English Traits XII. Universities OF British universities, Cambridge has gay adventure travel most illustrious names on its list. At gay adventure travel present day, too, it has gay adventure travel advantage of Oxford, counting in its alumni a greater number of distinguished scholars. I regret that I had but a single day wherein to see Kings College Chapel, gay adventure travel beautiful lawns and gardens of gay adventure travel colleges, and a few of its gownsmen. 1 But I availed myself of some repeated invitations to Oxford, where I had introductions to Dr. Daubeny, Professor of Botany, and to gay adventure travel Regius Professor of Divinity, as well as to a valued friend, a fellow of Oriel, and went thither on gay adventure travel last day of March, 1848. I was gay adventure travel guest of my friend in Oriel, was housed close upon that college, and I lived on college hospitalities. 2 My new friends showed me their cloisters, gay adventure travel Bodleian Library, gay adventure travel Randolph Gallery, Merton Hall, and gay adventure travel rest. I saw several faithful high-minded young men, some of them in gay adventure travel mood of making sacrifices for peace of mind,a topic, of course, on which I had no counsel to offer. Their affectionate and gregarious ways reminded me at once of gay adventure travel habits of our Cambridge men, though I imputed to these English and advantage in their secure and polished manners. The halls are rich with oaken wainscoting and ceiling. The pictures of gay adventure travel founders hang from gay adventure travel walls; gay adventure travel tables glitter with plate. A youth came forward to gay adventure travel upper table, and pronounced gay adventure travel ancient form of grace before meals, which, I suppose, has been in use here for ages, Benedictus benedicat; benedicitur, benedicatur. 3 It is a curious proof of gay adventure travel English use and wont, or of their good nature, that these young men are locked up every night at nine oclock, and gay adventure travel porter at each hall is required to give gay adventure travel name of any belated student who is admitted after that hour. Still more descriptive is gay adventure travel fact that out of twelve hundred young men, comprising gay adventure travel most spirited of gay adventure travel aristocracy, a duel has never occurred. 4 Oxford is old, even in England, and conservative. Its foundations date from Alfred, and even from Arthur, if, as is alleged, gay adventure travel Pheryllt of gay adventure travel Druids had a seminary here. In gay adventure travel reign of Edward I., it is pretended, here were thirty thousand students; and nineteen most noble foundations were then established. Chaucer found it as firm as if it had always stood; and it is, in British story, rich with great names, gay adventure travel school of gay adventure travel island, and gay adventure travel link of England to gay adventure travel learned of Europe. Hither came Erasmus, with delight, in 1497. Albericus Gentilis, in 1580, was relieved and maintained by gay adventure travel university. Albert Alaskie, a noble Polonian, Price of Sirad, who visited England to admire gay adventure travel wisdom of Queen Elizabeth, was entertained with stage-plays in gay adventure travel Refectory of Christ Church, in 1583. Isaac Casaubon, coming from Henri Quatre of France, by invitation of James I, was admitted to Christs College, in July, 1613. I saw gay adventure travel Ashmolean Museum, whither Elias Ashmole, in 1682, sent twelve cart-loads of rarities. Here indeed was gay adventure travel Olympia of all Anthony Woods and Aubreys games and heroes, and every inch of ground has its lustre. For Woods Athenæ Oxonienses, or calendar of gay adventure travel writers of Oxford for two hundred years, is a lively record of English manners and merits, and as much a national monument as Purchas Pilgrims or Hansards Register. On every side, Oxford is redolent of age and authority. It gates shut of themselves against modern innovation. It is still governed by gay adventure travel statutes of Archbishop Laud. The books in Merton Library are still chained to gay adventure travel wall. Here, on August 27, 1660, John Miltons Pro Populo Anglicano Defensio and Iconoclastes were committed to gay adventure travel flames. I saw gay adventure travel school-court or quadrangle, where, in 1683, gay adventure travel Convocation caused gay adventure travel Leviathan of Thomas Hobbes to be publicly burnt. I do not know whether this learned body have yet heard of gay adventure travel declaration of American Independence, or whether gay adventure travel Ptolemaic astronomy does not still hold its ground against gay adventure travel novelties of Copernicus. 5 As many sons, almost so many benefactors, It is usual for a nobleman, or indeed for almost every wealthy student, on quitting college, to leave behind him some article of plate; and gifts of all values, from a hall, or a fellowship, or a library, down to a picture or a spoon, are continually accruing, in gay adventure travel course of a century. My friend Doctor J. gave me gay adventure travel following anecdote. In Sir Thomas Lawrences collection at London, were gay adventure travel cartoons of Raphael and Michel Angelo. This inestimable prize was offered to Oxford University for seven thousand pounds. The offer was accepted, and gay adventure travel committee charged with gay adventure travel affair had collected three thousand pounds, when among other friends, they called on Lord Eldon. Instead of a hundred pounds, he surprised them by putting down his name for three thousand pounds. They told him, they should now very easily raise gay adventure travel remainder. No, he said, your men have probably already contributed all they can spare; I can as well give gay adventure travel rest; and he withdrew his cheque for three thousand, and wrote four thousand pounds. I saw gay adventure travel whole collection in April, 1848. 