more interesting tidbits
Consider which claims to provide a source for the establishment of Said Business School (or at least, calling it by that name) as of 1996, using the url (closest obtainable from Wayback archive) at http://web.archive.org/web/20080411014607/http://www.ox.ac.uk/about_the_university/introducing_oxford/a_brief_history_of_the_university/index.html. Unfortunately, that "history" is almost entirely about the pre-20th century history of Oxford, and the tiny little bit for the 20th and 21st centuries have no mention of Said Business School nor any of its predecessors.

December 2023 update
I have come back to this page after about 3 1/2 years, without much of a resolution. The apparent replacement for the "brief history of the university" page I was looking for is simply History (note that there are actually some links on the website labeled "brief history of the university" which presumably went to the old "history" page and now go to this one ... though in other places, the "brief history" links may point to a different "history" page).

The new "History" page has some revisions, but nothing about Said Business School, which is what I had been looking for. OTOH, it gives the appearance of trying to "hype" the reader; the older "Brief History of the University" page instilled a greater sense of trust. Fabrickator (talk) 05:48, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
