	Applying to Balliol College - UNDERGRADUATE COURSES
		Balliol College has a long tradition of admitting students to read Engineering and is one of a minority of Oxford Colleges to have three Tutorial Fellows in Engineering. Paul Buckley teaches mechanical, civil and materials engineering aspects of the course. His research is in the area of polymer engineering.
		The College takes a generous view of the need for occasional specialist supervision from outside Balliol, and it is usual for undergraduates to go to Tutors of other colleges who specialise in their chosen topics for two final-year papers.
		The College Tutors will be able to advise them, when they are choosing their optional subjects and projects, in what ways the selection may already be beginning to affect their future choice of careers.

	English at Balliol
		Occupying its present site since 1263, Balliol has a good claim to be considered the oldest of Oxford's colleges, so English, like most other subjects, is a comparatively recent addition to its academic life.
		(Balliol during this time occupied an extraordinarily dominant position within Oxford: 'If we had a little more money', Jowett confided to a friend, 'we could absorb the University'.) Many of the greatest Victorian poets have a Balliol connection.
		English was finally established as an Honours School at Oxford in the early twentieth century, and Balliol was one of the first colleges to teach it as an undergraduate subject.

		Although Spackman's fiction shares similarities with these writers -- his characters are well-educated, financially and socially secure and able to lapse into several languages in midsentence -- he takes the wind out of the high seriousness of his predecessors.
		His fiction is very funny, and his comedies often take place where earlier writers couldn't go: the bedroom.
		Indeed, his fiction is an important contribution to the literature of adultery, placing him in the company of Hawthorne, Flaubert and Tolstoy.

	About Balliol College: History - A Hundred Remarkable Past Alumni
		The list is thin for the College's first 500 years mainly because the College was much smaller than at present for much of that period.
		It may strike anyone unfamiliar with the College's long history that it is extraordinary that no women are listed.
		Although founded by a great lady of her time, Dervorguilla of Galloway, Lady of Balliol, women were not admitted until 1979, and so almost all the Balliol-educated women there have ever been are happily still alive and not yet eligible for this list.

	MUSIC IN ENGLISH DETECTIVE FICTION By Philip Scowcroft: MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Detective fiction is better written and more readable these days, taking the genre as a whole and a plausible, carefully researched background is more of a necessity in the old days when the "whodunit" puzzle was everything.
		Music, like every important human activity, is bound to figure in fiction to some degree and it no doubt does so in crime or detective fiction quite as much as in other types of novels, relatively speaking.
		But most crime fiction aims purely to entertain and the music therein, when it does occur, it is mostly subordinate to this general aim.
