- XFORD has been much written
of since Cecil Rhodes made
his bequest and the flower OF
W Americas young men have
been sent there as Rhodes
scholars" Yet perhaps few glimpses
of old Oxford as seen by an outsider
may be of interest.
There are a thousand things In Ok
ford to attract the visitor. There are
the strange old buildings and the
strange old town. There are strange
old customs and strange old places.
There is charm in the ivy-clad col
lege walls, the memories of great men
and events which cluster here. the ira
ditions and customs so carefully guard.
ed and preserved, the high ideals
which permeate the atmosphere.
So as the visitor to this quaint old
college town wanders about the
streets and into the various old build
ings, and notes the life here repre-
scented, he gains more idea OF why Eng
land is the great country she is, than

in other places. For the two great
universities of England represent what
is best of English thought and culture,
and old Oxford, the home of conserya-
tism. has ever been the huge balance
wheel of English life" The very air
of Oxford proclaims this fact. Gus.
toms old and foolish are observed. yet
shall we criticize?
Old Toms Stroke.
When first | heard Old Tom (the
bell in the Christ church tower strike
its hundred and one strokes, inquired
and found that this was a nightly oc-
currence, that shortly after nine, its
time of striking, each college gate was
closed and no one was allowed to go
out from his college after that time.

ing to the lateness of the hour.
After nine o'clock no undergraduate
is supposed to be out without wearing
his cap and gown. The undergraduates
consider it bad form to appear at night

not adopt the ways of our own Ameri.
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 staff of dons 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, and preceded by two beadles in
medieval costume. 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 a 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 800 undergrad
yates. 1t was founded by Cardinal
Wolsey, whose cap appears at the top
of all college stationery. Its dining
room takes us back to the time of
Charles |. and his parliament Its rep
utation, merited no doubt, is that Of
being the most artistocratic of all the
colleges. It's famous Broad Walk is
very beautiful. Gladstone, Wesley, Rus
kin and Reel are famous names of
which Christ church boasts. Each of
the colleges has a quadrangle, and
some have two Christ church has
the Great Tom Quad" and the Little
Quad"
