OXFORD.—Annual Abstract of Accounts.—The abstract of accounts of the University for the year ending December 31, 1891, has just been published. It exhibits both the accounts of the Curators of the Chest and the financial position of the University institutions. The receipts show an income of £66,986 12s. 9d., against £65,175 17s. 2d. last year. The principal sources of internal income include estates £9978 12s. 8d., the University Press £5000, University dues £11,153 5s., examination fees £5659 1s., degree fees £9600.
