The Oxford Outlook. (119 High Street, Oxford. Monthly during term.
2s. 6d. net.)—Oxford has returned from captivity, and already the mental renaissance after the war has begun. One of the first fruits is to be seen in this new monthly maga- zine, which, says the Editorial Preface, aimsat being a means of expression for those who seek to rekindle the life of the Univer- sity. The President of the Oxford Union contributes a vigorous And somewhat revolutionary article on this same renaissance, in which he protests against any return to " an academic Junkerism." " A University that is to breed men for the new world must go back to the method of discussion, not lecture, of intercourse instead of commonplace book." Lord Charnwood supports the now popular plea for an English-speaking Fellow- ship by means of a fuller understanding between America and ourselves, but would leave it to the " spontaneous and un- advertised working of natural sympathies;' and not attempt to put it into leading-strings. Other interesting articles are a history of Greek at Cambridge, by the Vice-Chancellor of Cam- bridge, and " Yugoslavia and Italy," by Mr. M. B. Gavrllovic, the President of the Oxford Serbian Society. The first number is also distinguished by a poem by Mr. Masefield.
