.WhO would have wished her hest have misrepre

which authors of this type haVe delighted to give

_Turin: The atmosphere is pervaded by a rich
fragrance of rareeXoties; and - there, - languidly
stretched on a subtly-deviSeff etaieh,in the very
heart of the chaMber of Sybaris, this bower of
'roses,reclines the youthful hero of the spot,the
makr of the academic revel, wearied by the
nightly dissipation of his extravagant career,
surrounded by companions encrowned as to
_ their heads - with the metaphorical laurel
: wreaths and figurative roses, sipping the
perfect ; produce of some • priceless
vintage. Or we may change the seen& and
contemplate a different feature in the work of
these remarkable sketchers of ordinary Ox
ford life. If one of this order of novelists
- bast desired to introduce us to the night-side of
academic Usage's, he has given us a merCtri
cloudy graphic painting of what g oes on- in
these several splendid chambers owards the
small hours. He has lifted the curtain, and
we have gazed upon a youthful baud of aca
demic revellers plunging in each maddest ex-•
cess which theirinflamed imagination could
conceive. We have been told of flushed faces
and high play; of hair dishevelled, and Of
prospects ruined ; of fearful losiugs and nefa
polls winnings. Dark pools of Burgundy
have stained the Brussels carpet on, the
floor; :there has been a reckless
-waste of material, which would have
supplied the most elaborate sup
per; profusion, prodigality, and vice,---this has
been the trinity of features held up by theSe
Itunalists of the impossible to our contempla-.
tion. Or supposing the ingenious writer has
desired, for some reason or other, to contrast
this mode of undergraduate life with another
species of existence, and to introduce to us the
reading man el the period,what a dilapidated
picture of studious mortality have we not had!
Could we conceive of a more emphatic caution
to young men in general not to go and do like
wise ? Morning, noon, and night this
creature is perpetually poring in his clois
tered cell over dusty old tomes and recondite
treatises, which one enthusiastic lady repre
sents him as having " disentornbed among the
archiVeS of the 'Bridleian," it being one
of the rules of the Bodleian Library, by the by,
that no volume belonging to it shall be re—
moved from the premises. As for his social
traits, how should he have any, seeing-that his
whole existence is passed exclusively in his•

think that a double first makes a man twice as
good a elmsieal scholar as a single first, and
that nothing more is wanted to confer the' dual

standing towards that displayed by
less gifted youths in the relation of five to one.
Ile is waited on in the dingy little attic,
already referred to, by the members' whole

all the fellows, it being a necessary sequence,
in the opinion of these novelists, that the fellow

