Editing Samuel Barnett (reformer) (section)

==University settlements==

In 1884 an article by Henrietta Barnett in ''Nineteenth Century'' discussed the question of [[Settlement movement|university settlements]] – places where richer students could live alongside, learn about and contribute to the welfare of much poorer people – in Barnett's words: 'to learn as much as to teach; to receive as much to give'. This resulted in the formation of the [[University Settlements Association]]. Toynbee Hall, named after the recently deceased historian [[Arnold Toynbee (historian, born 1852)|Arnold Toynbee]], was built shortly afterwards, and Barnett became its first Warden.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Settlement Houses|date=September 2016 |url=http://stories-of-london.org/settlement-houses/|publisher=Stories of London|access-date=13 September 2016}}</ref> In 1888 American reformer [[Jane Addams]] visited the settlement, and was inspired to create similar facilities in the United States—the first [[Hull House]] opening in [[Chicago]] a year later.<ref name=socialwelfareproject/>

Barnett was a select preacher at [[Oxford]] (1895–97), and at [[Cambridge]] in 1900. In 1893 he received a canonry in [[Bristol Cathedral]], but retained his wardenship of Toynbee Hall, while relinquishing the living of St. Jude's. In June 1906 he was given a canonry at [[Westminster Abbey|Westminster]], and when in December he resigned the wardenship of Toynbee Hall the position of president was created so that he might retain his home there.<ref name=socialwelfareproject>{{cite web|title=Barnett, Samuel A.|date=30 October 2013 |url=http://socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/people/barnett-samuel/|publisher=Social Welfare History Project|access-date=13 September 2016}}</ref>
