North. This book was released on 2004-10-01. The World of Ucl available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Notoriously declared 'the godless college in Gower Street', England's third university provoked both anxiety and contempt amongst 19th century establishment figures. The anxiety resulted from its progressive principles: UCL dared to open higher education to people excluded from Oxford and Cambridge. It was the first university in England to admit students of any race or class. It accepted students of any religion -or none- and excluded religious instruction from the syllabus. It later became the first to welcome women on equal terms with men. The contempt derived from UCL's insistence that it not be an 'ivory tower', but that its teaching and research be relevant to the world around it. It widened the curriculum, pioneering the teaching at university level of subjects such as law, modern languages and English and developing the use of laboratories in teaching science and engineering. The modern world was shaped by its academics' discoveries and inventions. Today UCL is one of the world's powerhouses of research and teaching. In this new and updated edition of the World of UCL, Neglay Harte and John North offer a behind-the-scenes look at UCL, from its earliest days as an upstart venture to its growth into one of the world's leading universities.

Download and read online ebook The Life of Margaret Alice Murray write by Kathleen L. Sheppard. This book was released on 2013-08-01. The Life of Margaret Alice Murray available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The Life of Margaret Alice Murray: A Woman’s Work in Archaeology is the first book-length biography of Margaret Alice Murray (1863–1963), one of the first women to practice archeology. Despite Murray’s numerous professional successes, her career has received little attention because she has been overshadowed by her mentor, Sir Flinders Petrie. This oversight has obscured the significance of her career including her fieldwork, the students she trained, her administration of the pioneering Egyptology Department at University College London (UCL), and her published works. Rather than focusing on Murray’s involvement in Petrie’s archaeological program, Kathleen L. Sheppard treats Murray as a practicing scientist with theories, ideas, and accomplishments of her own. This book analyzes the life and career of Margaret Alice Murray as a teacher, excavator, scholar, and popularizer of Egyptology, archaeology, anthropology, linguistics, and more. Sheppard also analyzes areas outside of Murray’s archaeology career, including her involvement in the suffrage movement, her work in folklore and witchcraft studies, and her life after her official retirement from UCL.
