Rhodes Scholar From
Oregon City Tells Ways
Of English University
WORCESTER COL1.F.0.E. OXFORD,
ENGLAND. (Editor of the Enter
prise.) For ome time I have wanted
to write your paper few impressions
of Oxford, but the press of various
duties pleasurable and otherwise, has
crowded out an opportunity for such.
To the average Rhodes Scholar Ox
ford Is a much more pleasing topic to
write on In his second terra than In
his first, (I might explain that the
academic year is divided Into three
terms of about eight weeks each) for
In his first term be Is continually op
pressed with the general newness of
things, and the awkwardness or being
placed In the midst of an English I n
Iverslty when fresh from an Ameri
can I'nlverslty where one enjoys so
much freedom.
To Illustrate how one's freedom Is
hedged about here. all the colleges
22 In number, composing th9 V. of Ox
ford, are surrounded by high walls
surmounted with spirals of Iron spikes,
and these are supposed to be (and are
except to a few experts) an effective
barrier to anyone entering or going
out The gates of the college are
closed at 9:15 P. M.. after which time
no undergraduate can leave college,
and If he he out after that hour he
Is subjected to a fine, depending In
amount on the hour of his return. But
everyone Is supposed to be within col
lege at midnight, and if one should
transgress that role, he would prob
ably be "sent down" (slang for
"canned"). If he had not a previous
excuse from the Dean. Then every
undergraduate is supposed to wear
a gown when out of college in the
evening, and if he be so unfortunate
as to be caught by the Proctors,
(known as "Progs"), whose duties are
to patrol the city searching Into vari
ous and sundry places for students
College) much to the chargln of the
prog, who didn't thing he was being
"ragged" all that time.
I do not, however, wish to criticise
surhrcgiifnttons, for they wore made
for our English brothorn and not for
us Americans.
The Question Is often asked: "IVi
the Rhodes scholars get Into the life
of Oxford?" From my knowledge anil
observation I can positively say that
they do, both In scholarship and nth
let les.
It was only last year that the Ore
gon won here at Worsecter won a
great scholastic distinction by taking
a first In "Croats" (Latin, Creek, phil
osophy, etc.) and It Is true that the
scholarship of the Rhodes men Is fur
above the average of the Englishmen
Perhaps you have noted that last
autumn In the freshmen sports (track I
work) the Rhodes men from different
parts took 63 4 out of a possible 72
points, and of those the Americans
took 43. This was so notorious that
action was taken by the athletic board
and Rhodes men were barred from
entering tho freshmen sports in fu
litre. At Worcester college here there
