Author

Evans, G. R.

Subjects

Abstract

The recent highly public debates in th e University of Oxford about its future governance arrangements have raised questions of importance to all institutions involved in the provision of higher education, about public policy and state control and the role of the funding councils. This article begins with an outline of the relevant distinctive features of Oxford governance. It is mainly concerned with the history of the controversy as it has unfolded during the last few years, with particular reference to the part played by HEFCE. It concludes with a note on proposed moves within the University of Cambridge and an appendix comparing the way the direct democracies of the two ancient universities conduct their public debates.

3. Calvin on signs: an Augustinian dilemma.

Author

Evans, G. R.

Subjects
EDUCATION, PROTESTANTS, CHRISTIANS, BAPTISM, SACRAMENTS
Abstract

The article reports that protestant reformer John Calvin's emphasis upon the two sacraments instituted by Christ, baptism and the eucharist, is, like that of other reformers, in some measure an attempt to clarify by insisting upon differences. But it is necessary only because of the established habit of linking images and relics and all sorts of 'significant things' with the outward and visible signs of the sacraments as means of instruction used by God to teach his people about spiritual realities. The theory of signification which underlies this habit of thought is Saint Augustine's. When Calvin refers to the sacraments as visible 'words', he is assuming with Augustine that words and things are both capable of signification.
