. N.B. Duelling extra.' Next there is another spoof advertisement for a book this one titled 'Weathercockiana or the Gladstone of the Future.' Then there comes: 'PRIZE ESSAY Open to all Masters of Arts who have not Graduated in Honours; and to be awarded when Dr. Marsham is returned for the University â€œOn the best means of reconciling the Duties of a Head of a House with those of a Member of Parliament.â€' A couple more joke announcements end the spoof. Presumably "Mrs Harris" is inspired by the non-appearing character in Dickens' "Martin Chuzzlewit". From the papers of Rev. Dr Richard Harington Principal of Brasenose College Oxford. No other copy traced either on OCLC WorldCat or on COPAC. Printed for the Authoress" [ University of Oxford. 1852. ] unknown

ARCHIVE OF MATERIAL ON THE 1962 BATTLE OF OXFORD MISSISSIPPI - INCLUDING AN UNPUBLISHED ACCOUNT OF THE RIOTS BY AN OLE MISS PROFESSOR

1282914A small group of material relating to the October 1962 riots at the University of Mississippi following the enrollment of the school's first Black student James H. Meredith. The highlight of this collection is a copy of the book INTEGRATION AT OLE MISS by Russell Barrett which is annotated by Ole Miss professor William B. Keith. Included is a xerox copy of an unpublished two-page typed letter by Keith detailing his experiences during the riot. The letter is addressed to his close friend Don Davis a high school history teacher and principal in Ohio. In the letter Keith recalls the trepidation of not knowing how Gov. Barnett would respond the the Federal government forcing the issue of desegregation at Ole Miss; his recollection of the Sept. 30 Ole Miss football game; and the subsequent beginning of the riots the following day. Keith and a friend then graduate students at Ole Miss went over the Lyceum where students were gathering. He notes there are actually pictures of him in the crowd included in the Barrett book and that he has marked them. He was still in the crowd when the first volley of tear gas was fired into the crowd. A State Patrol officer next to him was struck in the head and Keith and a Miss. patrolman carried the officer to safety. It then occurred to Keith to go over to the biology building to lock up the dangerous acids kept there a smart move as rioters did break into the building to search for flammable acids. His account then ends as he watched the rest of the action on television. The letter is included in a copy of Russell Barrett's Integration at Ole Miss Chicago: 1965 1st ed which is inscribed from the author to Don Davis the recipient of Keith's letter. Also included is a two-page ALS from Keith to Davis discussing hopes they can visit soon. Keith became a long-time Professor of Biology at Ole Miss until his death in 2007. The whereabouts of the original of the letter if it still exists are unknown. Also included: James W. Silver. Mississippi: The Closed Society NY: Harcourt Brace 1964. Inscribed to Davis by Bill Keith along with an original one-page typed letter signed from Keith to Davis. James W. Silver. Running Scared: Silver in Mississippi. Inscribed from Keith to Davis. A four-page typed document which was distributed on the Ole Miss campus in late Sept. 1962 by the school's Board of Trustees. The first page is a statement from the Trustees that they are complying with the Federal Court order to enroll James Meredith. The remaining three pages are a copy of the official court order. The document is is signed by Wm. B. Keith on the first page. unknown
