YARNELL, XFORD has been much written of since Cecil Rhodes made his bequest and the flower of America's young men have been sent there as “Rhodes scholars.” Yet perhaps a few glimpses of old Oxford as seen by an outsider may be of interest. There are a thousand things in Ox- ford to attract the visitor. There are , the strange old buildings and the strange old town. There are strange ! | | aot adopt the ways of our'own Ameri- | can colleges? Pause and consider; can we show better results than they? Some one has said: “The college teaches and the university examines,” | which is true, as in few things do the men of the different colleges come to- | gether except in examinations. Each college has its own staff of dons and tutors (professors we should call them.) An undergraduate may attend lectures in any college. But the same old customs and strange old places. | lot of examiners serves for all. Thus There is a charm in the ivy-clad col- | the examinations are impersonal. lege walls, the memories of great men There are a few more customs which and events which cluster here, the tra- | give most clearly the atmosphere of ! Oxford. The vice-chancellor still goes ditions and customs so carefully guard- ed and preserved, the high ideals which permeate the atmosphere. So as the visitor to this quaint old college town wanders about the streets and into the various old build- ings, and notes the life here repre- sented, he gains more idea of why Eng- land is the great country she is, than he could gain from much observation in other places. For the two great universities of England represent what is best of English thought and culture, and old Oxford, the home of conserva- tism, “has ever been the huge balance wheel of English life.” The very air of Oxford proclaims this fact. Cus- toms old and foolish are observed, yct shall we criticize? Old Tom's Stroke. When first I heard Old Tom (the bell in the Christ church tower) strike its hundred and one strokes, I inquired and found that this was a nightly oc- currence, that shortly after nine, its time of striking, each college gate was closed and no one was allowed to go out from his college after that time. Students may come in later by pay- ment of a small fee, increasing accord- ing to the lateness of the hour, After nine o’clock no undergraduate is supposed to be out without wearing his cap and gown. The undergraduates consider it bad form to appear at night ’ in cap and gown. So each night the proctors walk the streets looking for students uncapped or ungowned. He who is caught will have to appear next morning and pay five shillings ($1.25) to the university chest. But the under graduate cannot be “progged” unless the proctor is in official garb and ac- companied by a “bulldog” (a man fleet of foot) who is supposed to be able to catch the student if he attempts flight. The “bulldog” must wear a derby hat. The freshmen, instead of being wined and dined as in this country, are breakfasted. The breakfasts are 80 recognized by college authorities that lectures do not begin until ten o'clock. Tea is also a meal of socfal attrac- tions, and “over the teacups” are dis- cussed the events of college life. For social life is a thing encouraged by Oxford. During terms a man gets much social life and during vacation he {8 expected to do much studying. Three terms of only eight weeks each compose the college year. Hard work, however, must be done by the student during vacation, for Oxford above all demands results, and the ex- aminations are about the “stiffest” known. Yet it makes little difference to the authorities where or when the knowledge of the student is obtained. The instruction is a combination ot tutor and lectures. Each student has his tutor to whom he reports and who watches his progress. He is not re- quired to attend lectures, but pleases himself—and in the end passes or fails, It is not the means, but results that the university cares about, Ancient Customs Prevail. Such are some few of the Oxford ~ustoms and such is its method of in- struction. Foolish customs, you say. Chere are many such. Queer they do CHRIST CHURCH , OXFORD to official meetings clad in his scarlet l robes, and preceded by two beadles in medieval costume. One head master still writes his letters in Latin to those he knows can read them. Each night the student must sleep in his own room, and as a proof “his scout” must take a loaf of bread from the kitchen each morning. The man who fails in this is apt to be suspended. Enough, however, of methods and customs in general. The various col- leges attract the visitor. Christ church, one of the best known and largest of the colleges, has about 300 undergrad- uates. It was founded by Cardinal Wolsey, whose cap appears at the top of all college stationery. Its dining room takes us back to the time of Charles I. and his parliament. Its rep- utation, merited no doubt, i8 that of being the most artistocratic of all the colleges. Its famous “Broad Walk” is very beautiful. Gladstone, Wesley, Rus- kin and Reel are famous names of which Christ church boasts. Each of the colleges has a quadrangle, and some have two. Christ church has the “Great Tom Quad,” and the “Little Quad.” New Long Ago. New college (it was new long ago), with its gardens is particularly attrac- tive. The gardens, surrounded on two eldes by the old city wall, relics of the times of Saxon and Dane, are a little Inclosed spot of great beauty, Magdalen (pronounced Maudlin) col- lege grounds contain many acres and forty fallow deer. It has the old pul- pit still, preserved where once a year the university sermon is preached on the festival of John the Baptist. To ' my notion Magdalen is the most beau- tiful and interesting of all the col- | leges. An old servitor showed us about i the place and told us tales of bygone days. He told how the college had | always been strongly royalist; how Cromwell planted a row of trees for Magdalen, but after Charles II. Res. toration the royalist fellows returned and dug up the trees, so that they might not be indebted to Cromwell for | anything. As we wandered about the watpr' walks of Magdalen college on the ' banks of the Cherwell, a branch of the | Isis (Thames), and saw all the beau. | teous spots—Addison's walk, with {ts | tall elms, (Addison the greatest and ' best of all pupils of Magdalen—as the old servitor informed us), when we | saw the trees and meadows, the water | and the old mill, the park with its fal. | low deer near by, we grasped the in. | spiration of the place and eagerly | drank In the stories which the oid man related to us. Here it was among these picturesque haunts that Gebbon, Goldwin Smith, Collins and Charles Reade were educated. | Each May day the choir sings q!

Woman i3 | dominated only through sensuality or; its outcome—vanity. The clever slave, understanding this, has pan- dered to both and so obtained power. “Women are the natural inspirers | of men. Their mission is to tell them | what to do and see that they do it. Nietzsche, one of the most advanced of women’s slaves, an abnormally de- veloped product of error, a victim 1n consequence, advised men: ‘When you go to see a woman carry & whip.’ “Man is fitted for practical labor, woman {s not. It lras at various times been suggested that men make the best domestic servants, They do, and would. On shipboard, railroad, etc., where good and reliable service is a neceseity, men are, for the better part employed. Man was created for acuou and service; woman was not. Her part is to prcduce the men, pro- vide emplcyment for them aud make them work. » “The trouble with married life 18 that the slave has been put at the helm. Woman is the natural head ot the house. Napoleon was not entirely wrong when he declared that the greatest woman was the one who pro- duced the greatest numbcer of sons. Napoleon knew the value of workers.” QUEEN GETS SUFFRAGE PLEA i Malid of Honor Requests Ruler to Can- cel Rule Against Joining Mili- tant Society, London.—Honorable Mabel Gye, one of Queen Mary's maids of honor in keen sympathy with the militant suf- fragettes, has presented a petition to the queen purporting to represcnt the views of eight other ladies in the royal household and praying her majesty to Queen Mary of Engian.'. cancel the rule recently made that no ' member of her household must belong to the Women's Social and Political union, the militant suffragette organi- zation. The queen, strongly opposed to the militants, sent no reply. Miss Gye has offered to resign, but her res- ignation was not accepted. ‘ JEALOUSY IN MONKEY CAGE.
