Abstract
OXFORD.—The term that has just concluded has been chiefly noticeable for the interest drawn towards Oriental studies in the University by the building of the new Indian Institute. The visit of the Prince of Wales to the Chancellor of the University served to draw national attention to the work which Oxford, and especially Balliol College, has undertaken in respect to the training of the selected candidates for the Indian Civil Service. In spite of the failure of the late attempt to induce the University to relax its rule requiring three years' residence as a qualification for a B. A. degree in the case of the Indian Civil Servants, a considerable proportion of the selected candidates come into residence at the University; Balliol, by providing teachers and tutors in Oriental subjects, attracts by far the greatest number.
