He unbent one afternoon and chatted
with two or three men for a half-hour
and seemed TO enjoy it, then the doctor
called him away and he went to his room
again. His talk was largely reminiscent
and the few opinions he expressed were
positively populistic One thing he thor

United States in 1900. "And when he Is"

Oxford, in the eyes of some robust ICON
oclasts, is "the home of lost causes" the
place of refuge where abandoned and out
worn creeds find decent burial under the
shadow of Wondering walls. To others she
is the nursery of young barbarians at
play, who spend there few years of joy
ful, racketty existence. Those who take
the latter view are doubd ess strengthened
in their opinion when they hear the under
graduate indulsing in the strange jargon
which may briefly be described as oxford
slang. To the pathological purist a word is
sacred thing. 1t is, so to speak, a Jewel
which has been cut and polished by attri-
ton throughout the ages. 1t is not TO be
rashly altered or roughly pulled about
But the average undergraduate is no phil
ologicaf pedant What is the good of his
living In the midst of learning, surrounded
on every side by an illimitable ocean of
words, ancient and modern, dead and
alive, If he cannot coin a few on his own
initiative, and utter them without the
reproach of being called a literary
'smasher?" Some of them indeed he may
justly boast have passed into current coin
and been accepted in the great world al
large.

excellent example of Oxford minting
