A WOUNDED CANADIAN AT
1 OXFORD
When / came out of the `June affai
near Hooge with a "safe blighty one,'
I felt that fortune had been very goo
to me. When after 10 days of pree
liminary patching up and bone settineii
in a hospital on the Yrench coast, the
R.A.M.C. set my stretcher down in
Oxford, T. felt that fortune had beenl
particularly considerate. And, th
more I became acquainted with th
the "dispensation" that had assinged
royal old university /city during the
pleasant months of June, July and
August, the more fervently I blessed
me to such a place.
In one of his gripping 31a -els, Mr. A.
W. Masoo speaks reflectively of Ott -
ford as "the city in the English mead-
ows which 'eannot be forgoten, the
mother city of grey towers."
Certainly no one who his punted
languidly up the willow arched Cher -
„well, or sped up the Isis in a launch,
past the long moorage ofcollege bar- ,
ges, to Folly Bridge; who has ,
caught the sweep of clothes and towers
and •spire, coming clown Boar's Hill
by motor from Abingdon; who has ap-
proached the noble curve of the High;
who has taken a meditative stroll a-
long the rgoreal arcades at Addi-
son's wal ; or who has seen thesub-
lime IVIagi alen Tower foeussed-as in
the "finder of a camera -in the foliage
embrasure from the Fellows' Garden
at Merton certainly no one who has
seen Oxfo d from these angles and
in these in ods can either forget or
help bein charmed by this falvorite
haunt of t e British Muses, the Eng-
lish Perna sus.

The wisdo
drawn in favor of the skill of doctors,
and the in d authority of dons had
given plac r to the inertial sway of
Officers' T eining Corps instructors.
The strenu,us college sports of the
playing flel s had been superseded by
gentle "co valescent games" in gar-
den and la • Punts and skiffs and
canoes still idled on "the Char," but
boating fla nels had gone out of
fashion in avor of "hospital blues."
Social life as by no means exting-

the pace, a d it was the ladies who
now sought to entertain the wounded
Tommies i stead of being entertain-
ed thernselt es by Varsity sportsmen.
One finds it difficult to learn of a
case of an able bodied Oxonian -be

significant, I think, that of the five

pended their academic functions. The
handsome 'Schools," completed no
further back than Majuba Year,. has
been transformed into an almost ideal
Base Hospital. No longer do under -
grads eome here 'with wobbling self-
confidence, to write baffling examina-
tion papers. Those who are brought
in here now are subjected to the more
vital examination of the surgical clinic
and to the penetrating analysis of the
X-ray apparatus that cannot be bluff-
ed. It is the surgeon with the lancet
not the examiner with the blue pencil
who decides your fate.
Somerville College -a modern con-
cession to the rights of women stud-
ents, -has gone back on its sex, and
is now a house of restoration for dam-
aged officers. True there are still
women to be found in its halls and in
its charming gardens, but it is not by
the "Co-ed's" gown you recognize
°then. It is the double sleeve band of
the mining sisters, the red bordered
capes of the staff -nurses, and the Red
Cross bosoms of the V.A.D.'s that the
privileged male imnates have come to
look for gratefuly. Somehow these
new women of Somerville College
seem kinder to men than their acad-
emic predecessors.
The town hall -a -worthy civilia.n
companion to its "high -brow" neigh-
bor, Christ Church College, has also
contracted its civil offices to accom-
modate the Empire's wounded; while
even the work -house in the suburban
adjunct of Cowley, has dispersed its
inmates to receive the sufferers of the
Great 'Crisis.

ful gardens of the Nonconformist

ly all the remaining colleges acconnno-
date companies of the two Officers'
Cadet Battalions, which now repre-
sent Oxford's undergraduate body.
The majority of these cadets, it may
be mentioned, are men who have ser-
ved at least six months in France
in the ranks, and who have already
proved themselves.
Through all this temporary adapta-
tion of Oxford to war contingencies,
however, one can till discern much
of its true and traditional flavor.
It was not the antiquity of Oxford
that impressed me so much as the
conservatism that insists in preserv-
ing that antiquity, and the abhorrence
of change or reform. It is well known
that Oxford and Cambridge, , while
admitting women as students, and al-
lowing them to pay fees and 'write ex-
aminations, refuse to grant them a
degree. I .asked a Wadhari man why
this final recognition of women's edu-
cational erights was still denied at
Oxford, while_ every - other Western
University, even Tory Dublin, admit-
ted it. "Oh, you see," he replied, "if
evoinen students were allowed to take
their degree, .ithey would be entitled
to vote as alumnae. And they would
try to introduce reforms, and we don't
Want reforms at Oxford." ("No won-
der there are militant suffragettes
Ln England," I said to myself, "if
hat's the spirit there up. against.")
New College, which was approxim-
ately new at the time of Agincourt,
till retains its ancient newness, al -
hough college after college has ris-
n in succeeding reigns. And so Magl
alen college which some centuries
o added its New Buildings, and
'vhose expansion demanded the sub -
Sequent erection of a still newer quad
O.nd block of buildings, differentiates
hese as Old New Buildings and New
evr Buildings. And so the Bell of the
om Tower of Christ Chuech still m-
ists on tolling 101 times every night
t nine o'clock, to indicate' the orig-
i ial number of students. It is refresh-
ing to record, however, that during a
i4iemorable row between Dean and un-
ergrads certain revolutionary stu-
dents cut the bell ropes. And for once IIMMitionsWIIIIIIIM
