Abstract:
THE contents of what was described in 1885 as ‘the most extensive and the most interesting of the old Grammar School Libraries of Lancashire’, the Burnley Grammar School Library, shed interesting light on the state of religious controversy in the north between the late sixteenth and the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. The library, which, through the generosity of Burnley Grammar School and with the kind co-operation of the Lancashire County Library, is now on permanent loan at Lancaster University, forms, as presently constituted, a collection of 875 volumes, published mainly in the seventeenth century. It owes its foundation to, and, as we shall see, reflects the religious interests, aims, and viewpoint of, the Revd Henry Halsted (1641-1728), rector of Stansfield, in Suffolk, who left the whole of his personal library to the Burnley Grammar School in 1728. Shortly after Halsted’s death, the collection was augmented by a small addition of books presented by another clergyman, the Revd Edmund Towneley of Rowley, rector of Slaidburn, Lancashire. It is, therefore, essentially a clerical and religious library and provides an interesting example of what sort of material typical, affluent English incumbents of the Augustan and early Hanoverian period considered worthy of places on their study shelves. For purposes of comparison within the region, a collection by two laymen made in another northern town and, like the Halsted-Towneley collection, charitably gifted, the Petyt Library, built up to over two thousand volumes by two brothers in the first decade of the eighteenth century, and now housed within Skipton Public Library, with its heavy emphasis on divinity, can be profitably examined. In the essay that follows we shall consider the Burnley Collection as essentially that of its principal donor, Henry Halsted, and as enshrining his aims.

Abstract:
In Memory of Tord Ehnevid, 1922 - 2000By Gert NilssonDoctor of divinity Gert Nilsson’s obituary of the Swedish Grundtvig scholar Tord Ehnevid begins with a presentation of Ehnevid’s background and his point of departure. Ehnevid was bom into an evironment characterized partly by revivalist piety, partly by Swedish State Church tradition, a fact which came to influence his later research. Tord Ehnevid studied theology at Lund and took holy orders in 1947. After working as a clergyman for some years, continuing his studies at the same time, he became a curate in Trelleborg in 1958, and subsequently worked as a grammar school teacher at Söderslatt Grammar School until his retirement.In 1959 his doctoral thesis Församlingsetik Studier over Grundtvig, Morten Pontoppidan och Einar Billing was published. The thesis focuses on the national church and its congregational ethics, comparing important positions in Danish and Swedish theology. In the following years Ehnevid published a number of writings in Grundtvig Studier, such as The dominant Peoples in History according to Grundtvig and Hegel in 1973. In »Vad Sandhed er skal tiden vise«, 1998, Ehnevid deals with the concept of truth, time and ethics in Grundtvig’s works.From the early 1970’s Tord Ehnevid was a member of the Grundtvig society committee. And as late as 1998 he participated in the annual meeting in Århus. With Tord Ehnevid’s decease, a good clergyman, a competent pedagogue and an original interpreter of Danish and Swedish theology has passed away. His ideas and writings will live.

Abstract:
This article applies to a minister of the Calvinist Church in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Gabriel Dyjakiewicz (1660–1724), who became the superintendent of Unitas Lithuaniae (the Lithuanian Brethren) in the Podlasie district and proved to be a remarkable figure. His career was launched successfully thanks to the scholarships given to him. The text is primarily based on memoirs written by him of almost his whole life, and archival documents in the collection of the Reformed Synod, mainly held by the Wróblewski Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences in Vilnius. The education of Dyjakiewicz consisted of several stages: first, only a twoyear study in the Grammar school in Slutsk, where he received a private scholarship for further education, this time in Protestant university centres. Second, studies at the University of Königsberg and the University of Leiden. In the last case, Dyjakiewicz most likely benefited from a scholarship which he had received from Unitas Lithuaniae. The author briefly characterises both the nature of the grammar school and the two universities, and the obligations which rested on bursary holders. The rest of the article is devoted to the professional and public activities of Dyjakiewicz.

