Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Praise of Oxford: An Anthology in Prose and Verse But for all that the adjustment of Oxford to the needs of the national life has been perhaps far more complete and efficient than its critics, or even than those who seek to remedy its defects by engineering schools and working-men students, imagine. In its earlier ages Oxford was an European school, swarming with poor students and hungry foreigners prepared to vindicate its claim of supremacy over Paris or Bologna by an immediate appeal to the knife. By the time of Elizabeth Oxford appears to have learned the lesson of the Norman Conquest, that Englishmen need governors. It endeavoured to supply them on national lines by becoming the nursery of the rich. It has succeeded ever since to a certain extent in subjecting the sons of the rich to a more or less voluntary discipline as a preparation for those places on the quarter-deck of the vessel of state which it inculcates, by means chiefly of an appeal to experience, that they have every right to expect. It aims far less at the creation than at the communication of ideas (already well aired in the world) through the personal influence of the Oxford coach - Oxford's prime product of the last century, who at the expense of much private ex haustion and public indifference consecrates his best hours not to the University Press but to his particular pupils. This is the Oxford system to dispossess or disinherit which will require the most strenuous and unremitting labour on the part of the ages.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Praise of Oxford, Vol. 2: An Anthology in Prose and Verse; Life and Manners It only remains to make the acknowledgements most rightly cus tomary in all anthologies. 'the booksellers of London, ' said Dr. Johnson, 'are generous, liberal-minded men, ' and the editors again beg to acknowledge most gratefully the ready kindness with which the publishers have permitted them to draw from books still pro tected by copyright. They therefore tender their thanks to Messrs. Macmillan, Smith Elder, Longmans, Murray, Methuen, Hutchinson, Dent, Duckworth, Blackwood, Grant Richards, Heinemann, Arnold, Fisher Unwin, Chapman and Hall, Allen, Parker and many others. More especially are they bound to render thanks to the Delegates of the Press of their own University, to whom their debt is indeed great. Like kindness has been shown by authors, and particularly would they make mention of Dr. Herbert Warren, Mr. A. D. Godley, Mr. Henry James, Mr. Max Beerbohm, Mr. Robert Ross, Mr. H. G. Wells, Mr. Lang, Mr. A. G. Little, Sir H. Maxwell Lyte, Mr. Barry Pain, Mr. G. L. Calderon, Professor Ashley, Mr. Ashton, k.c., Mr. Hilaire Belloc, Sir A. T. Quiller-couch, Mr. A. M. Broadley, the Dean of Norwich, Archdeacon Hutton, Mr. Oldershaw, Mrs. Margaret L. Woods, Mrs. Humphrey Ward, and Mrs. De Paravicini, for permission to quote from their works. Others there are, both publishers and authors, to whom thanks are due, whose names the editors fear may not be included in these lists. For this, as well as for any neglect on their part, if neglect there has been, to obtain consent or approval, they ask forgiveness. They have also to thank Mr. P. E. Matheson of New College, Mr. Atlay, Mr. W. G. Waters, and Mr. Cyril Bailey of Balliol, for the kindly assistance they have given in regard to certain points.
