  • The Life and Educational Ideas of Sir Oliver Joseph Lodge, the First Principal of the University of Birmingham: Examinations and Education in Early 20th Century British Universities

Description

The granting of a charter to an independent civic university in Birmingham was a momentous event in the history of higher education in Britain. The process by which local university colleges were granted university status tends to focus on the influence of normative institutions such as Oxford and Cambridge.Sir Oliver Joseph Lodge, a physicist, became the first principal of the new University of Birmingham in 1900 at the invitation of Joseph Chamberlain. Lodge’s rise to　prominence was quite remarkable for a man without a public school or Oxbridge education, who only began his own higher education at the age of twenty-two. He proved his ability through public examinations and took his academic career into his own hands.This study examines the idea of education and examinations at the University of Birmingham in the early years in relation to Lodge’s educational ideas and experiences.
