...best examinations are elected as fellows of their college, where they have a home, and along with this, a respectable income, so that they can devote the whole of their leisure to scientific pursuits. Both Oxford and Cambridge have each more than 500 such fellowships. The fellows may, but need not act as tutors for the students. They need not even live in the university town, but may spend their stipends where they like, and in many cases may retain the fellowships for an indefinite period.

The college authorities recognized its importance years ago when a course in debate (English 6) was established. Last year the course was omitted on account of its place being filled by the Union, and for 1883-84 the course is also bracketed. Any member of the university is eligible for membership upon payment of a nominal yearly fee, and meetings are held every fortnight on alternate Thursday evenings. Those wishing to join the society will have an opportunity...
