The Oxford University Boll of Service, 1914-1915, edited by Mr.

E. S. Craig (Oxford University Press, 2s. net), reminds us once more of the noble work which is being done by the Universities. The exact number of names in the list is not stated, but we calculate that there must be well over seven thousand. Many of the names, of course, are those of men who have made the Army their profession; but, as the Vice- Chancellor remarks in a foreword, "for those who are in residence now, the most impressive part of the list is that of the names of men who were here a year ago, who meant to be back again last October, and who have felt the higher call and subordinated their own immediate • interests to the country's need."