Full text
Abstract:
The culture of the Jesuit teacher consisted of his daily pedagogical attitudes, habits, and practices. In 1560, General Laínez decreed that the schools were the most important ministry and that all Jesuit scholastics and priests must teach. All taught grammar and humanities classes in the lower school for three to five years, and some Jesuits spent most of their careers teaching in the upper school. Learning to manage a classroom of fifty to one hundred boys with the aid of student helpers called decurions was part of teacher culture. Jesuit teacher culture strongly emphasized competition. It rewarded good students and punished weak students. A major purpose of Jesuit teacher culture was to educate boys to be good future leaders of the state and the church. Jesuit teacher culture gave preference to well-born students. It also urged teachers to help lowborn and academically weak students.

Abstract:
Alexander (‘Alec’) Walter Merrison was born in Wood Green, London, on 20 March 1924. He was the only child of Henry Walter Merrison, a fitter's mate, who rose to be a service manager in the local Gas Board and a respected Chairman of the Tottenham Group of Hospitals, and of Violet Henrietta Merrison ( née Mortimer) the daughter of an Ipswich family. Alec attended Tottenham Grammar School, then the Grammar School, Enfield, where he took the Higher School Certificate in physics, chemistry and mathematics. He became Captain of the school and is remembered as a fine scholar with a pleasant manner. His qualities of leadership were already evident at a very young age. He was also a choirboy at All Hallows Church, Wood Green, where his lifelong love of music was first developed. ;In 1944 he graduated in physics at King's College, London, when he was just 20 years old, researching radio wave propagation, after which he was ‘placed’ on wartime radar at the Signals Research Development Establishment at Christchurch, the only Englishman and civilian in a group of 26 engineers of the Polish Army in exile. Two years later he requested a transfer to the Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell to participate in research of a more interesting and challenging nature. There he came under the tutelage of O.R. Frisch (F.R.S. 1948) and J.D. (later Sir John) Cockcroft, F.R.S., who were the leading research scientists in nuclear physics. At that time Harwell was the breeding ground for a generation of British physicists; Alec clearly relished this new environment, helping to equip an electron accelerator to produce short pulses of neutrons. His first published papers described how the new technique could be used to study the interaction of neutrons with matter. This was his first experience of the use of particle accelerators as powerful probes to investigate nuclear matter. The technique of neutron scattering from bulk matter is now an important discipline in its own right, and the genesis of the current world-leading facility (ISIS) at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory can be traced back to these pioneering experiments in which Alec played a major role.

Full text
Abstract:
In the years 1841–1854 the Benedictine Beda Dudík (1815–1890) worked as a teacher at the Episcopal Institute of Philosophy in Brno and then at the Higher Grammar School in Brno. As a teacher and a supporter of a development of the Czech national movement in Moravia he strove for the introduction of teaching of the Czech language and literature in the Moravian church education. He succeeded in his efforts and the Court study commission and the Episcopal ordinariate in Brno permitted teaching of the Czech language within the school curriculum of the Institute of Philosophy. For the successful completion of the teaching, Dudik compiled a textbook for his students about history of the Czech language and book writing and he intended to publish it in print at “Matice česká” in Prague. The textbook was approved successfully in a censorship procedure; however, it was not finally published in print due to disagreements with the authors of the compiled works. Nevertheless, it was significant for the development of national efforts in Moravia and it, first and foremost, revealed the young Beda Dudík as a great supporter of the then minority Czech national movement in Moravia, which changed later when he left his pedagogical experience in favour of his better-known historiographical, official and diplomatic practice.

Abstract:
The paper features a biography of Metropolitan Peter Jovanovic (1833-1859), secular name Pavle, which was written for the Society of Serbian Literacy by Gabriel Popovic, the archimandrite of Vracevsnica monastery, in July 1857. Popovic was a close associate of Metropolitan Peter. The short biography lists the most important events from the Metropolitan?s life; his birth in Ilok in Syrmia on February 18, 1800, education in the place of birth, then in Sremski Karlovci and Szeged, where he acquired a high philosophical and theological learning, and later his professorship at Karlovci Grammar School from 1820 to 1830. His service in the Principality of Serbia extended from 1830 to 1859, first in the capacity of court secretary and secretary to Prince Milos, then as metropolitan from 1833 to 1859. In addition, the biography summarises the most relevant results of the Metropolitan?s governance: the advancement of church organisation in the Principality of Serbia, education of the clergy, the improvement of their material position and the work on publishing textbooks and theological literature.

