On Wednesday the King and Queen visited Oxford. It was
Commemoration Day, and all that the University lacked to complete its glory was a Chancellor. Honorary degrees were conferred upon the Prime Minister, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Jellicoe and Sir Percy Cox, whose invaluable services in the East we were glad to see recognized. But Their Majesties' presence was due not to the annual Encaenia, but to the celebrations of the fourth centenary of Christ Church College. We also wish to make our tribute of congratulation to the Dean, Chapter and whole Society of the College whose service to mankind has matched its age and dignity. The foundation of the Great Cardinal and his Master has nobly fulfilled on its part the hope expressed in the Bidding Prayer for " a due supply of persons qualified to save God in Church and State." * * * *