request that henceforward he will become one

• :Yet, ill spite of-all this, it is not-so very long
ago that. "tutors of thirty years' 'standing"
seized' their pen and wrote to the'papers a
series Of . reniarkable 'epistles conveying the sur
prising intelligence that o the great proportiOn of ,
our lads 4 Oxford were proceeding to-ruin
with the utmost -rapidity and the most un
swerving certainty,-,by means of that particular
atenue Of Whiclrlfgreenswardi a betting-ring
and abetting-book - are the sure symbols; that
not merely were these youngsters in the habit
Of living at a rate which their allowances and
the incomes of their fathersfailed altogether to
justify; but that it was their systematic prAtie,e
nightly to lose at cards sums which would
make respectable gamblers open their eyes ;
and that throughout the whole of the racing
season study was , impossible on the banks of
'thelsis,. because. -the - . young ._gentlemen..
who ought to be busy with their Latin and
Greek, were wholly' and solely occupied with
making up their books for the great events of
the year.. Indeed, theSe tutors, who gave us to
understand that they were in possession of the`
accumulated • experience of three decades,
vouchsafed us intelligence more alarming even
than this. It was 'no such uncommon thing,
they positively assured us,.. for young men,
(ants and undergraduates, to be either part or
entire owners of, race-horses-7-a circumstance
which they declared was perfectly well known
to the college authorities, yet winked at by
them. In fact, these gentlemen, with the air
of men who had a great. public duty to per
-form, pretty plainly let us understand that to
send a lad to Oxford at the present: day,
was but to put him upon that broad and
downward-slanting road which leads to de
struction—simply, to cut for him-the first turf
of what Mr. Boucicault, it propos to his new
play, calls "The Railroad to Ruin."
Presently, however, a fact came out which
shed a new light upon the alarming communi
'cations of these 'experienced educationalists.
That their remarks should not have 'been al,
lowed to paSs unchallenged, was only natural ;
that the tutors, of thirty years' standing should
not hate turned round, and endeaVored to via
dicate the veracity of their original strictures
upon what, by a monstrous abuse of au ancient
and classical-tongue, they chose to call "the
gambling diathesis" was perhaps equally nat
ural. In the course of so doing, however,
they let eScape_ theta, an admission which
enabled people to account for the surprising
statements originally made in an altogether
new manner. According to their own - con-.
fession, the crew bile academical authorities
had not the slightest perSonal experience of
Oxford at the present day. Titters, indeed,
of thirty years' standing is just what they
were not; that was the extent of their seni
ority probably as graduates, and ac
cording to their ,own account fifteen or
twenty years had elapsed since they were
actually engaged in the work of college tui
tion. They were guilty, in fact, at once of an
abstird logical fallacy, and a most mischieVous
moral anachronism.. They,/had proceeded
upon an assumption that an order of things
which they recollected in their own time to
prevail in what were probably only a few iso
lated instances, must prevail universally in the
nresent day as welli—that the social features
this current year of grace must be
Pr' ,
_a_thdb)
identical with the social features of the Oxford
of the past,—and that undergraduate- extrava
gance must be in general now precisely what
in a few particular instances it once was.
It is thirty years since; and it is precisely be
cause the period which these newspaper cor
respondents now in view bears that remote
date, that their remarks upon Oxford Were ab
stilutely worthless, and their much-vaunted
experience altogether Irrelevant and inappli
cable.
It is almost impossible to over-estimate the
magnitude and importance of •the change
which has come over the social condition—and
it is to the social side of Oxford that we shall
entirely confine ourselves here-,in the course
of the last twenty-five, ten,
nay, _even fivd_
years. Very possibly such beautiful glimpses
of studious and simple undergraduate life as
Sir John Coleridge has given us may not
be perfect specimens of the average exist
ence which these young gentlemen actually
lead. If the ideal which Wordsworth proposed
and which he immortalized in felicitous diction,
"Plain living and high thinking," be not in both
its factors fully realized, there is certainly in
the Oxford of the present day an infinitely
nearer approacla to one of them than there ever
was. . "Plain living"'as . gainiug ground, - as--a
principle. of &illy conduct, rapidly upon the
banks of the Isis. Academic extrattaganco and
the superfluities of academic luxury are fast
disappearing,—swiftly /leasing to be salient
characteristics of the place and of its inhabi
tants. it isimportant for readers of this arti
ele to remember that we .are speaking from as
close, aCcurate, and as pen tonal a knowledge of

years •since, as it is perhaps possible
,to possess. But our abject in writing

as the undergraduate still retains his hospitable

you will have no difficulty in. doing this—aud
you will speedily and :inevitably notice the
prevalence of a very different regime from that
which existed in the days of the Consulship of
Plincus. There is no doubt about the young
sters. haying become ten ',times more quiet

lurements to systematic idleness—have almost
entirely gone out. As for suppers, those most
fatal snares of profuse academic expenditure
in the days gone by are hardly ever heard of.

