Abstract
OXFORD.—Whatever be the fate of the new Moderations Scheme now being considered by a Committee of Congregation, the present academic year will be remarkable for the vigorous onslaught made by the younger Faculties on the time-honoured requirement at Pass Moderations of “a little Latin and less Greek.” The waste of a year over classical work having no direct bearing on the final school chosen by the student had become so great a tax on time and patience that, when a blow was at last struck at the evil, but little opposition was expressed quarters where small sympathy with modern studies was thought to dwell. If the Committee can agree on a working scheme, a great relief will be afforded to students in Natural Science in Oxford.
