‘Mines of Gold on Parnassus'? The Value of a University.
(2006)
O'Brien, Maeve
‘Mines of Gold on Parnassus'? The Value of a University.
(2006)
O'Brien, Maeve
Abstract:
When the ‘idea of science, method, order, principle and system; of rule and exception, of richness and harmony’ came to the highly trained intellect of the ‘patron saint’ of Irish universities, he was discoursing on the idea of a university in 1852.* John Henry Newman held that the training of the intellect for its own sake was the purpose of a university education. Today this might seem a little high-minded, outdated and even misguided. But we, as part of the university community of today, still owe it to ourselves, and so to society, to scrutinise constantly not only our own lecturing and research, but also to look to the wider purpose o f what we are trying to achieve as a university. For that purpose a well-trained intellect—trained in knowledge, method and order—is still as important today as it was a century and a half ago.

Architectural Plans and Drawings
(1995)
Seymour, Valerie
Abstract:
In this essay I propose to discuss some of the architectural plans and drawings in the library collections and their relation to existing buildings. These drawings are the work of architects Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812-52) and James Joseph McCarthy (1817-82) in the main, and illustrate the mid-nineteenth- century building programme at Maynooth. Pugin's influential writings on architecture, ornament and all matters Gothic, which are well represented in the collections, will also be discussed.

Cultivating Campus Citizens, the Economy and Technology: On the New Alchemy in Higher Education.
(2006)
Harpur, John
Abstract:
Writing philosophically about the purposes and values of higher education is a delicate process and problematic to boot. No amount of admiration can conceal the present funding concerns of higher education institutions. Some facts of the matter require acknowledgment, though more in the interests of common sense than peace of mind. Throughout the developed world higher education funding is under increasing scrutiny. Administrations have responded by examining models of reform and transformation to preserve their institutions. These models are giving rise to a ‘change agenda’ promoting greater efficiency (reform) and novel configurations of disciplines (transform). Changes across the sector are deconstructing ancient academic divisions. There is uncertainty about what will be different in the aftermath of change. Merely arguing against change, in the expectation that it will be convincingly deflected, is a Sisyphean task. The range of interests with attachments to the sector makes pu...

Entrepreneurship and Knowledge Integration are Part of a Liberal Education for the Knowledge Society.

Entrepreneurship and Knowledge Integration are Part of a Liberal Education for the Knowledge Society.
(2006)
Devitt, Frank
Abstract:
Since the first half of the nineteenth century there has been a growing divergence within universities between the studies of the liberal arts and those of the natural sciences, technology and engineering. This has arisen because of the rapid developments in these latter areas and their perceived need for specialisation and presumed lesser importance of liberal arts subjects. In this context the term liberal is generally understood to mean freedom to range over a broad range of knowledge, without being constrained to serve any particular application area, or even purpose.

Irish Universities in the Knowledge Society: Society's Sentinels and the Citizen's vade mecum.
(2006)
Downes, Martin
Abstract:
This is not an attempt to explore what the proper core role of universities should be through the insights o f educators and of the great liberal traditions to which many subscribe, precious and excellent though they may be. Instead, this is an attempt to explore the essential requirements o f society from universities, requirements that are necessarily implicit in the currently conventional vision of our future as a technically and economically advanced economy in an even more rapidly changing world, the Knowledge Society. If these two approaches tend to converge in their findings then we must think that the role of universities is made so much the clearer.

Keeping the Faith: The Transformative Autonomy of Literature and the Uniqueness of Literary Discourse.
(2006)
Cosgrove, Brian
Abstract:
In 1999 there appeared in The New York Review o f Books a review by Andrew Delbanco of some seven studies (all but one of them published in the period 1997-99) which included Alvin Keman’s The Death o f Literature and Robert Scholes’s The Rise and Fall o f English. On the basis of such titles Delbanco’s piece appeared under the heading, ‘The Decline and Fall of Literature’.1 While some years have elapsed since the appearance of the review, and while some of the points made have more relevance to North American than Irish universities, the arguments put forward are still worth revisiting, if only to provide a starting-point for what is, in its very nature, an ongoing debate.

