 An English writer who has inter viewed the most of the American stu dents is highly impressed by them and believes that the plan of MT. Rhodes will result in good both for those so fortunate as to secure scholarships and also to English university life. In the course of a long article on the subject he says:
 What is most distasteful to 9 ma jority of the American students is the traditional discipline of the colleges. The average age of the contingent is twenty they are. with few ex- ceptions. tall, broad shouldered men; and while trey are entering Oxford at a time of life when seniors are receiv- ing their diplomas at Harvard, Yale. Princeton, Brown, Columbia and Cor nell, they are treated here as inexper- fenced boys, work with tutors at their. elbows, are subjected to watchful sur veilIance and are fined and disciplined if they are outside the gates after hours. Some of them have been vale dictorians at American colleges, like the energetic MT. Nixon. who is now at Balliol after a successful career at Wesleyan; some of them have been teachers, like MT. Werner, of South Carolina. who is at Christ Church, and at least one, MT. Scholz, has been a college lecturer and is fitting himself at Worcester for an important chair in the University of Wisconsin.
 
 order the restraining influences of pa ternal government must be irl1some. Some of them say that they dislike the restrictions on their liberty, but<there is no evidence that they are seriously irritated or annoyed. They are quick to catch the humor of the thing and to describe the colleges as kindergartens Tor adults, or as academic nurseries with awkward tutors and ugly proc tors in place of governesses and nurse maids
 'The majority are amused, and in a tolerant spirit accommodate them selves to their new environment. One of the commcnest phrases among them is playing the game They plume themselves on their skill in adapting themselves to new conditions and put ting up with restrictions which they COISlCeF unnecessary ana beneath their dignity. There is something af- ter all in the American virtue of fex- ibility and accommodation. Whether 1t is in the ethics of Aristotle, on which the classical purists lay so much stress, may be doubted; but it is ir the American blood
 'The English tourist, when he travels abroad, may exhaust his ener- eies in condemning with fine irony or coarse profanity everything unusual. from the serving of an egg or the cooking of a beefsteak to a making of 2. bed or the ordering of q bill The American traveller enjoys the sense of being in a foreign country and adapts himself with easy grace to whatever is different from his own experience. III 2. similar spirit these American col lege men consider paternal rule as a part of their foreign education and as 9. striking proof of English conservat- ism. They accept it as a characteristic feature of the Oxford game, which they are learning to play, and get out of it as much fun as they can find.
 "One trembles when he tries to think of the results if American millionaires, weary of founding libraries and build ing art museums, should initiate Mr Rhodes philanthropy and establish a system of scholarships at Harvard or Yale for the benefit of the British youth. Would there be the same spirit of accommodation ?''
