The German Officer Corps
1890-1914
By
MARTIN KITCHIN,
Simon Fraser University.
No longer able to count on
the admiration of a nation grateful for unification, and unwilling to make any
concessions to liberalism or democracy, the army under Wilhelm adopted an
extreme conservative position. It alternated between active meddling in politics
and critical isolation-contributing greatly to the lack of political equilibrium
in Germany. This study, based extensively on unpublished sources, offers new
insights into the complexities of Germany at the turn of the century.

Christ Church and Reform,
1850..1867
By
E. G. W. BILL
and
J . F. A. MASON. For 300 years Christ Church, Oxford,
had no statutes, but the omission was rectified
in
1858 and 1867. This book, the
fint
in
a series on the college, relates the history of this dilatory dispensation
drawing on many hitherto unexplored sources. The events culminating in the
Christ Church Act of 1867 are seen as critical historically to the college and as
an episode in the great debate on university reform which convulsed Oxford in
the 19th century. 8
plates. (Christ Church Papers. )
