SIR,—I am not, and could never have been, a member

of what T. C. W. Stinton calls `Mr. Blake's College'; but, with many other mem- bers of the university to which both your correspondents belong, I agree with every- thing that Mr. Blake has to say. We believe that the preservation of the peace and beauty of Christ Church Meadows is 'for the com- mon good' of town and gown alike, and that an Oxford describable as 'branchy between traffic lights' is not.—Yours faithfully,
