Norton's house, where William
Penn preached ono of his unpop
ular sermons In 1fi87, has recent
ly been demolished, Perm was
at that time in Oxford only ns a
visitor. He entered as a student
nt Christ Church coIIcko at the
age of 16 but was very shortly
expelled for his religious opin
ions. Thomas Lowe, who Induced
Penn to become a Quaker, was
for n good many years an Ox
ford president.
Penn's old college, by way of
urn ends, has bis portrait hung
conspicuously in Its hall. As the
Pilgrim divines were chiefly Cam
bridge men, Oxford, not to be
oitdone, makes the most of all ,
its American connections. Lord i
Baltimore Is still without a me-i
mortal In his old college. Trinity,'
but ns Trinity has portraits of two!
of Its students well known In I
American history. William FHt
who Avon the continent, and Lord
North who lost half of )( the
collegn feels satisfied.
