summary:
  no name captivates our sympathies more readily than that of Richard Steele, trooper and essayist, the friend of Addison and the husband of Prue. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE |IT was long and hotly maintained that University College was founded by Alfred the Great, and by celebrating its thousandth anniversary in 1872 the College would seem to have accepted this pious opinion. University College owes its existence to William of Durham, who, at his death in 1249, beqeathed to the University the sum of three hundred and ten marks for the use of ten or more _Masters_ (at that time the highest academical title) to be natives of Durham or its vicinity.

  [Plate X. New College : The Entrance Gateway] Among the Founders of Oxford colleges, three stand out pre-eminent --all three bishops of Winchester and great public servants. It is not surprising that, when the Parliamentarians entered Oxford, the windows of the Cathedral were much abused; that so much old glass was spared was probably due to the local patriotism of old Oxford men.

  Hogg, in fact, tacitly admitted the value of Bulwer's emendations by reprinting the articles in question in his biography of Shelley word for word as they appeared in the _New Monthly Magazine_, not in the form in which they originally left his pen. Never did a more finished gentleman than Shelley step across a drawing-room!

  The Further Adventures of Mr. Verdant Green, an Oxford Under-Graduate Being a Continuation of "The Adventures of Mr. Verdant Green, an Oxford Freshman"

summary:
  Now, as Mr. Bouncer was a gentleman of considerable experience and was, too, (although addicted to expressions not to be found in the Polite Preceptor,) quite free from the vulgar habit of personal flattery,--or, as he thought fit to express it, in words which would have taken away my Lord Chesterfield's appetite, buttering a party to his face in the cheekiest manner,--we may fairly presume, on this strong evidence, that Mr. Verdant Green had really gained a considerable amount of experience during his Freshman's term, although there were still left in his character and conduct many marks of viridity which-- Time's effacing fingers, assisted by Mr. Bouncer's instructions, would gradually remove. One morning, Mr. Verdant Green and Mr. Bouncer were lounging in the venerable gateway of Brazenface.

  In America, college men give comic operas and burlesques, usually writing both the book and the music themselves; and when they do, there is apt to be a Donnybrook Fair for vulnerable heads in the faculty. It was originally the Christ Church wine club, and to-day it is dominated by the sporting element of Christ Church, which is the most aristocratic of Oxford colleges.

The finances of the latter obliged him to leave Cambridge _without_ a degree; after he had been assistant at Harrow, had a school at Stanmore, and been head master of the grammar school at Colchester, and had become head master of that of Norwich, they remained so low that once looking upon a small library, says Mr. Field, in his Life of the Doctor, his eye was caught by the title, 'Stephani Thesaurus Linguæ Græcæ,' turning suddenly about, and striking violently the arm of the person whom he addressed, in a manner very unusual with him, 'Ah!

  Before long Martin quarrelled with Reggie Petworth, sulked foolishly, despaired of the term, and began to rely on the winter vacation and the subsequent six weeks of term to grapple with the problem of Mods. On reaching Oxford Martin sent a telegram: he was unavoidably prevented from seeing her.

He was disappointed at finding only Lady Dashwood in the drawing-room; but she had been really good natured in asking him to come and meet May Dashwood, so he was conversing freely with her when the door opened and Gwendolen Scott came in.

But I thought Jack Ward would not come unless I asked him myself, and that rotten jumble he talked about love on my bed, and a sort of feeling that Fred would not like him to come kept me from saying anything to him.

  All these articles were presented to Mr. Verdant Green with many speeches and great ceremony; while Mr. Green stood by, and smiled benignantly upon the scene, and his son beamed through his glasses (which his defective sight obliged him constantly to wear) with the most serene aspect. As the coach clattered down the Corn-market, and turned the corner by Carfax into High Street, Mr. Bouncer, having been compelled in deference to University scruples to lay aside his post-horn, was consoling himself by chanting the following words, selected probably in compliment to Mr. Verdant Green.
