FAMOUS COLLEGES.
Leaving Christ Church visited many
OF the other colleges. Each has Its stu
dents who have made names IN English
literature In finance and in other ways.
AT Magdalen, Addison went 10 school
and the beautiful two-mile walk about
the recreation grounds behind 1t Is
known as Additions Walk
In Pembroke college you may see the
room which Samuel Johnson occupied
and the desk on which he wrote his
dictionary. AT New college, founded In
1879, sydney Smith was educated, and
in Bailol Cardinal Manning, Dean
Stanley and Mathew Arnold studied.
Oreil college Is especially interesting
Just now because II was the one which
Cecil Rhodes attended, and TO which
he has just given $500, 900 for improve

add. This seems an absolute jest In
the mouth OF the American who too
frequently adopts the Horauan motto
