Long Leases of Low Rent
Big Burden to Oxford

oxford. Jan. ga. l.. by MaiD-
The total income of the university
and colleges of oxford during the
past year was trifle more than So
100000. OF this, the larger part is
college income. Magdalen, the rich
est college, has an annual income of
moro than $500,00O Hartford, the
poorest, has only $4,000.
In general, the college incomes are
small as compared with their capital.
Nearly all are large holders of lands
which were let one or two centuries
ago on enormously long leases at
rents which are now rld1culOuSly
small-often only two or three dollars
per year for "A large farm. They are
also large holders of church titheS
and livings of country parishes,
which have also greatly deprecated in
value.
Queens College is the most fortu-
nate of the landholding colleges, as
the great docks at Southampton are
built on it's property. Balliol still
suffers from the mismanaSement of
it's investments in Elizabeth's time,
and Wadham is poor because its
money is largely invested in shares
in ancient canals.
The great differences in wealth or
the various colleges is the chief cause
of the differences in their fees and
expenses. The college expenses in
Balliol or Worcester are almost
twice as high as in Queens or Cor
pus Christi AS these differences are
not set ont in any notices or cata-
logue, many American Rhodes schol-
ars have unwittingly chosen the most
expensive colleges.
Unlike the American universities,
Oxford receives very little in volun-
tary gifts and donations. During the
past year donations amounted to less
than $4,000. Drives, endowment
campaigns and the perennial solici-
tation of prosperous alumni are I'M
known.
The colleges annually contribute
about $3.50, 600 to the university An
other quarter of q million is contrib
uted by the government in general
and special grants. The largest
source of university revenue is eX-
animation fees. which amount to
about half a million dollars yearly.
The examination in Holy Scripture,
called Divinity Moderations or, more
shortly. DIVERS, is one of the most
profitable. All members of the uni
versity are required to take 1t at a
cost of SIS during their first term and
to continue taking it at a like cost
Tor each succeeding term until they
pass it. The university administra-
ton costs are extremely low-about
SOS. 900 a year. The largest items OF
annual expense are the more than
half a million dollars paid to teach
ers, and the $350,000 spent by the col
lege on teaching and research. the
university police costs about S10,OO0
annually, but the fines they collect
from errant and erring students
make them a profitable institution.
