ĮPOVERTY AT- OXFORD.
University for the
Whole Nation. Oxford (says Mr. John Buchan in Blackwood) is a university for the whole English nation, and not a preserve of a class. It was only in the last century that the averue of approach toị her was made strait and nar- row. Fre-Reformation Oxford ¦ was chiefly the home of poor men, and great figures like Ro bert Grossetaste and William of Wykeham and Thomas Wolses sprang from the humblest stock.j
The statutes of her colleges i gave the praference to such as, wera "honourable, goodliving, peaceable, humble, and indigent," and right on through the seven- teenth and eighteenth centuries: tha boy from the village could make his way there if he had the will. Ha might be a humble sizar or servitor, but he had his chance, and names like those jof Johnson and Whitefield,] Isaac Newton Bentley, Potron. and Whewell witness that the older universities then offered a career to merit. It is curious in reflect that it was the Liberal re- formers of the nineteenth res tury who closed this dear, by lay- in the emphasis on an lency" which was beyond the reach of the poor. There were; honest men who objected to these changes, as there were honest men who objected to the First Reform Bill on grounds which were neither stupid nor reaction « ary. About the eighties of last century Oxford bad become a middle and upper-class preserv. an extent unknown in her past.

The people of England have hegun to awake to a'sense of! their heritage. Extra-mural touching carried the ideal of Us- ford into the industrial centres. As to how the pone man may best enter upon his inheritance there may be many views, but at! any rate his title has been established. fa this, there is no] revolution: Indeed, there is reaction. a return to an 1 creed which had bern forgotten. Mediaeval Oxford wwed strength to the fact that its roots) struck deep into the life of every parish and township in the land. and the Gefond of the future will; win its power, from the SOUTOR.
