Question: Edward Frederick Lindley Wood death in 1959 led to the first Oxford Chancellor election to be contested since what year?
Context: Halifax College is the largest college of the University of York.  It was founded in 2001 and is named after Edward Frederick Lindley Wood, the 1st Earl of Halifax. John Harding (died 1610) was an English churchman and academic.  He was Regius Professor of Hebrew at Oxford from 1591 to 1598, and President of Magdalen College, Oxford, from 1607.  He was also involved in the translation of the Authorized King James Version, becoming leader of the First Oxford Company of translators after the death of John Rainolds. Edward Frederick Ertz (born 1 March 1862 in Canfield, Illinois (renamed Edison Park in 1890, now a community area of Chicago).  Died 1954 in Pulborough, England) was an artist and fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.  He was also an etcher and wood engraver. The 1960 University of Oxford election for the position of Chancellor was called upon the death of the incumbent Chancellor, Lord Halifax on 23 December 1959.  It was the first election for Oxford Chancellor to be contested since 1925. The University of Cambridge Chancellor election, 1811 was an election for the post of Chancellor of Cambridge University.  The election was triggered by the death of the previous incumbent, Augustus FitzRoy, 3rd Duke of Grafton, and it was the first contested election for the post since 1748. The first Oxford Dance Symposium at New College, Oxford took place on 21 April 1999 with Dance on the English Stage, and has become an annual, international event which attracts scholars and practitioners from many parts of the world.  Each symposium is designed to explore different aspects of dance, with particular reference to its musical, theatrical, literary and social context in Britain and Europe during the long 18th century; and as such has embraced subjects ranging from the 17th-century Stuart Masque and French ballet de cour to early 19th-century opera and ballet.  There is a particular emphasis on new research or new appraisals of existing sources, and although the symposium issues no Proceedings, some of the papers from several symposia have been published as books of essays or as individual papers in academic journals.  The symposium is organised each year by Michael Burden and Jennifer Thorp. The University of Cambridge Chancellor election, 2011 refers to a rare instance of a contested election for this position of Chancellor that occurred in October 2011, resulting in the choice of Lord Sainsbury of Turville to succeed the retiring incumbent Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.  The Duke had retired on 30 June 2011, shortly after his 90th birthday, having been Chancellor since December 1976.  Three other candidates were nominated to oppose the candidate proposed by the university's Nomination Board; the post was won by Lord Sainsbury with 52% of the vote, with a simple majority required to avoid a runoff.  Contesting the post were actor Brian Blessed, who finished second with 25% of the votes cast, barrister Michael Mansfield, QC with 17%, and local grocery-owner Abdul Arain with 6%.  The election was the first time the Chancellorship had been contested since 1950, and the first actively fought contest since 1847.  Although the election was conducted by the single transferable vote system, no transfers of votes were needed as Sainsbury secured a majority of first preference votes. Frederick Frank Jarvis CBE (born 8 September 1924) is a retired British trade union leader.  He was President of the National Union of Students (NUS) from 1952 to 1954 and General Secretary of the National Union of Teachers (NUT) from 1975 to 1989.  Jarvis served as President of the Trades Union Congress in 1987, the first Oxford graduate to hold that position. Joseph Trapp (1679–1747) was an English clergyman, academic, poet and pamphleteer.  His production as a younger man of occasional verse (some anonymous, or in Latin) and dramas led to his appointment as the first Oxford Professor of Poetry in 1708.  Later his High Church opinions established him in preferment and position.  As a poet he was not well thought of by contemporaries, with Jonathan Swift refusing a dinner in an unavailing attempt to avoid revising one of Trapp’s poems, and Abel Evans making an epigram on his blank verse translation of the Aeneid with a reminder of the commandment against murder. Edward Frederick Lindley Wood, 1st Earl of Halifax, (16 April 1881 – 23 December 1959), styled Lord Irwin from 1925 until 1934 and Viscount Halifax from 1934 until 1944, was one of the most senior British Conservative politicians of the 1930s.  He held several senior ministerial posts during this time, most notably those of Viceroy of India from 1925 to 1931 and of Foreign Secretary between 1938 and 1940.  He is regarded as one of the architects of the policy of appeasement prior to World War II, although after the German occupation of Czechoslovakia in March 1939, he was also one of those who pushed for a new policy of attempting to deter further German aggression by promising to go to war to defend Poland.
