Sinopsis
Excerpt from Principles and Methods of University Reform: Report of the Hebdomadal Council, With an Introduction Submitted, on Behalf of the Council
The main objects which have appealed to all those who have interested themselves in recent years in the advancement of Oxford, and which were summarised in the Memorandum of April 1909, have been these - to strengthen and popularise the internal government of the University; to fortify the authority of the latter in the control of its own teachers and teaching, with due regard to the rights and interests of the Colleges; to remodel the conditions of entrance, so as at the same time to furnish a moderate test of educational fitness, and yet not to exclude those who are unable to pursue the study of Greek; to provide for the distribution of academic endowments with relation to the requirements of the University, the encouragement of advanced study, and the needs of poor men; to facilitate, by all reasonable means, the admission of the last-named class to Oxford; and to create a better system of financial accounts and financial control.

Excerpt from Principles and Methods of University Reform: Report of the Hebdomadal Council, With an Introduction Submitted, on Behalf of the Council
On April 28, 1909, there was published by the University Press a Memorandum entitled Principles and Methods of University Reform in which, after the advantage of consultation with leading men of all parties in the University, I endeavoured to indicate the character of the problem of internal reconstruction which the University was known to be both willing and anxious to discuss, and invited the attention of the Hebdomadal Council to various proposals that had found favour with different sections of academic thought or appeared to be supported by influential opinion. The present Report contains the subsequent history of these proposals, as examined and reported upon in the first place by Committees of Council and then discussed and accepted (or modified) by Council itself: and the present Introduction, which I write on behalf of the latter body, is intended to explain the general principles upon which the Hebdomadal Council has proceeded, and the nature of the recommendations which it now submits to the University.
The actual procedure adopted is made clear upon a subsequent page. Immediately after the appearance of the Memorandum in 1909 Council held a series of meetings at which, after an exhaustive discussion, a number of Resolutions were passed upon the leading proposals contained therein. By these Resolutions, which were published in the University Gazette, and are reproduced in the present Report, Council pledged itself to a definite scheme of policy upon almost every debated issue of University Reform. Committees of Council were then appointed to meet, to take evidence, and to consult authorities with a view to framing concrete plans for carrying out the above Resolutions.
