A guided tour through key architectural and design philosophies underpinning this marvellous building. Henry Acland, Regius Professor of Medicine, played a key role in the building of Oxford’s new science museum in the 1850s. In this essay, he describes expectations for the building - its construction was nearing completion as he wrote. He also discusses its famous connection to the “Gothic style”. (info)

Famous Joke in Science
Eoörnis pterovelox gobiensis
by Augustus C. Fortheringham
Written in the 1920s by Augustus
C. Fotheringham, a pseudonym for Lester Sharp and Cuthbert Bancroft
Fraser, this monograph has circulated far and wide. For years, it
has moved quietly through scientist circles, handed down with a
wink and a nod. If nothing else, Eoörnis shows the
passion and dedication scientists have for their subject. (link)
