Meanwhile in Oxford itself a sub-committee, under the en- lightened
chairmanship of the Dean of Christ Church, is con- sidering the feasibility of such plans for University extension as those which Dr. Temple advocates and Mr. Meyrick abhors. And as another sub-committee is under the guidance of Mr. Goldwin Smith, to consider the beat means for extending the University "by means of the affiliation and inspection of other places of liberal education," we may expect to have some really wide views as to educational possibilities put before the teaching public shortly. It should be added that a third plan, for adding a twenty-sixth to the twenty-five colleges and halls already in existence, and at present fairly full, is under the consideration of a sub-committee, presided over by the Rev. R. Greswell. There can be no doubt but that the collegiate residence, or at least the familiar intercourse with other students which collegiate residence certainly promotes, is one of the most valuable elements in University education, though those who cannot afford the coat are quite right to ask for what they can get.
