A WINNING TEAM * «• | r- ’ . He fights in a filthy foxhole. He climbs a mountain top. Deep in the sea he strikes for the free, And he doesn’t intend to stop. He gambles With fate on a tanker, Nor reckons the risk at stake; The least we can do, the folks at home Is to give our all for his sake. He plows through the mud in Europe With never a decent meal; He hacks his way through the jungle Till all his senses reel... He’s willing to spend to the very end, We live through pleasant days. Let’s match our bond purchases With the terrible price he pays —Ambrose Collinge.

The Canadians were the most interesting of th? lot, and much easier to know. I found that it was as Bill told me, when I zpet him in London an the way to Oxford—the Canadians think and talk as we do, end see things in much the same light—they talk our language. There weren’t many Canadian officers—only one ■that I remembe . One was a RAF member—a ver - nice fellow, like any young fellcw from home. He and the gob school teacher got quite chummy and ran around together all tie time. Another was in the mechanized cavalry—and a character. He spoke very slowly and deliberately, with broad “As”, like no one I’ve ever heard before, unless it was a newly matrictlated “Hahrvahrd” man. The ot ler Canadians all swore that he couldn’t possibly have been iborn and raised in Canada, altho he actually came from Montreal. I believe his odd early speech impediment, and that he had taken one of those courses to overcome it I’ve talked to people before, stutterers, who had taken a corrective course, and spoke in somewhat the same manner for that reason. However, he was quite young and inclined to think himself a “brain”—he made a lot of rather wild, radical statements, some awfully wierd. And he always had something to say, usually quite a lot at every group discussion or question hour—and most of our time was taken up in one or the other, lie verged on being a nuisance, and every time he spoke up, people looked at one another with boredom or amusement according to what he had to say. Giles Alington (pronounced the same as Ellington), the secretary for the course, was a Don from All Souls (although we were at Balliol—he was only lent for the purpose of the course). He has a grand sense of humor, and belies all the usual conceptions of an Englishman, with no sense of humor. He was constantly making humorous digs at the college, the university, the English, and the Dons who taught at the college and university (none to be taken seriously of course). He was assisted by a Mrs. Beall, a very attractive, personable woman, perfect for the job. She and her brother are proprietors of a very well-known publishing house, John Murrays of London. She arranged the teas, dances, etc., and kept us all pleasantly occupied and entertained.

The university, of course, comprises about 21 colleges. But their •breakdown is a bit different than ours. Their colleges are not defined according to what they teach—no college of Engineering, of law, of medicine, etc. Each college is more, or less an administrative and residential unit, and you can live in one college and study anything you’ve a mind to. Being admitted to one college, you are free to attend lectures given in any college in the uni-

versity, that appeals to you. For instance, a member of Balliol can attend a medical lecture at All Souls, or a law lecture at Christ Church, etc. Another thing, there are no set schedules of attendance at lectures. When you enter, you are assigned to a Don of your college, who becomes your tutor. You talk over with him what you intend to study for and he then gets out all the lists of lectures on that subject, recommends certain ones that are outstanding, and then leaves it up to you which ones you wish to attend. You do a lot of reading on the subject, from books he recommends, and periodically take examinations. In other words, you are a good bit on your own. The same system, with modifications, is being tried at Chicago U., and being hailed as “new and revolutionary”—well, it is, in view of the systems prevalent at home, but it is the age-old system here. It certainly has its advantages. You can go forward as quickly as you have the mind and desire to, or take it easy if you wish.

Each college is comprised of a huge mass of old buildings—their age varies, pf course, some being quite ancient, going back to about 1100. The newest are old from our point of view. Balliol is one of the oldest, dating about 1240 —and Very proud of it. Since we lived there, I can fell you a bit more about it—and they are all much the same. It comprises two quads (quadrangles), around which the buildings are grouped. You enter through the Porter’s Lodge (he locks the gates at 9 every night, and you have to kick on the gate for admission after that). The first quad, as you enter, is surrounded by buildings oh all four sides, the chapel (a very beautiful, Gothic structure), the library, and some other miscellaneous buildings, apparently lecture rooms, offices, etc., and all hoary with age. A tunnel-like passagq leads from orfe corner into the other quad which i? much larger, with large grass areas (part of which are laid out in bowling greens), trees, etc. The rector’s house and master’s house take up one side, the hall another, and the dorms the third, with the chapel and library forming the division between the first quad and this. The hall is quite impressive—it’is the dining hall and kitchen building. At the time the college was built (and this holds true of all of them) the matter of food was most important, and they really believed in eating in a big way. The dining hall itself is much like the interior of a church. A huge room, Gothic, with beamed ceiling, and huge fireplaces—at one time the only means of heat. The windows are all Gothic, stained glass (containing Heraldic devices), wide and high, with stone tracery. The walls are paneled, and one entire end is given over to a huge carved screen, in which is set a beautiful, enormous organ.
