Where is little doubt but that, so
long as Cam and Isis flow, the rival
merits of England's two great unieer-
sitieswill continue to afford matte(
for much -heated discussion to tit
Loyal partisans of both. The eontro.
♦ersy has raged tor centuries with un-
abated zeal, and the rivalry which
aahows Itself in the display of dark
and light blue ea the towpath in mod-
ern days, is the' counterpart of that
which in more storarty times found
rent in deeper matters. The famous
epigram by Joseph Trapp Is perhaps
ane of tate neatest literary monuments
of the ancient argument,
Wing George, observing with judie-
toug eyes
'Tice state of both his universities,
To Oxford sent a troop of horse; and
why?
That lera.rned body wanted loyalty.
To Cambridge books he sent, as well
discerning
Bow much that loyal body wanted
learning."
The retort of Cambridge is only less
'apt than the attack, and is not so
well known as It deserves to be.
"The King to Oxford sent a troop of
horse,
For Tories own no argument but
force;
With equal care to Cambridge books be
sent,
For Whigs admit no force but argu-
ment:"
It is not our intention, however, to
embroil ourselves in any conflict such
as that which gave rise to such shafts
Of wit as those just quoted, We will
content ourselves with a few notes on
the striking differences between the
sister. universities, avoiding controver-
sial matters so tar .as is possible.,
Classics or Sciences?
First and foremost, of course, come*
the point of classics and mathematics;
and the fact that, whilst at Oxford the
best clesste of his year is the holder
of the highest honor Oxford can give,
at Cambridge the senior wrangler, as
head of the mathematical tripos, is the
first among his peers, is responsible lot
a great number of points of difference.
Oxford, possessing the best classical
schools 1n the world, is naturally the
head and front of classical learning.
Hence, in the first place, a, good deal
of rivalry between Cambridge and Ox-
ford classical scholars; secondly, on
the whole, a more literary tendency
in Oxford life, and also a stronger lean-
ing towards conservatism as regards
old methods and ideals. In one im-
portant respect, however, Oxford has
proved herself much more receptive
el new Ideas, and the result has been
a great improvement—in many ways.
The system of inter-oollegiate lectures
has been very largely adopted. at Ox-
ford, whereas, at Cambridge, although
It bas been introduced to a certain ex-
tent, it is not nearly so firmly estab-
lished as at the sister university. By
this system, nearly all honor lecture:
given by college tutors and lecturers
are open to all members of the uni-
versity, the college tutor being recog-
nized by the university as a teacher
in his special faculty. The result is,
the greater accessibility of the learn-
ing of the university, a breaking down
of excessive college "clique," and a
more organized and united policy.
, Rhodes' Scholars and Ladies.
The will of the late Mr. Cecil Rhodes
has also given Oxford the honor of
leading the way as a centre 01 learn-
ing for the British realms across the
sea, The Rhodes' students, beddtag, as
,they are bound to be, the pick of the
.colonies, of America and of Germatry,

their election gifted with the faeul-

of study, are certain to have a. strong
influence upon the social and intellec-
tual life of Oxford. As regards the
'higher education of women, Cam-
bridge Is of course the centre, prob-
ably awing to the fact that women are
as a rule more attracted by the exact
sciences than by classical teaching,
At Oxford, on the other hand, there is
not the same amount of friction be.
tween men and women students as at
,Cambridge. Possibly it is that the
.women students keep more to tliem-
•setves, and again the question of
granting degrees to :women . has not
yet been flung into the Oxford arena,
where it Is quite possible that it might
'arouse a disturbance quite as lively as
that which Cambridge witnessed tout
or five years ago.

'We have not space to do more than

Concerned, the Oxford man and his
Cambridge contemporary are beings
from different spheres. His speech is I
alien, his etiquette, his dress, Just as
at an earlier age the mark of Win-
chester, of Harrow, or Rugby, or of
Eton, is indelibly branded on each
loyal scholar. As regards social ad- ,
vantages. unless a Cambridge man be
also a Trinity man, Oxford has the
greater Inducements to offer, the col-
leges, all round, being larger, better
endowed and older established.
In the field of sport, we dare not
say much. To each his own place
must necessarily seem thebest, and in
athletics, as on the river, things even='
themselves up so fairly as to render
comparison unnecessary. Suffice it to
say that in all things competition bas
its bestetits, and that it is probable
that neither university would have
climbed ma )sigh had it not been for
emulation of its rival.
There is no doubt, in the minde of
most people, that Oxford possesses the

tic Cantabrigan may wax rapturous
over the charms of the 'Baekd' and of

too, is the just and unique pride of
Oxford; while as a nursery for the
budding orator, Oxford's Union is per-
haps

bridge.

