Editing Brasenose College, Oxford (section)

===Early twentieth century===
Brasenose lost 115 men in the [[First World War]] (including a quarter of the 1913 year), with its undergraduate numbers greatly reduced.<ref>Crook (2008). pp.&nbsp;321–322.</ref>

[[Lord Curzon]]'s post-War reforms were successfully instituted. The inter-war period was defined by [[William Stallybrass]], who as fellow and eventual principal (until 1948) dominated college life.<ref>Crook (2008). pp.&nbsp;324–326.</ref> Brasenose once again produced top sportsmen – cricketers, rowers, and others.<ref>Crook (2008). pp.&nbsp;348–349.</ref> This came at the cost of falling academic standards and poorly performing finances, which would see Stallybrass' authority challenged. He died in a railway accident before he could be forced out, however.<ref>Crook (2008). pp.&nbsp;359–383.</ref>

After the war, sporting achievements waned (although there were notable exceptions) but academic success did not improve significantly, in what was now one of Oxford's largest colleges.<ref>Crook (2008). pp.&nbsp;396–402.</ref>
