Editing John Ruskin (section)

===Society, education and sport===
Pioneers of [[urban planning|town planning]] such as [[Thomas Coglan Horsfall]] and [[Patrick Geddes]] called Ruskin an inspiration and invoked his ideas in justification of their own social interventions; likewise the founders of the [[garden city movement]], [[Ebenezer Howard]] and [[Raymond Unwin]].<ref>{{cite book|first=Michael H.|last=Lang|title=Designing Utopia: John Ruskin's Urban Vision for Britain and America|publisher=Black Rose Books|year=1999|isbn=1551641313}}{{page needed|date=August 2012}}</ref>

[[Edward Carpenter]]'s community in Millthorpe, Derbyshire was partly inspired by Ruskin, and John Kenworthy's colony at [[Purleigh]], Essex, which was briefly a refuge for the [[Doukhobor]]s, combined Ruskin's ideas and Tolstoy's.

The most prolific collector of Ruskiniana was [[John Howard Whitehouse]], who saved Ruskin's home, [[Brantwood]], and opened it as a permanent Ruskin memorial. Inspired by Ruskin's educational ideals, Whitehouse established [[Bembridge School]], on the [[Isle of Wight]], and ran it along Ruskinian lines. Educationists from William Jolly to [[Michael Ernest Sadler]] wrote about and appreciated Ruskin's ideas.<ref>For a full discussion of Ruskin and education, see Sara Atwood, ''Ruskin's Educational Ideals'' (Ashgate, 2011).</ref> [[Ruskin College]], an educational establishment in Oxford originally intended for working men, was named after him by its American founders, Walter Vrooman and [[Charles A. Beard]].

Ruskin's innovative publishing experiment, conducted by his one-time [[Working Men's College]] pupil [[George Allen (publisher)|George Allen]], whose business was eventually merged to become [[Allen & Unwin]], anticipated the establishment of the [[Net Book Agreement]].

Ruskin's Drawing Collection, a collection of 1470 works of art he gathered as learning aids for the [[Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art]] (which he founded at Oxford), is at the [[Ashmolean Museum]]. The Museum has promoted Ruskin's art teaching, utilising the collection for in-person and online drawing courses.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ruskin.ashmolean.org/collection/8994/ |title=The Elements of Drawing |access-date=4 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170914235852/http://ruskin.ashmolean.org/collection/8994 |archive-date=14 September 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

[[Pierre de Coubertin]], the innovator of the modern [[Olympic Games]], cited Ruskin's principles of beautification, asserting that the games should be "Ruskinised" to create an aesthetic identity that transcended mere championship competitions.<ref>[[Arnd Krüger]], "'The masses are much more sensitive to the perfection of the whole than to any separate details': The Influence of John Ruskin's Political Economy on Pierre de Coubertin", in [https://www.uwo.ca/olympic/files/pdf/olympika/tocs/olympika-05-1996-toc.pdf ''Olympika'', 1996 Vol. V] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200817052210/https://www.uwo.ca/olympic/files/pdf/olympika/tocs/olympika-05-1996-toc.pdf |date=17 August 2020 }}, pp. 25–44; Arnd Krüger, "Coubertin's Ruskianism", in: R.
