Abstract
A TRENCHANT article in the last number of the Edinburgh Review arraigns and passes judgment on the University of “Oxford and its Professors.” The evidence clearly establishes the facts that the lectures of the great majority of the Professors are but poorly attended, and that, in spite of the efforts of two Commissions, the relations between the University and the Colleges, regarded as allied educational institutions, are not satisfactory. On the causes of this unhappy state of things we do not desire to dwell, but, although agreeing on many points with the author of the article, we must protest strongly against one of the remedies which he suggests.
