Americans have poured across the sea to Oxford and the association with Englishmen in their own country has been profitable. But the feeble trickle of Englishmen to American universities has prevented the thorough understanding which Rhodes intended. "Reciprocity", in this case, is necessary, and the stimulation has been provided.

Critics are inclined to comment that it is Senator Pepper and not the League who has " moved over." This is the man who, as Vice President of the League for the Preservation...
...world today is drifting toward a spiritualistic movement which, though still in its infancy, may develop to greater heights." The speaker is not Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but Rev. Herman Page, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Spokane. Sir Arthur himself says: " I can see a great church forming which will take in all sects from the Roman Catholic Church to the Salvation Army...
