Excerpt from Science Progress in the Twentieth Century, Vol. 4: A Quarterly Journal of Scientific Work and Thought, July 1909 to April 1910It is clear that the comprehensive message offered to Oxford by her Chancellor, diplomatically indefinite though it be in most respects, is bound to lead to changes of importance - such a ball having been set rolling will not be stopped until some of the existing asperities have been flattened out and the roads made more serviceable. The physician is so rarely prepared to heal himself that when he is seen to attempt an honest and thorough diagnosis of his ailments, any effort he may make to cure himself is bound to attract not only the sympathy but also the support of interested onlookers. On this occasion the onlookers are more than interested - those who have any eyes at all for the situation are aware that our Empire is most deeply concerned in a proper solution being found of the many serious problems which confront our two ancient Universities. The newer Universities alone cannot carry us to salvation: at present they are dependent, as all things educational in this country are more or less, on Oxford and Cambridge.A few months ago, the writer ventured to say in presence of a select audience at Cambridge that nothing astonished outsiders like himself more than the masterly inactivity the University (and the sister University also) displayed in taking charge of her own affairs.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
