The January number of the American Oxonian, published quarterly by

Mr. W. W. Thayer at Concord, New Hampshire, for the American Rhodes Scholars, is devoted to the experiences of the hundred and fifty-five American officers and men who spent last summer term at Oxford. Their adjutant, Captain Homer L. Bruce of Texas, himself a Rhodes Scholar, says that "each and every one of them received a new idea of what she [Great Britain] stands for and were more convinced than ever before that one of the prime factors for insuring the peace of the world will be found in a closer understanding between the United States and Great Britain." The Americans worked hard and played hard. Their baseball team—the first that Oxford has had, but not, we hope, the last—defeated all corners.
