The American Oxonian (Concord, New Hampshire : W. W. Thayer)
is written for American Rhodes Scholars, but the April number of Mi. Frank Aydelotte's breezy little quarterly will interest many Oxford men at home. There is a series of papers in which American students give their impressions of the different honour schools. All are flattering. Even in chemistry, for which Oxford's poverty has not been able to provide the sump- tuous laboratories of the new Universities, "two Americans who had taken graduate work at Harvard say that the facilities at Oxford compared very favourably with those of Harvard." The "Oxford Letter" for the past two terms is amusing. The dons of our youth would have been shocked to hear of the "Better Half Club "—for the wives of Rhodes Scholars and other Ameri- can students. It is no doubt a transitory phenomenon, due to the war.