Full text
Abstract:
The article analyses the organisation of higher education by the Calvinist Church of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (Unitas Lituaniae) in the 17th century, in the period of the weakening of the Reformation, covering the first half of the 17th century, and the second half of the century, when Evangelicals became a religious minority. Research reveals that the education of young people at foreign universities was funded by private means, collected in the districts and accumulated by the Synod. This article also investigates the formation of the institution of international alumni at the Synod of the Calvinist Church, which became part of the system of education of that Church. The stipendiaries had to make up for the financial aid by working at locations assigned by the Synod. The continuous operation of the institute of international alumni at the Synod for more than a century permitted cultural contacts and simultaneously promoted the infusion of new ideas into the evolution of Lithuanian culture. The most important of the latter included the formation of groups of clergymen and school teachers with a university education; the nurturing of Adomas Rasijus’ (ca 1575–1627/8) projects for the adjustment of the social structure and the refinement of the education system in Lithuania by the establishment of academic grammar schools for the nobility and merchants from Lithuania with special syllabi; the encouragement of S.B. Chylinski to translate the Bible into Lithuanian in the middle of the 17th century in Franeker and London; understanding the importance of the Lithuanian language as a written language and the language of the Holy Scripture; the possibility to get acquainted with the translation, text and commentaries of the Dutch Statenbijbel; the encouragement to complete the translation of the New Testament into the Lithuanian language and publish it in 1701; planning the translation of a commentary to the Dutch Statenbijbel into Polish.

Full text
Abstract:
The study of ancient Greek and Latin in Australia and New Zealand, especially at Sydney Church of England Grammar School in New South Wales, produced this century a number of leading scholars who made a major contribution to the study of Old World archaeology in Europe and Australia this century. Among them were V. G. Childe, T. J. Dunbabin, J. R. Stewart and A. D. Trendall. In developing their respective fields of expertise, all spent some time in Greece, as students, excavators, research workers and soldiers, and had formative links with the British School at Athens. Australia's debt to the Classics is reflected not only in the life-long attachment to their legacy, and to Greece, by the former Prime Minister, the Hon. E. G. Whitlam, but in the perpetuation of their influence in such Colonial and modern structures as the monument of Lysicrates in Sydney's Botanic Gardens and the National Library and new Parliament House in Canberra, and in an official poster illustrating multiculturalism in Australia. Despite their role in shaping Australia's European history, the teaching of Classics is under threat as never before, and the late Enoch Powell, at one time Professor of Ancient Greek at the University of Sydney, has stigmatised the obscurantism which threatens to impoverish if not undermine Western civilisation by closing access to knowledge of our Classical past.

Full text
Abstract:
The amalgamation of Broadland House C.E.G.G.S. and the Launceston Church Grammar School was announced, as a fait accompli, in April 1982. The merger was to be in two stages; the separate operation of both schools under the one Headmaster from June 1982 and the completely merged schools from the beginning of 1983. Both Broadland House and the Launceston Grammar claim to be the oldest continuing schools in Australia, having been founded in 1845 and 1846 respectively. The fact that many families had been involved with either or both schools for four or five generations led to period of bitter conflict and resistance to change, which was largely overcome by the end of the first year of operation. Diminishing enrolments at both schools had been brought about largely through the rural recession in Tasmania during the 1960's, together with the provision of better school facilities and roads in the rural areas of Tasmania. The Launceston Church Grammar had become co-educational in 1972, largely as a means of survival. Previous approaches to Broadland House, by the Grammar School, to consider amalgamation had been rejected. This study endeavours to determine the strategies which led to the almost total acceptance of the amalgamation between the Broadland House Church of England Girls Grammar School and the Launceston Church Grammar School, and to explain those strategies through reference to the literature on the management of change. This involved rationalising resources, setting up new academic courses, providing physical facilities, considering the traditions of both schools, the gaining of financial, support and of developing acceptance of the change within the school community and within the community at large. The study follows the period covering the eight months of preparation prior to the amalgamation together with its first 5 years of operation, during which time the School has grown considerably and enjoys wide confidence and support. As amalgamations are occurring more regularly across the nation, it is hoped that the lessons learned through this educational innovation will be of benefit to others.

