Somerville 140 is a celebration of the college’s foundation 140 years ago. It tells the stories of some of the extraordinary individuals who have been part of Somerville (including two prime ministers, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist and over seventy published authors). A catalogue of the rare, the everyday and the just plain curious, this beautifully illustrated work includes everything from sculpture to teapots and books to bicycle racks.Contents:ForewordA Rare and Valuable ThingA Brief History of Somerville1780-1872: In Memory of the Late Mary Somerville1879-1906: The Life of an English Family1907-1945: Our Entry Within the Charmed Circle1945-1989: Always Have Your Plans on the Drawing Board1989-2019: A Place of Radical ChangeAfterwordAcknowledgementsIndex