Maynooth - towards a community profile 1750-1911
(2001)
Durack, Susan
Abstract:
The thesis is about communities in Maynooth from the mid-eighteenth-century to the early twentieth-century. It looks at the worker within the community and focuses on three areas of the town - Carton demesne, Maynooth town itself and the seminary of St. Patrick’s College Maynooth. Employer-employee relationships, job descriptions, status, wage levels, length of service, gender ratios, recruitment and mobility are explored particularly in relation to the servants and workers of Carton demesne and those of St. Patrick’s College. A profile o f Maynooth town emerges through an examination of its population, housing, property ownership and economic and social activity. Change over time and the nature and level of interaction between three employment loci is explored. Certain groups or ‘communities of interest’ emerge, some of which operate on separate levels to others. They are the servants of Carton demesne and those of St. Patrick’s College who are not of the locality and who are bound...

Maynooth Development Plan exercise
(1992)
Waddington, Shelagh B.
Abstract:
The following field exercise is designed for use with Leaving Certificate students. It is based on Maynooth, Co. Kildare, a town of approximately 5,000 inhabitants plus a large third level student population attending St. Patrick's College. The town has grown rapidly over the past sevetal years, becoming increasingly a dormitory settlement for Dublin. The exercise outlined here need not be carried out in Maynooth, as it may be readily adapted for use in any town or city area for which County Development Plan information is available. The exercise was "roadtested" byagroup of AGTI members on 16th May 1992, and I gratefully acknowledge their helpful comments on that occasion.

Maynooth Musicology: Postgraduate Journal
(2008)
Dignam, Barbara; Higgins, Paul; Parker, Lisa
Abstract:
The aim of the Maynooth Musicology: Postgraduate Journal is twofold: it compiles a selection of articles written by postgraduate students in our department each year. It also affords up to three of our postgraduate students the valuable experience of editing their first journal, drawing on our joint professional work. This volume contains thirteen essays by postgraduate students reflecting current areas of specialism in the music department. Irish musical studies are addressed in articles by Adèle Commins, Jennifer O’Connor and Lisa Parker; Schubert studies are represented by Adam Cullen; nineteenth- and twentieth-century song studies are represented by Paul Higgins, Aisling Kenny and Meng Ren and Late European Romanticism by Jennifer Lee and Emer Nestor. Gender is addressed by Jennifer Halton and essays within the area of electro-acoustic music and music technology are contributed by Brian Bridges, Brian Carty and Barbara Dignam.

Maynooth Musicology: Postgraduate Journal
(2009)
Carthy, Brian; O'Connell, Pat; Strahan, Barbara
Abstract:
The second issue of Maynooth Musicology Postgraduate Journal will be a memorable one for the student editors, and for me too as founder and general editor. Many of the young musicologists who have written these essays will embark on new journeys, leaving our department with MLitts. or PhDs, some bringing their experience at Maynooth to bear on studies further afield. It is to the students of this volume and to musicology students in general that this preface is directed, for what matters on such occasions is not so much the educational givens of your background but the state of readiness of your own spirit. In fact, the ability to start out upon your own impulse is fundamental to the gift of keeping going on your own terms, not to mention the further and more fulfilling gift of getting going all over again -never resting upon the oars of success or in the doldrums of disappointment, but getting renewed and revived by some further transformation.

THE BIBLE IN MAYNOOTH
(1995)
Seymour, Valerie
Abstract:
The story of the Bible in Maynooth mirrors the separate yet parallel development of the translation, publishing and dissemination of the Scriptures by the two main Christian denominations in the post-Reformation period. Before the middle of the fifteenth century manuscript bibles were for the exclusive use of the clergy and nobility. The Latin Vulgate version reigned supreme, well under Church control. Some hundred editions of the Vulgate were printed by the end of the fifteenth century. Many vernacular versions emerged in Europe from the mid-1450s onward. There were over 75 versions of Scripture in German,French, Dutch, Italian and Spanish before 1540. In the same period some 50 English versions were printed.2 The emergence of these vernacular versions in European languages represents another strand in bible production. For a short period there were many versions of the Vulgate and increasing numbers in the vernacular being produced simultaneously. The bible collections in Maynooth...

