Abstract
OXFOBD.—The School of Geography at Oxford was established, with the assistance of the Royal Geographical Society, in 1899. In 1921 it entered into possession of its present quarters in Mansfield Road, where lectures and practical and tutorial instruction are given and other geographical work is carried on. For some years past a diploma in geography has been granted by the University to qualified candidates, and it has lately been decided to raise geography to the status of a final honour school for the arts degree. A new professorship has been established, and the first holder of the chair will be Major Kenneth Mason, who has a distinguished record for service in France, Persia, India, Mesopotamia, and Central Asia. He will be an ex officio fellow of Hertford College. The conditions and regulations for the new honour school are not yet determined. Major Mason will take up his duties on May 1.
