Myers / London / July 1962". In his review of the book in The Journal of Higher Education (March, 1961) Crane Brinton notes that "a fuller title for this book would be 'Education in Arnold Toynbee's Perspective of History'". Following a chapter on 'The Toynbee Background' ("one of the best available brief expositions of Toynbee's ideas" his philosophy of history in a package even smaller than the familiar two-volume condensation by D. C. Somervell) Myers goes on to describe the process of education using a Toynbeean framework. "Mr Myers has boldly tackled a subject that is going to have to be tackled by many more of us in the future. His treatment sets up scores of problems worth investigation. To use a fine old cliche, it opens windows on new worlds." Sir Brynmor Jones (19031989), was born in North Wales and educated at University College of Wales at Bangor and at St John's College, Cambridge. In 1947 he became a professor chair at University College, where he later became Dean of Science, Deputy Principal. When the college achieved full university status in 1954, he became iPro-Vice-Chancellor and, in 1956, Vice-Chancellor. The expanded University of Hull Library, famously presided over by the poet, Philip Larkin, was named after Jones in 1967.
