Excerpt from Principles and Methods of University Reform: Report of the Hebdomadal Council, With an Introduction Submitted, on Behalf of the Council

The main objects which have appealed to all those who have interested themselves in recent years in the advancement of Oxford, and which were summarised in the Memorandum of April 1909, have been these - to strengthen and popularise the internal government of the University; to fortify the authority of the latter in the control of its own teachers and teaching, with due regard to the rights and interests of the Colleges; to remodel the conditions of entrance, so as at the same time to furnish a moderate test of educational fitness, and yet not to exclude those who are unable to pursue the study of Greek; to provide for the distribution of academic endowments with relation to the requirements of the University, the encouragement of advanced study, and the needs of poor men; to facilitate, by all reasonable means, the admission of the last-named class to Oxford; and to create a better system of financial accounts and financial control.
