A Plea For The Abolition Of Tests In The University Of Oxford (1864)

""A Plea For The Abolition Of Tests In The University Of Oxford"" is a book written by Goldwin Smith in 1864. In this book, Smith argues against the use of religious tests in the admission and hiring processes of the University of Oxford. He believes that these tests are discriminatory and prevent talented individuals from being admitted or hired based on their abilities rather than their religious beliefs. Smith also argues that the use of these tests goes against the principles of a free and open society. He suggests that the University of Oxford should remove these tests and allow individuals of all religions and beliefs to have equal opportunities to study and work at the institution. This book is a significant work in the history of the University of Oxford and the wider debate on religious freedom and discrimination.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