First Photograph.
Lord Avebury (otherwise Sir John
Lubbock) was the first person in Eng-
land to have his photograph taken. M.
Daguerre, the co -inventor of the art,
came to London to patent his discov-
ery, and paid an early visit to Lord
Avebury's father. Ile was explaining
the details of his invention very en-
thusiastically, when he beheld the tittle
son of his host playing about in the
garden, and at once asked permission
to use him as a subject, in order to
give a Pr ctical demonstration of the
art. This was given, and resulted in
a very successful, photograph, the first
ever taken in the country.

NOTED FORGER RELEASED.
Gives Advice to the Bank of Eng(aaad--•
"Rainbow" Cheques,
In his home in a quiet North London
suburb a clean-shaven, resolute young
man, with a clear-cut business .head'
and a precise and careful manner, sat
and discussed with a Daily Mail repre-
sentative the past—and the future.
It was William. Barmaeh, the man
who was concerned in the most sensa-
tional forgery oe Bank of England
notes of recent tunes. Ile has just`
been released, after having served only
a third of the sentence of ten years'
penal servitude passed upon him in
December, 1902. He was the youngest,
and certainly not the most blame-
worthy, of the forgers; and his ]]berry
has been given him, to use his own
words, "So that I may make a fresh
start in life, and devote my energies
to a more honest and less • hazardous An,iIV AAAAMllagl/1/V1/1/1/1/VVN1AA1A
calling,
Barmash was transferred from Park-
hurst to Pentonviile prison after serv.
ingthree years and three months, and
the ; .hig�����,tthen released to rejoin his wife and [1J � �'tt"�'
children. Per "general good conduct
and services .rendered" Barmash's orig-
inal sentence of ten years was reduced
to five, with a further reduction of
three months a year for excellent be-
havior,
To his credit it must be said, he has
done all in his power to make atone-
ment, and his attempt to readjust tate
balance of justice, although it has not
altogether commended itself to former
associates, has won him the highest
opinions of the police and prison auth-
orities. This he firmly intends to fol-
low up by severing all the old criminal
ties,
Under a. new name Barmash has
made a fresh start, and none of his
neighbors who see a well-groomed,
kindly -mannered man with ,his little
enes making Hauch of him after his
long absence connect him with the no-
torious bank forger.
It will be remembered that atter the
trial his father, Salmon Barmash, par-
alyzed and a cripple, who had been
sentenced to fifteen years' Imprison -
'men, shot himself in a cell in New-
gate. How he procured' the revolver
after the careful search, and despite
the prison precautions, has remained
a mystery,
"In the library at Parkhurst prison,'
said the younger Barmash, "I have
read all kinds of fanciful theories that
have from time to time appeared in
the newspapers as to how he secured
the means of death, but only two or
three living people know the real truth
at present,
"After the dreadful past," young
Barmash went on, "I intend to com-
mence a new life. I am eager for any
opportunity, In Parkhurst, where are
most of the prisoners who for Milt
misdeeds are best known to the public,
my fellow -prisoners placed me in the
front ranks of crime — an undesired
honor, and one which I mean to live
down if possible. They would insist
on placing i
A g meon the list of notoriettes,
second only to the brothers Bidwell,
whose forgeries were executed to rob
the Bank of England of a million of
money. Our scheme was on a much
humbler scale, and whereas the Bid -
wells .had £5,000 capital our resources
were limited. ' hat makes a great dif-
ference."
Out of the -wealth of his experience!
Bartnash gives a hint to the "Old Lady ,
of Threadneedle Street," which coming

source and being offered in retribution.'
ie worthy of every consideration.
"The old -.fashioned way et printing
bank notes in a dull, single color
should," he said, "be changed, and each
note printed in many different colors.
This would prove too difficult to inti -1
tate, and forgery would cease to pay
and thus stop. •
"Even the much -vaunted, secretly
prepared water -mark paper on which; •
bank notes ere printed can be °opted ( •
to deceive an expert, and secret mark.,
of which we hear so much, are no*
known to the public- and the majority
of bank °ashlers. Itainbow color print-
ing is the only real remedy."
There is quite a tragedy -- a grim
tragedy — in elarmash trying to cash
a genuine Bank of England note,
"Memories of the forgeries stilt linger
in the public mind, apparently, and
make them cautious," he said, and re-
lated how, atter reporting himself at
Scotland Yard immediately atter his
release, he and his wife were unable
to change the only money they had with
them -.-e five -pound note --a, note above
all possible Suspicion.
Atte' trying in vain in several place*

walked