Abstract:
Take a sheet of paper, demy, pot or royal, with eight pages printed on each side; fold it once, twice and a third time; stabstitch along the back fold to hold it together-and you have a pamphlet, in its simplest form. A slightly longer text, and an extra half-sheet, or a second and third, folded to match, can be incorporated. The title-page must serve as cover for there is no binding. It is left to the title to bait the reader.

The Price of Education.
(2006)
Cleary, John J
Abstract:
The rapid changes within the Irish economy over the last two decades have naturally given rise to a debate about the role of universities in Ireland, specifically with regard to their function in promoting economic growth. I think that faculty members should not feel threatened by this debate because an open-ended discussion about the aims and functions of a university in society is not only a healthy sign of academic freedom but is also constitutive of the tradition of universities since their founding in the high middle ages. For instance, while the university of Paris grew out of a cathedral school, the university of Naples was expected to provide functionaries for the kingdom founded by Frederick Barbarossa. Thus there is nothing new about society making practical demands on its universities, such as the provision of well trained professionals. What is new, however, is the conflicting demands being made by the Irish government which expects that universities should serve as engi...

The religious mind of Maynooth's Gaelic manuscripts
(1995)
Ó Dúshláine, Tadhg
Abstract:
By a happy coincidence the byline for Maynooth College's bicentenary celebrations, 'for faith and fatherland', is a precise description of that last great flowering of native spirituality during the Baroque Age (1600-1700). James Fitzmaurice Fitzgerald, leader of the 1579 rebellion, insisted that 'zeal for God's honour and their own country' was the rebels' prime motivation, just as Hugh O'Neill declared in 1615 that all his acts of defiance against the crown were 'in defence of the Catholic faith and of his fatherland'. From the defeat at Kinsale in 1601 to the Famine of1847-8, the old Gaelic order suffered political, military, social and economic disaster. Paradoxically, and perhaps consequentially, no other period produced such a volume of native poetry and prose, of such literary and intellectual merit. The native bardic tradition, isolated for the most part from the mainstream of the medieval Continental tradition by the conserv...

The Role of Philosophy in the University.
(2006)
Kelly, Thomas A.F.
Abstract:
Iris Murdoch once remarked that, ‘to do philosophy is to explore one’s own temperament, and yet at the same time to attempt to discover the truth’.1 Elsewhere, Murdoch talks about a necessary tension within the discipline: It is sometimes said, either irritably or with a certain satisfaction, that philosophy makes no progress. It is certainly true, and I think this is an abiding and not a regrettable characteristic of the discipline, that philosophy has in a sense to keep trying to return to the beginning: a thing which it is not at all easy to do. There is a two-way movement in philosophy, a movement towards the building of elaborate theories, and a move back again towards the consideration of simple and obvious facts. McTaggart says that time is unreal, Moore replies that he has just had his breakfast. Both these aspects of philosophy are necessary to it.2 To explore one’s own temperament and to try to discover the truth; to keep in mind the simple and the obvious and to construct...

The Undergraduate as an Engaged Explorer.
(2006)
Boyle, Gerry; Bradley, Finbarr
Abstract:
Most undergraduates leave Irish universities short-changed, never having been exposed to the research process or the riches of the research endeavour. It is a tragedy that lessons and insights derived from research-based inquiry conducted by faculty and postgraduate researchers are often not shared with them. Universities are correct when they say research is the cornerstone of competitiveness in the knowledge society. Yet, the academic enterprise fails to imbue a passion, or indeed even an appetite, for exploration in most young people during these formative years. Students must wait until they conduct postgraduate research to enter the exciting world of discovery. This is too long a time to wait.

Why Bother with Languages?
(2006)

Abstract:
Globalization has been described as the expansion of Western values to a world scale. The planet is now seen in its totality, whether through political and military surveillance, through observation of geological and climatic change, or through massive increase in human trade, communication and travel. One o f the features of globalization is the enlargement of economic zones without this necessarily bringing about the disappearance of borderlands and grey areas. Another feature is the uneven linking of different parts of the world through new forms of communication. The interconnectedness of peoples is often imposed by outside events over which they have little control. Finally, globalization has involved a reappraisal of old antagonisms (religious, ideological or nationalistic).
