This book considers a crucial moment in the development of English
higher education, and also provides a new and comprehensive history
of the early decades of Durham University. During the Age of Reform
innovative ideas about the role and purpose of a university were
moving at an unprecedented pace. Proposals for new institutions in
all parts of the country were developing quickly and resulted in
the foundation of Durham University, London University (later
re-styled University College, London), and King's College, London.
While normally overshadowed by the London institutions, this book
demonstrates not only that Durham attempted to produce a far
broader institution than any historian has given its founders
credit for, but that a remarkable attempt at a third-way in English
higher education has been neglected. Matthew Andrews therefore not
only provides the first fully researched account of this important
national institution since 1932, but also carefully situates Durham
in its contemporary context, and alongside the two other most
prominent emerging institutions of that time.
