	William Morris: A Brief Biography
		At Oxford Morris became a member of an undergraduate aesthetic circle which was enamored of an idealized Middle Ages and heavily under the influence of Tennyson's Arthurian poems, Carlyle's Past and Present, and Ruskin's The Stones of Venice.
		Again, these years were formative: Morris, already possessed by the feeling that he had been "born out of his due time," fell in love with mediaeval art and architecture and with the mediaeval ideals of chivalry and of the communal life.
		For Morris, the Socialist movement, after 1870, came more and more to seem to be the only way to resolve the problems--poverty, unemployment, the death of art, the growing gap between the upper and lower Classes--which he saw as being the pervasive legacy, in Victorian society, of the ongoing Industrial Revolution.

	Robert Morris: The Oxford Merchant 1711-1750
		The growth of the vast west demanded a port of entry and departure upon the opposite shore, and this port was furnished by the town of Baltimore which grew proportionately with the growth of the country north and west, and finally absorbed the foreign and the greater part of the domestic trade of the Province.
		Morris was factor there, with whose transportation and distribution he may have had nothing to do, but with whose compulsory domiciliation in Maryland and elsewhere in the colonies, the fortunes of the Cunliffe's were involved.
		Morris lay in his sick chamber until his death, and then refusing to leave the room where his body was placed preparatory to interment, it crouched beneath his lifeless form, there died and was buried the same day as its beloved master.

	Morris Oxford Series VI
		At the same time as all the other Farina-styled BMC B-Series models were upgraded in the autumn of 1961,the Morris Oxford Series V became the Series V1.
		Compared with the Oxford Series V, the Series V1 had a slightly longer wheelbase and wider tracks, and anti-roll bars on front and rear suspensions to firm up the roadholding, the result being a car which felt more stable and handled better.
		Once it had been introduced, the Oxford was virtually ignored by BMC's product planners and engineers, for although it sold successfully, if not spectacularly, for ten years, the 1971 model was almost the same as the 1961 variety.

	Book Reviews: Morris
		Conway Morris sets the stage for much of the discussion that follows by stating that the role of contingency in evolution is flawed.
		Conway Morris uses the concept of a time machine of the imagination, in much the same way that Carl Sagan in his popular Public Television series Cosmos used the concept of a spaceship of the imagination, to take us on a trip to observe the Middle Cambrian Burgess Shale biota in vivo.
		In Chapters 6, 7, and 8, Conway Morris describes what he believes are some of the significant ways that study of the Burgess Shale and Burgess Shale-type deposits add to knowledge of evolution of life on Earth.

		Morris loves to present her personal experiences as typical and to dress it all up in a writing style that is just dying to impress.
		For her, Oxford was the heart of England, and England was the heart of the world.
		She suggests that moving the seat of government 56 miles from Westminster to Oxford might have prevented the dominance of the south-east of England over the whole country.

	William Morris
		During 1855 Morris began writing Arthurian poetry; representative of this period are his unfinished poems "Palomyde's Quest" and "St. Agne's Convent".
		Morris viewed his poetry as resembling Robert Browning's since many of his poems are dramatic narratives.
		For example, the "Defence of Guenevere" is a monologue in which Guenevere admits her guilt as well as discusses the difficulties of moral decisions and delays until Lancelot comes to rescue her.

		Morris imitates little save faults.' This was the first of a series of unfavourable reviews which led Morris to destroy many of the early poems he omitted from the volume.
		Morris then attempted to make a drawing of the choir but this was ruined when he knocked a bottle of ink over his sketch.
		Morris has always been the poet of moods rather than of passion, of adventures rather than of actions; and this characteristic is still to be traced in the third instalment of his great work; though there is a nearer approach to the familiar sources of human interest.'

		They drove from the dreaming spires of Oxford to the rather more rural Kiwi town of the same name - to raise money for the international charity, with Florence the star of the show on their 'oxford2oxford' road trip, which also marked the 50th anniversary of the famous Morris Oxford Series II.
		They are finishing their journey with a triumphant trip down Oxford Street on Friday, 22 July, and then on to the home straight to Oxford City centre to be greeted by the mayor at Radcliffe Square on Saturday, 23 July.
		Another reason they chose the Morris Oxford is that the most popular car in India, the Hindustan Ambassador, was based on it, making India a good place to find spares and expertise.

		This is no reflection on the Oxford's popularity, at the time, although some export markets may have found short falls in the specification.
		However, at home, in its van, pick-up and estate form, it was the trusted friend of many local tradesman builders, the milkman, the breadman, grocers, not forgetting the plumber, if only because in the latter case, through those practical rear doors the load space would easily accommodate a standard size bath unit.
		On paper the Oxford's recorded performance was hardly exciting, but behind the wheel, I remember, the car could be relied on to do the business, four up or driver only.

		By the late 1940's Morris desperately needed a modern, mid-sized, family saloon, in 1948 they launched the new Oxford MO. The Oxford featured an all new unit construction four door body, which had a similar appearance to the equally new Morris Minor MM.
		This new body shell was also used as the base for other "Nuffield" cars including the Morris Six, Wolseley 4/50 and 6/80.
		The Oxford MO remained in production in both Saloon and Traveller forms until the arrival of the Series II in 1954.

		Morris dancing is a custom with ancient origins, many people believing that it is descended from pagan spring and summer fertility rituals or “good luck” ceremonies.
		Oxford played an important part in this revival, as the first serious collecting of these dances was carried out by Cecil Sharp in Headington Quarry, after he had seen morris men perform on Boxing Day 1899.
		Oxford Morris Men were founded in 1938 and were formed to compensate for the temporary demise of other Oxford sides at that time.
