Wherever he went in the Empire, Cecil Rhodes observed, he found
Oxford men on top. This scholarly and entertaining book examines
how and why Oxford dominated Imperial policy and administration
through its network of classical graduates; how Oxford's
Imperialists and anti-Imperialists conducted their arguments in
light of the history of Greece and Rome; and how proconsuls,
missionaries, and teachers carried her traditions abroad. The
conflicting hopes of what various groups in the University sought
to obtain in the name of Empire are explored as well as the often
bewildering impact of Oxford on the colonials who went there to
study.
