War Has Caused Changes.

A tradition of Oxford and Cambridge has been completely broken. For-the first time since the days of Charles the First a whole generation of undergraduate life has dropped out. Men now at the front, who ordinarily would enter thg-jearned professions, will not be willing to return to go through the normal undergraduate course. It will take too big a slice out of life, and the de; mand for men will be far too urgent, and the tasks to be done so great. It will be up to the universities to give to these practical young men who come back the essence of a liberal education, and to do it in theonly way that they would, generally speaking, be ready to submit to, namely, in some shortened way, and in a way that obviously bore directly upon life.—London Times.
