St Antony's College, Oxford, was founded by Antonin Besse and opened its doors in October 1950. Under the inspired leadership of William Deakin, the College became a centre for postgraduate teaching and research in the social sciences. The most deliberately international of all Oxford colleges, it was also the first to admit substantial numbers of women. This book recounts the College's history and describes the changing lifestyle of its students over the last fifty years.

C.S. NICHOLLS was awarded her doctorate by St Antony's College. She was co-editor, then editor of the Dictionary of National Biography 1977-95, producing five volumes, including Missing Persons. She was also editor of the Hutchinson Encyclopaedia of Biography (1996). Her books include The Swahili Coast (1971), Cataract (1985), Power: A Political History of the 20th Century (1990), and David Livingstone (1998).
