Baden Powell and Henry Smith
View through CrossRef
The years 1827–83, spanning the professorships of Baden Powell and Henry Smith, marked a period of great change in Oxford University. In the 1820s the University had been mainly a seminary for the Anglican clergy and a finishing school for the gentry. Reforms were introduced gradually, many as a result of Royal Commissions in 1850 and 1877, and by the 1880s Oxford had recognizably become a modern university. Although Powell was more of a scientist than a mathematician, he introduced important innovations that improved the status of mathematics within the University. His successor, Henry Smith, was both a reformer and a mathematician with an international reputation.