,Van John
and Loo, you find, are by no means the insti
tutions that they once were; and 'as for the
" gambling diathesis," about the only noticeable
signs of it are quiet whist at f'ourpenny points.
If men are proctorized for appearing after dusk
in non-academical costume, they don't turn
'round and tell that'ollicial that if he will call in
on them to-morrow he will find some devilled
anchovies at lunch, arida hand at Ocarte; they
merely apologize, and go home to their col
leges trembling and quaking at the thought of
the morrow's interview.
No doubt instances. occasionally there are
when this even tenor of average undergraduate
virtue is broke - ii by the revelation of some' ab-
normal undergraduate deflection from the
straight path of propriety. Some one or other
"runs a !wicker," gets into debt, gets rusticated,.
and finally has to be taken away by the
father whom he has ahho7st ruined, and whose
heart he hail alMost broken. But the doctrine
of averages is of universal application, and .if
you would form a fair estimate you must
argue from the practices of a majority, not of a
distinceminOrity. Now the picture which we
have drawn of the modern undergraduate, of
his way of thinking and his way of living, is
perfectly • accurate. No doubt this young man
is occasionally iiriggish and conceited, full of
insufferable airs, and imperatively requiring
the wholesome discipline of a -punctual
course 'of' snubbing. In • the main, how
ever, the • undergraduate of the present
day is a very promising specimen of 'a healthy
young Englishman. 111. is - Nitudy and - coura - - -
gems. Athletic sports flourish with unabated
vigor at Oxford, and find with the Oxford un
dergraduate as much popularity as they ever
did. The lad is as good a cricketer as ever,
and the art of that fatally long workmanlike
stroke,.which seems destined to win Okford an
interminable series of victories on the river,
has by no means been lost. The only thing is
that upon the manly materials and prowess of
thefOxford undergraduate have been, ve,ry.gene
rally grafted new habits Of economy and study.
We absolutely search in vain, in the majority
of Oxford-colleges, to discoverthe existence of
the rowing rowdy sets which once gave them
their tone.
.Now how has all this change in the current
practices of the University—and a change un
doubtedly. of great magnitude it is—been ac
complished? We believe that there are cer
tain obvious circumstances to which it may be
referred. In-the first place, within the last few
years a very remarkable alteration has taken
place in the personnel of the undeigraduate
body. The number of those who are the sons ,
of parents of position and of wealth, are not
now, as they once were, in a majority, but in
a distinct minority; and it is the ma
jority which will naturally give the
tone to the community. The number of
open scholarships and the energetic
measures which the various college anthorities
have taken tolint - doWn all superfluous ex
penses—resulting in the most veritable mint,-
mizing of the necessary costs of a university
career—have placed a university education
_within the tpiteli.of an immense class to whom
it was forme/4y .denied. Now we must, say
'frankly that we .entertain no particular ffec
tion to the unattached student scheme; but,
,we. . must say, with .equal frankness, •
that there axe • certain unquestionable
!benefits which, .directly ,or indirectly,
it has been instrumental in. producing.
I.t . i is a manifestation of precisely , the same
spirit as that which has brought about the
measure to which we have alluded that in.;
disced, in the first place, the colleges to reduce
• their tariffs ; and it was the rivalry which the.
. unattached scheme has practically • constituted
which oompelled them to reduce these •charges
still more. To make Oxford perfectly national,
• all that was required was to make it reasonably
'eCoriomiCal.. - This has now been done, and the
consequenoe is that, seeing the number of col
lege scholarships and school exhibitions which
have ceased to be , close, and invite the most
catholic sort - of competition, Oxford is acces
• sible to every lad in the land whom it is ,likely
to benefit. • ,

