		The Oxford University Student Union is the official student union of the University of Oxford, representing the interests of its members to the university and the outside world.
		Reflecting the federated nature of the University of Oxford itself, OUSU is both an association of Oxford's more than 17,000 individual students and a federation of the Junior Common Rooms (JCRs) and Middle Common Rooms (MCRs) that represent students and graduate students (respectively) at the University's 46 colleges.
		The University of Oxford's nascent students' union arguably emerged in the 13th century, as student leaders attempted to mediate the violent clashes between "nations" at the University.

	EducationGuardian.co.uk \| Students \| Oxford Union accused of bias over marble debate
		Oxford Union - the self-proclaimed "most famous debating society in the world" - has hosted a number of contentious debates during its 175-year history (speakers have included Malcolm X, Richard Nixon, Gerry Adams and OJ Simpson).
		The union has denied their allegations, claiming it was a fair and balanced debate, and the result - 133 voted to return the marbles and 75 for them to be retained - reflected the outcome of similar votes held in the past.
		Georgina Costa, president of the union, admitted that some of the event's organisation - including the selection of speakers - had been left to the festival organisers, but maintained they did not compromise the union's integrity and the debate was fair and rigorous.

	EducationGuardian.co.uk \| higher news \| Oxford Union withdraws invitation to Irving
		The Oxford Union has today backed down from plans to invite the controversial historian David Irving as a guest speaker.
		"Obviously we are extremely pleased by the decision but the real tragedy is that the Oxford Union felt it was acceptable to invite a holocaust denier to speak in the first place," said Simon Petar, a member of the national executive of the National Union of Students.
		Oxford Union argues that Mr Irving was not invited to speak about himself or his views, but only on a particular debate entitled 'this house would restrict the freedom of speech of extremists'.

	Part 4: Wilde at Oxford/Oxford Gone Wilde
		At Oxford, Wilde, in Richard Ellmann's words, "created himself." Perhaps the most important influences on Wilde at Oxford were Walter Pater, John Addington Symonds, and John Ruskin.
		By the time he left Oxford for London, Wilde's double first in "Greats" (said to be the best of his year) and his Newdigate Prize for poetry, had spread his fame far beyond the confines of the university.
		He was accused, as he had been by members of the Oxford Union, of merely imitating other, better poets and criticized for inconsistency and contradicting himself in the volume.
