Of old Oxford as seen by an outsider
may be OF interest.
There are a thousand things in OK

the strange old buildings and the

Studylnp the Game.

On q certain southern golf course
the sand pits are famous for their DIFF
ficulty. A New York man played into
one Of the pits, and then cursed none
the less malevolently, II silently,
while he took six Intellectual strokes
raising only clouds Of sand and fairly
burying the ball. Presently he was
aware Of an interested and incredu-
Ious darby watching him.
"Whar you see dat snake you's try
in to kill, man" he demanded.

proctors walk the streets looking for
students uncapped or ungowned. He
who is caught will have to appear next
morning and pay five shillings ($1.25t

graduate cannot be "pFogged" unless

The freshmen, instead OF being
wined and dined as in this country,
are breakfasted, The breakfasts are
so recognized by college authorities
that lectures do not begin until ten
o'clock.
Tea is also a meal Of social attrac-
tons. and "over the teacups" are dis.
cussed the events Of college life. For
social life is a thing encouraged by
Oxford. During terms man gets
much social life and during vacation
he is expected to do much studying.
Three terms of only eight weeks
each compose the college year. Hard
work, however. must be done by the
student during vacation, for Oxford
above all demands results, and the ex-
aminations are about the ''stihfest"
known. Yet IT. makes little difference
to the authorities where or when the
OF the student is obtained.
The instruction is a combination Of
tutor and lectures. Each student has
his tutor to whom he reports and who
watches his progress. He is not re-
uuired to attend lectures, but pleases

not adopt the ways Of our own Amert
can colleges? Pause and consider;
can we show better results than they?
Some one has said: The college
teaches and the university examines"
which is true. as In few things do the
men Of the different colleges come TO-
gether except In examinations. Each
college has its own stan Of dops and
tutors professors we should call
them.) An Undergraduate may attend
lectures in any college. But the same
lot Of examiners serves for all. Thus
the examinations are impersonal.
There are few more customs which
give most clearly the atmosphere OF
Oxford. The vice-chancellor still goes
to official meetings clad in his scarlet
robes, arr preceded by two beadles in
medieval .ostume. One head master
still writes his letters in Latin to those
he knows can read them. Each night
the student must sleep in his own
room, and as a proof his scout" must
take loaf Of bread from the kitchen
each morning. The man who fails in
this is apt to be suspended.
Enough. however. Of methods and
customs in general. The various col.
leges attract the visitor. Christ church,
one OF the best known and largest OF
the colleges, has about 300 undergrad
