NO CASTE AT OXFORD.
Dukes Son and Cooks Son Share
Alike In Sports and Studies.

Actually there is no university or col
lege in America at which distinctions
Of birth or wealth count for less than
they do at oxford. There was once a
time when there existed a class of gen
tlemen commOners"-John Ruskin, /
special privileges and exemptions.
But that popularity has long since
been swept away. Not only are the re-
quirements for graduation identical for
all corners. but the social life within
each college OF the university is open
on equal terms TO every one on the roll.
Dukes son" and cooks son" share
alike in sports and studies, and it is
personal qualities alone that determine
the position an undergraduate holds
among his contemporaries.
The late F. w. Walker. for many
years so successful as high master OF
st. Paul's school, was once interviewed
by the rather snobbish mother of an
intended pupil. "Of course" she said
''you are very particular about the par
ents OF the boys you admit to your
school" Not at all, madam" was his
reply. "As long as your son behaves de-
Gently and attends to his work we shall
not ask any questions about his par
entS"
