Excerpt from Oxford as It Is: Being a Guide to Rules of Collegiate Residence and University Requirements for Degrees

Tmc present publication by the American Club of Oxford aims at bringing down to date their concise circular issued in May, 1 9 00, for the purpose of presenting information with regard to Oxford conditions of study in terms intelligible to American students unfamiliar with English University and College systems. The scope of the original circular has been very much enlarged, chiefly in the hope of answering before hand questions which are somewhat prematurely arising in connexion with Rhodes scholarships. N early all of these inquiries have come from Americans, and since the Rhodes scholarships are not Oxford University or College scholarships, the University and the College authorities will not be called on to deal with the Rhodes scholars until that indefinite future time when, having been elected by the trustees, they appear and knock at the Academic door. On the other hand, intending Rhodes scholars cannot well dispense with accurate information as 'to conditions of admission, resi dence, examinations, and degrees, because, under the terms' of the will, not one of them can drew his stipend until he shall have passed through that door. A statement of Oxford regu lations may, however, thanks to the publicity required by a democmticel constitution, be accurate without being oliicially made. Ou behalf of the American Club of Oxford, the under signed has attempted such a statement, made, be it said, solely upon his individual responsibility; but not without several in vitntions and requests from fellow-membere of Congregation.
