...about the chapels, dining-halls, "quads," and student life in general at Oxford. But I do not remember that any one of them gives the best time made in the quarter-of-a-mile race or the one-hundred yard dash; and this is the point I wish to come to, namely, Athletics.

We are all liable to be taken...
