First published in 1907 as part of the celebrated 'College
Monographs' series, Magdalen College, Oxford leads readers through
the tumultuous and distinguished history of one of Oxford
University's most famous institutions. Elected President of
Magdalen at the early age of 32, for the rest of his life Thomas
Herbert Warren nurtured a passionate enthusiasm for the college,
its architecture and traditions. His delight in presiding over such
a venerable foundation is evident in his celebratory account of its
various 'worthy' alumni including Wolsey, Gibbon and Addison.
However, his pride and loyalty did not prevent Warren from
committing to paper a number of less prestigious but equally
intriguing moments in the college's rich history. From the 'good
cheer and bad speeches' experienced in Hall, to the 'delinquencies
and debts' of undergraduates, and evidence of dons practising the
black arts, Warren's volume still offers readers more than the
average college history.