i-71311t7thiiiis got tbeenlyatela -WhichAlle,Ool--
,lege authorities of Oxford have recentlylakenf
towards an economical - reform. -If they - hat*:
'almost wholly enabled the student • to dispense :
with the necessity of private tuition, tbeYllitive
• also' enabled him to dispense with the. nedes-i
sity of going outside his college walls for . the',
'p,urchase,,of certain articles which he Could Pre—
viously only procure at shops. • . • .- : , ,
- For the wares of grocery, &c., the colleges,
have them Selves opened - their own emporia. ;
,That the movement is Verymuch the 'reverse:
of popular with the town iS scarcely to be iivori-',
deredat; and we may remark that 'We are riot',
entirely convinced f IS tio tlie prudence or neces
:sity of the step. ; The sole Cause which .has.
compelled the, tradesmen of Oxford to - charge
, higher prices or their goods than those which
the colleges chargeunder the new order' of'
things, has been the long-credit system. Once,
have this abolished, and , there is not a, trades
man in Oxford dealing in such' commodities
who would not . gladly consent -to supply un
dergraduates with the articles - that. they now
purchase of their - . colleges - at. precisely,
the same price.' We . , make these re
marks because it is of , the utmost importance
that betweenthe University and' the ' town a
good understanding should exist. If,however,
by the plan which they have adopted the col
lege, authorities should have dealt the first real
blow at the long-credit system, they will have
• been instrumental inixnaferringa.-. benefit npon.
all Oxford undergraduates and the parents of
all Oxford undergraduates which it is impos
sible to exaggerate. - • • •
We havestiflielentlyexemplified the change
which has taken place. - at OXford, and have
given what appear to us the main causes of that
change. Briefly to summarize, what we have
•said conies to this : the days of- Oxford as an
aristocratic institution are over, consequently
the vices of Oxford as such have disappeared;
bencethe alarm which , parents - are ' apt to feel
at first sending their son "to study learning on
,the Isis" is, mainly groundless. Oxford is rap
idly becoming essentially middle=:cless,—mid
dle-class in all her social ideas,and middle-class
in Mos* of her views of life. She possesses, and
will henceforward possess,the faults and the ex
cellences of a middle-class institution; and-the
faults of a middle-class institution are not
those on which fashionable writers and igno
rant playwrights dwelt. We say nothing as to•
our opinion on the entire desirability of the
change: we only chronicle it as a fact. Five
years ago a great middle-class college in
1 Oxford, such as that which Queen's for in
' stance; bas'become, would have been an im
possibility. But we have Queen's, and we
know. that the impossibility is a fact. What
the pious Eaglesfield would have said, could
behave witnessed the respectable assemblage
olmiddle-class youths who congregate in the
hall tbr their daily chimer is another question. ,
We must accept circumstances as they are ;
and, from its senior tutor down .to its freshest
freshman, Queen's is the centre, and 'shrine of
everything which is middle-class. Now, we
believe that Queen's may be taken as a fair
type of the tone which the whole university a
few years hence will assume. And . yet there,
are persons who profess surprise - that the
political opinions of resident Oxford are
Liberal.
We should have been glad to have said some
thing on the subject of the intellectual aspect
of Oxford—its features and its pitfalls: But
this is scarcely the place. Scepticism, if scep
ticism be, is but a transient phase, not' a per
manent condition, and herein many anxious
parents may take refuge. What we have
mainly wished to do here, is to point out the
absurdity, The misrepresentations of the Oxford
of to-day--to demolish the idola which may
or must prevail in the popular mind•concern
ing her, and to show the social condition 'of
the University, not as it was, but as it is.

i The Pall'llfall 6' gage say :
1 The news of the illness of the Emperor
Alexander, whieh has attracted so little notice
L
in this Country', has aroused the hopes of many:
f the'Russian and Poli6h irmeoncilables. The
no 4 important among these is the party
nown as '.'Young Russia." Their doctrines

be adds.' " anything more cowardly and more
atrocious, than this attempt to excite the execu

Between the progranuni'of Vie Polish patriots
and that of Young Russia there is only one
sentiment which they share in common—a
hatred against the empire of all the Ei ussias and
a fixed dotertaindtien to destroy 'it by what
ever Means seem most available.' The weak
ness of the Poles, according to the views of
Young Russia, lies in their wish to re-,
constitute an mistotratle, ' and therefore
an obsolete form of government. The
Polish leaders are as yet unable
to realize the fact that the many will make no

and who, according to a very generally spread
belief is, like Barbarossa, to return to complete
the work which his death, in;1671 interrupted.
