High Tea

The Idea of a University: John Henry Newman

This tradition has its origins in England during the 18th and 19th centuries.  In the 18th century, the working class would have a substantial meal in the evening after finishing work, and this meal became known as “high tea” because it was eaten at a high, dinner table. It typically included hearty dishes such as meat pies, cold cuts, and other substantial fare.

On the other hand, the upper classes would have a lighter afternoon tea, usually served on low tables. This afternoon tea included finger sandwiches, scones, pastries, and, of course, tea. This more delicate tea was later referred to as “low tea” or “afternoon tea.”

Over time, the distinction between high tea and afternoon tea blurred, and today the term “high tea” is often misused to describe an elegant afternoon tea. However, the original high tea was a working-class meal, while afternoon tea was a more refined social event among the upper classes.

“Western Kansas” 1875 Albert Bierstadt

We continue roll out of our collaboration platform for “code writers and vote-getters” begun at the University of Michigan in 1993.  We are now drilling down into state and local adaptations of nationally developed codes and standards that are incorporated by reference into public safety and sustainability legislation.

Standards Michigan remains the “free” home site but state-specific sites such as Standards Kansas will be accessible to user-interest code-writers and vote-getters.   Please send bella@standardsmichigan.com a request to join one of our mailing lists appropriate to your interest for #SmartCampus standards action in the State of Kansas.
