Aspects of Modern Oxford, by a Mere Don Of dons and colleges -- Of undergraduates -- Of sightseers -- Of examinations -- University journalism -- The University as seen from outside -- Diary of a don -- The University as a place of learned leisure. Produced by Al Haines "Aspects of Modern Oxford" by A. D. Godley is a collection of reflections on university life written in the late 19th century. This work examines the complexities of the collegiate experience at Oxford, touching on various themes such as the roles of dons (fellow members of the college faculty), undergraduates, university traditions, and social dynamics. It also highlights the challenges of communicating the essence of the university to an external audience unfamiliar with its traditions and intricacies. The opening portion of the work sets the stage by exploring the historical context of fellows and colleges in Oxford, emphasizing the often confusing nature of their existence both inside and outside the university. It discusses the difficulties faced by faculty members in explaining their roles to foreign visitors and the misunderstandings that arise from varying educational structures. The author contrasts the original purpose of colleges as centers of scholarly study with the current realities, hinting at a shift in focus towards the cultural and social aspects of university life. Through wit and observation, Godley paints a vivid picture of the Oxford experience, inviting readers to consider the rich tapestry of lives and traditions that form this distinguished institution.
