you know, Oxford deviates very lit
tie from the straight line of what was
done yesterday must be done today
less than most any place in Europe,
! think.
| was thinking today how peculiar
some of the customs are. There are
three of US on my floor here with
doors opening INTO The same Aall way.
One of them, G,.tcheil, from Canada,
is one of my best friends and don't
even know who the other fellow Is.
| have mentioned the clothes they
wear here but you might be interest
ed in a little further details about
them. AS I've SAID, nearly all the
undergrads las the students are call
edO wear bags-these loose hitting
coats and pants or knlckerbocker
golf suit affairs with wooden stock
ings.
The most intellectual don or prin-
cipal m gnt be taken for manual Ia
borer. A shabby hat, an old worn out
coat and a pair of very baggy troua-
ers represent a don while mere at
oxford, No one cares what he wears
here but the scouts and porters. But
YOU should see these fellows when
thew get away-canes, gloves, pug
hats dinner Jackets, etc. And they
never forget they are oxford men
and after considering that Tor over
100 years there has not been CAD
met formed in parliament without an
Oxford man, l suppose they nave
And along that line. They really
watch men In college here, and Wnen
thew GRADUATE they have things
thrown open to them. The famous de-
batting society-Ihe UnIon--is watch
ed by every political party for prom
ising men, and when a man leaves
Oxford a party adopts him and Sc
lects him perhaps from part OF Eng
: land he never seen and the door
of opportunity is open.
An English don from Christ church
college spoke to the American club
last night and it really is surprising
now htLe they know or what we truly
are. I'm sure we know more about
England as whole than they know
about our country.
That reminds me, do wish the
United States would stop the Anglo
American war threats, etc.
All the boys are talking of the va"
cations they nave just nnlshed and
/ don't believe there's place with
in a thousand miles that some OF
these Americans haven't visited with
in the last few months. l was talk
ing to boy last night whom l knew
had had some very interesting expert
ences in the Balkans, Germany, and
etc. He said that if any one makes
a bluff of being some important per-
sonage to the officials in these coun-
tries troubled with revolutions and
wars, he can do anything he wishes.
He went through thirteen countries
without paying a cent for having his
passports vised, the usual cost of
which is about $500. He says he
only paid u few railroad fares, too,
and went to places that most people
are not allowed to go. Did it all on
a bluff. Said he would just tell
the officials that he was some kind
of diplomat investigating threat
ened revolution and then point to his
American eagle and through he
would go. Each man has his inter
esting experience to tell of his va
cation.
Speaking of vacations reminds me
that l don't belive have written
you of the last places We visited on
our vacation last month.
We stopped for day or two at
Nice. 1t was a splendid city and a
very fashionable resort. The aristo-
Gratis of France spend large part of
their time there. 1t is in the middle
of the Riviera as that part of the
Mediterranean coast is called on ac-
