The Legacy of the Victory University. 330 $aThis book examines the establishment (in 1880) and dissolution (in 1903) of the Victoria University as a federal institution for the North of England. It was a ?disruptor?, an experiment intended to meet growing demand for high level study in the industrial cities of the North and to provide a regional organisation for higher education. The experiment ended in failure and has never been repeated; rather, it heralded the emergence of independent civic universities that would prove so influential in the following years. As well as considering the federalisation legacy, the book also identifies important areas of activity where the Victoria University broke new ground, including innovations in the relationship between teaching and examining, links with schools and other education providers and the funding of higher education. The book is based on original archival research and will appeal to historians of education and more generally to social historians. John Taylor is Visiting Professor in the Department of Educational Research at Lancaster University, UK. 606 $aEducation$xHistory 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aEducation, Higher 606 $aSchool management and organization 606 $aSchool management and organization 606 $aHistory of Education 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 606 $aHigher Education 606 $aOrganization and Leadership 615 0$aEducation$xHistory. 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 615 0$aSchool management and organization. 615 0$aSchool management and organization. 615 14$aHistory of Education. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aHigher Education. 615 24$aOrganization and Leadership. 676 $a370.9 700 $aTaylor$b John$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0361438 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911007463503321 996 $aThe Historical Disruption of English Higher Education$94393326 997 $aUNINA
