* * * * With Oxford Movement celebrations more and

more in the air, as they inevitably will be till the culmination in July, Oxford itself appears to be troubling singularly little about the centenary. Keble and Oriel are, naturally, the colleges most concerned, and Keble promises to be a good deal more in the picture of the two. Oriel, as it happens, has a Presbyterian Provost and a Presbyterian Senior Tutor, and altogether John Henry Newman finds in his own college to-day more dispassionate admirers than ardent apostles. Added to all of which the inability of the common herd to distinguish between the Oxford Movement and the Oxford Group Movement persists.