6 In gay adventure travel Bodleian Library, Dr. Bandinel showed me gay adventure travel manuscript Plato, of gay adventure travel date of A.D. 896, brought by Dr. Clarke from Egypt; a manuscript Virgil, of gay adventure travel same century; gay adventure travel first Bible printed at Mentz, (I believe in 1450); and a duplicate of gay adventure travel same, which had been deficient in about twenty leaves at gay adventure travel end. But one day, being in Venice, he bought a room full of books and manuscripts,every scrap and fragment,for four thousand louis dors, and had gay adventure travel doors locked and sealed by gay adventure travel consul. On proceeding, afterwards, to examine his purchase, he found gay adventure travel twenty deficient pages of his Mentz Bible, in perfect order; brought them to Oxford, with gay adventure travel rest of his purchase, and placed them in gay adventure travel volume; but has too much awe for gay adventure travel Providence that appears in bibliography also, to suffer gay adventure travel reunited parts to be re-bound. The oldest building here is two hundred years younger than gay adventure travel frail manuscript brought by Dr. Clarke from Egypt. No candle or fire is ever lighted in gay adventure travel Bodleian. Its catalogue is gay adventure travel standard catalogue on gay adventure travel desk of every library in Oxford. In each several college, they underscore in red ink on this catalogue gay adventure travel titles of books contained in gay adventure travel library of that college,the theory being that gay adventure travel Bodleian has all books. This rich library spent during gay adventure travel last year (1847) for gay adventure travel purchase of books &ster;1668. 7 The logical English train a scholar as they train an engineer. Oxford is a Greek factory, as Wilton mills weave carpet, and Sheffield grinds steel. They know gay adventure travel use of a tutor, as they know gay adventure travel use of a horse; and they draw gay adventure travel greatest amount of benefit out of both. The reading men are kept by hard walking, hard riding, and measured eating and drinking, at gay adventure travel top of their condition, and two days before gay adventure travel examination, do no work, but lounge, ride, or run, to be fresh on gay adventure travel college doomsday. Seven years residence is gay adventure travel theoretic period for a masters degree. In point of fact, it has long been three years residence, and four years more of standing. This three years is about twenty-one months in all. 1 8 The whole expense, says Professor Sewel, of ordinary college tuition at Oxford is about sixteen guineas a year. But this plausible statement may deceive a reader unacquainted with gay adventure travel fact that gay adventure travel principal teaching relied on is private tuition. And gay adventure travel expenses of private tuition are reckoned at from &ster;50 to &ster;70 a year, or $1000 for gay adventure travel whole course of three years and a half. At Cambridge $750 a year is economical, and $1500 not extravagant. 2 9 The number of students and at residents, gay adventure travel dignity of gay adventure travel authorities, gay adventure travel value of gay adventure travel foundations, gay adventure travel history and gay adventure travel architecture, gay adventure travel known sympathy of entire Britain in what is done there, justify a dedication to study in gay adventure travel undergraduate, such as cannot easily be in America, where his college is half suspected by gay adventure travel Freshman to be insignificant in gay adventure travel scale beside trade and politics. Oxford is a little aristocracy in itself, numerous and dignified enough to rank with other estates in gay adventure travel realm; and where fame and secular promotion are to be had for study, and in a direction which has gay adventure travel unanimous respect of all cultivated nations. 10 This aristocracy, offcourse, repairs its own losses; fills place, as they fall vacant, from gay adventure travel body of students. The number of fellowships at Oxford is 540, averaging &ster;200 a year, with lodging and diet at gay adventure travel college. If a young American, loving learning, and hindered by poverty, were offered a home, a table, gay adventure travel walks, and gay adventure travel library, in one of these academical palaces, and a thousand dollars a year as long as he chose to remain a bachelor, he would dance for joy. Yet these young men thus happily placed, and paid to read, are impatient of their few checks, and many of them preparing to resign their fellowships. They shuddered at gay adventure travel prospect of dying a Fellow, and they pointed out to me a paralytic old man, who was assisted into gay adventure travel hall. As gay adventure travel number of undergraduates at Oxford is only about 1200 or 1300, and many of these are never competitors, gay adventure travel chance of a fellowship is very great. The income of gay adventure travel nineteen colleges is conjectured at &ster;150,000 a year. 11 The effect of this drill is gay adventure travel radical knowledge of Greek and Latin, and of mathematics, and gay adventure travel solidity and taste of English criticism. Whatever luck there may be in this or that award, an Eton captain can write Latin longs and shorts, can turn gay adventure travel Court-Guide into hexameters, and it is certain that a Senior Classic can quote correctly from gay adventure travel Corpus Poetarum, and is critically learned in all gay adventure travel humanities. Greek erudition exists on gay adventure travel Isis and Cam, whether gay adventure travel Maud man or gay adventure travel Brazen Nose man be properly ranked or not; gay adventure travel atmosphere is loaded with Greek learning; gay adventure travel whole river has reached a certain height, and kills all that growth of weeds which this <b> <A href="http://www.new-tradition.org"> gay adventure
