Durham University Calendar With Almanack 1916-1917

By: Unknown

A ledger of academic life at Durham. Essence of Edwardian student life. The Durham University Calendar With Almanack 1916-1917 preserves the working detail of an academic year: term dates, official notices and the everyday timetables that once organised campus life. Issued originally as a practical student reference guide, the almanack functions as both an operational handbook and a civic record, suited to the bookshelf of students, scholars and collectors. It sits naturally in any university calendar collection, offering a direct encounter with vintage academic schedules and institutional lists - the administrative grammar that underpinned teaching, examinations and ceremonies. Read casually, the pages give a textured sense of place; read closely, they supply factual anchors for biographies, institutional histories and studies of early higher education. More than a directory, this British academic register acts as a compact body of historical university records that illuminates early 20th century academia and the history of Durham, England with immediate specificity. As an academic almanac 1910s compendium it provides evidence of institutional practice that researchers and historians can cite or cross-reference. Genealogists will find names and affiliations that make it a reliable genealogy research tool; local historians will appreciate the granular notes that situate college life within city life. Scholars of educational practice can observe traces of Edwardian-era education in its formality and layout, and curators and archivists will value its fit among archival university documents and related vintage academic schedules. A resource for libraries, bibliographers and local historians, it offers clear evidence for institutional research, enriches local narrative and supports comparative studies of university life. Its straightforward, archival nature makes it easy to consult while preserving original tone. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Accessible to casual readers yet exact enough for classic-literature collectors, this edition balances usability with provenance, offering a primary-source glance into institutional life in the early twentieth century.
