THE UNIVERSITY LABOUR FEDERATION Sne,—As an elderly Conservative, who sees
the institutions which he loves falling in ruins around him, I get the greatest consolation from your correspondence columns. Before the last War young men at Oxford were being Socialists or Com- munists (there was no difference in those days), just after the peace there were still Socialists and Communists, and now I am delighted to hear that the Oxford Communists still flourish. And all the time they have been getting firsts in greats. Not long ago I received a copy of an undergraduate magazine. I was pleased to find that the modern poetry, political articles and modern thought generally followed exactly the precedents of 1919. How sincerely I hope that, after this war is over, Oxford will still be there, greats, blues, dons, communists, and aesthetes all complete.—Yours faithfully, CECIL BINNTY. United University Club, i Suffolk Street, S.W. i.
