Anyone could have told them beforehand that the mere removal of the ivy would not brighten up Oxford, un- Jess at the same time one cleared the stone of the uld inscriptions, put in steel fire-escapes, and in fact brought the boarding houses up to date."
On the strength of fhis basis of experi; ence 1 am prepared to make the follow ing-positive and emphatic statements. It has a great past; it is at present the greatest I'niversity in the world: and is quite possible that it has a serraz fassen, | Oxford Truins scholars of the real type
better than any other place in the world.. Its methods are antiquated. It despises science. Ita lectures are rotten, It has professors whu never teach and students who never learn. It has no "ärder, no Arrangement, "no system. Its curriculum is unintelligible. It has no President, It has no state legislature to tell you how to teach. And yei-it gets there. Whe- ther we like it or not, Oxford gives some thing to its students, a life and a mode of thought, which in America as yet we can emulate but not equal. If anyone doubts this, let him go and take a room at the Mitre Hotel (teu and six for a wainscotted bed-room, period of Charles 1.), and study the place for himself.
These singular results achieved at Oxford are all the more surprising when ono considers the distressing conditions under which the students work. The lack of an adequate building fui compels them to go on working in th same old buildings which they had for centuries. The buildings at Wadham College have not been renewed since the year 1605. In Merton and Magdalen the students are still housed in the old buildings erected But Henry VII. being dead, nothing in the Fourteenth Century. At Christ was done. Yet in spite of its dilapidated Church College I was shown a kitchen buildings and it's lack of re-escapes, which has been built at the expense of ventilation, sanitation, and up-to-date Cardinal Wolsley in 1525.
