Blues Less Of Heroes,
I think something of the sort may be said of Oxford and Cambridge. Modern Oxford is less interested in athletics than it was or than Cambridge is. Its post-war young dons have turned their attention to politics, psychology, Socialism, esthetics and artistic creation. Consequently a rowing, cricket, football or running Blue is longer such a hero in the eyes of his contemporaries.
