The subject of University extension has .been discussed this week
in the columns of the Times by Dr. Temple, Mr. F D. Maurice, and Mr. F. Meyrick. The latter gentleman, who claims to appear as a protagonist in such a disputation rest, so far as we have been able to learn, mainly on the largeness of the type in which his letters have been printed, comes forward as the chfiüi pion of the Tutorial system in teaching and the intramural system in residence. Dr. Temple, the distinguished Master of Rugby, now advocates the Non-Collegiate system of free extramural lodging, but he has been convicted by Mr. Meyrick of the very serious offence of having changed his mind on this matter within the last dozen years. Neither side in the dispute have as yet put out any views as to whether the temptations to immorality which are supposed to be so inextricably bound up with every system of out-lodging, are or are not necessarily more potent against a miii when in Oxford than they would have been against him if similarly housed in Birmingham, or Wigan, or anywhere save under his father's or mother's roof.
