OXFORD, the famous Kngllsh university town, Is confronted with a perplexing problem. Dependent almost entirely upon the good will and trade of the students and professors of the ancient seat of learning which has carried its name around the world, It Is natural-ty-anxleus to"fagvent fttiyT"outside factor from spoiling the unique character and appearance of the town. Yd, only five miles away, In the neighboring village of Cowley, the largest automobile factory In Great Britain prospers, and threatens to >brlng modern mass production up to the very walls and spires of Its halls of learning. England needs successful Industries just now, and therein ties the 'rub. The National Association of Local, Government officers of England met in Oxford recently, and its members discussed.'the matter pro and con. William 'Robsqn, one of the officers, prophesied that Oxford would become "the (Latin Quarter of Cowley.** Oxonians, It Is clear, would ratMr have such Industries confined to t)ie Midlands, and would save, each in its-own ~sray, 'both Oxford and Lancashire. Oxford is a picture of the Middle ages, whose gpirit speaks of tomorrow, and is a fascinating study, lq itself. "A. home of lost causes and impossible Royalties," It has been labeled by some writers. Perhaps libeled is a better 'word. "Lost causes** and ^impossible loyalties" suggest defeat and decay. But O^fqr^ apparently has been <nourished by lost causes; it has thrived on, or prospered In spite atf, impossible loyalties. The ^pii^s"of |the good gray <flty look down upon us restless ones of a machine age with Jhe same detachment and indifference that they displayed In 'the face'of Cromwell an? bis Roundheads or any others who have threatened their monastic peace and -calm. r - rz~ * > ? ? - * r-* There are, of course, those who say that 'Oxford Is very far from being a homer of lost causes, and thatr'on the contrary, It bas always been quick to fall in ling ? with every popular fadwhicb various generations have developed. But this Is a matter of opinion: ' ..Keeping Up to Date. Strolling along the. winding streets and lahes of Oxford town, one notices many things In >thQ windows and signs of the qpops which ^indicate that the tradesmen and others not directly connected with tthe university have made concessions to the times?chain stores, called '"8 and O's" instead of - "5 and tO'a," the units being pennies.

If you linger too long at crossings to drink In the beauty and charm of the scene before you,_ _ \ . But, all this is Oxford town, which for generations has washed like a sea against (be bulwark of walls, towers and battlements known as the colleges of Oxford ' university. Within their great irdn-studded gates the noise, the ephemeral, comings and goings, the ordinary pleasures apd triumphs and disappointments of the workaday 'world fade away. ?hm, one f^u sun, u TO shell or a dead clvinzation, but rather the rich fruit of ripe old age; a maturity secure against whatever may come or go in the world outside, be it near or farfroretbs gatefc * o . ~ Origin of the Untvsrsity. - ?: The origin of Oxford as a university 1? shrouded In the misty myths of a day when records were poorly kept and evea more poorly preserved. Some authorities hold that Oxford ant Qpmfcrl#n^tnr Ttfh founded by . early potentates. Others claim that i : -.. 11 ~ *^2- \ M cf,- M < , 2 Z~r 7 i religious establishments in tne towns attracted scholars. It seems more likely, however, that both Oxford and Cambridge became universities as a result of location and a series of fortunate circumstances. Halfway between London and the Midlands of Knglnnd, on main routes connecting the two populous dlstricts,.yet~far Owough-removed from the disturbances of those industrial and political .Centers, teachers and scholars alike found In them havens for academic life. A'few learned men gathered aborft them, In their homes or in monastic buildings, groups of students, who f^und such accommodations as they could tn halls or hostels' about the town. In course of time the scholar?j and teachers, as a matter "of convenience, hoarded together In halls^ Gradually , these ihalls gave way to corporate bodies or colleges,, most of them of religious foundation and endowment Ebrpnlsloa of foreign students from Paris In the Twelfth century proved a qgreat Impetus to the struggling little English groups, and we find, a century later, that Oxford has 8,000 students, and that Cambridge Is recognized, In a wrft -of Henry HI, as "an important seat of learning." Joday .Oxford la officially composed of "21 colleges, -one hall, a Delegacy of NonColleglate Students, four "societies" or colleges of women^-students, and the Society of Oxford i Home Students, the last the female equivalent of the Delegacy of Non Collegiate Students, j Graduates may continue to be "members" of the university by the annual paymqnt -of certain fees. This. membership. carries with it both aca-i demic and political rights. , If the: graduate has a degree of Master of; Arts*>er higher, he may vote on all ; proposed university legislation, and. If he is also a British subject, he may take part in the^^lecilon of thq^twd triembers of parliament "lo which the university, us distinct from the town and county of Oxford, Is entitled. Each Col lego Independent. Oxford end Cambridge are unique among Institutions of higher learning In the world ltt that-they ar^ composed of colleges which Ire also Incorporated bodies, each college witkr Independent endowments, the right to receive and reject whom it will,-and the "power to rbgulate Its students, -.within the walls of the college itself, as it sees fit No one, in fact, may be a "member* of th^universlty unless he Is first accepted by one of the colleges or the "societies" of which J the University Is composed. There are no members of thd university "at large." The university/regulates the teach-^ degrees and grants them, and enforces discipline outside of the college, walls. Almost every other power is delegated to the Individual colleges. In some respects the relation between the university and Its colleges resembles that between the federal government and tho-etate -governments ot -our -own country. pne English writer comments facetlously on the system: "In solemn truth It may be said that the common law of England, which covers so great impart of the world, even beyond the' bounds of the British empire, does not, run In Oxford. Oxford Is a ?ree city wherein, men are slaws of a chancellorlal tyrant." This Is, of course, mere hyperbole. But the vice chancellor, who does the work of the chancellor, an honorary, nonresident officer, may truly be said to be the lord of aJI ho susvsyfl la On ford. While the city of Oxford bas a ruling mayor and corporation (council) and theoretically is independent and supreme outside of college walls, It usually.vet way jyheiL_ihe-vice chancellor of the university wishes certain things. for instance, no dances, benefit entertainments, or other amusements open to the general public and students may be held within the limits of the city of Oxford unless the perMission of the vice chancellor ha# first been obtained. Nitrolee Bridge Open For Traffic On Wednesday the Nitrolee bridge was opened for traffic and a number of people have driven between Great Falls and Lancaster in the meantime. This handsome new bridge which is 1600 feet long is one of the finest in the state. Af a result of this bridge over the Catawba river the distance from Great Falls to Lancaster is shortened by about sin miles. The distance now is a Httle more than thirteen miles as it is 11 miles from Lancaster to the t^itcolee bridge and 2.2 miles from the bridge Jo Great Falls. The state highway department is now maintaining the Belltown road as a detour on Highway No. 08. This road is vis the Oitawba Fertiliser plant and through Belltown. A new three mile cut-off from the Nitrolee bridge 16 a point close to Belltown was completed almost a year ago, | This bridge was erected by the Tidwell Construction company at a cost of $21,000 with the state fur-, nishing cement and steel frame work. 826,000 was paid the Duke Power company for the old trestle bridge which was purchased 'by the state highway commission. The total cost ; to the state was approximately $50,000. The contractor furnished tim-* bers in construction of the bridge. ' The present route to Great Falls is being maintained by the state as a detour as?a new road from Lancaster to the bridge was proposed by the state highway department but with the curtailing of highway expenditure! it is doubtful if a new road will be built within the next few years. The state made a survey of a new route about a year ago. Considerable opposition has been manifested! to the proposed route. The Nitrolee (bridge widens the Lancaster trading territory and Lancaster residents have expressed sat-, isfaction with the opening of the bridge.?Lancaster News. ' i C. H.
