A focused look at reforms shaping Oxford University in the early 20th century.

This edition presents Lord Curzon’s memorandum on how the University could modernize its governance, admissions, examinations, and discipline.

The text surveys proposed changes across the university system—from entrance examinations and university oversight to student discipline and the role of colleges. It outlines practical steps, possible government involvement, and the balance between tradition and necessary change, all rooted in the push for a more efficient, publicly responsible university.

Understand the key topics debated for reform, including admissions, exit exams, and the balance of power between the University and its colleges
See arguments for a national approach to school-leaving tests and university entrance
Explore concerns about fairness, especially for capable students with fewer resources
Learn how reform ideas were framed as ways to strengthen Oxford’s duties to the nation and its wider English-speaking community

Ideal for readers of educational history, university governance, and debates on reform within prestigious institutions.