Abstract:
This study reports research employing a three-phase methodology to investigate the nature and communication of the school culture of the Anglican Church Grammar School Brisbane. A preliminary survey with open-ended questions was used to obtain general opinion on the nature of the school's culture, how it is communicated and the role of the school's organisation structure in communicating the school's culture. From the results of this preliminary survey, a set of ratings was developed and given to randomly selected samples of ex-students, parents, staff and senior students. A descriptive statistical analysis of this main survey was used in providing answers to the research questions concerning the nature of the school's culture, the influence of the school's organisational structure on it, and how the culture is communicated within the school and to the general public. Data from the main survey were used to develop a set of scales, the Communication of School Culture Instrument, which was used to give comparisons of the perceptions of school culture by the four population sub-groups (viz. ex-students, parents, staff & students) of the school. Statistical findings from the surveys and the CSCI were complemented by a series of in-depth interviews of representatives of the school population sub-groups. Analysis of data suggested that, whilst the school's sub-groups generally shared perceptions about the nature of the school's culture, there were significant differences of opinion about how this culture was communicated and influenced by the school's organisational structure. There was also a significant difference of perspective between the adult males and females of the total school population. An analysis of perspective of ex-students from different time periods of attending the school from the 1920s to present, did not show any significant differences in perspective, suggesting a constancy of the school's culture over time. Several other areas of investigation which would be worthy of further attention are the role of mothers and female members of staff in a boys' school, and the impact of boarding students as a sub-culture would be worthy of further study in this school.

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with the development of the church educational system and its mission in the educational scheme of the Czech Republic. It also explores the post- revolutionary development and contemporary legislative background of the church educational system. The key chapter is devoted to more than 150-year history of Archbishop Grammar School in Kroměříž - since its foundation, through the communist period, until its restoration and its present condition. Then a detailed analysis of the spiritual environment and catechetic activity presently performed at Archbishop Grammar School follows. The goal of this thesis is to map out currently used methods and catechetic models at Archbishop Grammar School, their effectiveness, their usage and available means, with which it is possible to work at the school. The whole thesis thus responds to the need of objective evaluation of catechetic activity at Archbishop Grammar School in Kroměříž and wants to contribute to further possible development of this activity in the spirit of bigger effectiveness.

Full text
Abstract:
Chapter three identifies the sodomitical subtext informing a hospitality crisis on a different register, one provoked by the controversial pastoral career of Mary Ward (1585-1645), the early modern “Jesuitress” missionary. The ensemble of commemorative paintings chronicling Ward’s career (the so-called Painted Life) suggestively folds both the scandal and the eschatological resilience of Ward’s public teaching ministry into a forgotten legacy of Lot’s wife. The paintings’ visual testimony achieves this by recapturing second-century church father Irenaeus of Lyons’ intuition of the abandoned woman in Genesis 19 as the spiritually radiant figure of the ecclesial community’s patient dwelling between disaster and redemption. The paintings’ anamorphically transfigured markers of Lot’s wife confirm Erich Auerbach’s cherished hope in the adaptability of figura as a means of maintaining neighborly proximity between past and present in historical realism’s secular grammar. The paintings also anticipate the keen interest that Auerbach’s contemporaries from the progressive ressourcement school of Catholic theology would also develop in deploying figura’s resources as a means of opening up more generous – more hospitable – pathways between Catholicism and modernity.
