Author Description

Excerpt from An Oxford Correspondence of 1903 The list came out yesterday, and I am sorry to say that Jim has not found his way into the first class. To say the truth, however, I did not myself ve'ry confidently expect to see him there; and as I know' that you yourself are thinking much more of the i.c.s. Examination of which he is just going to be a victim, neither of us will need any great amount of consolation. I fear Jim himself will be disappointed, for he liked the work and took more or less interest in parts of it, -but the excitement of the i.c.s. Competition will probably help him to forget the other. No one else will mind. Why it is I hardly know, but it is the fact that the Greats list attracts much less general attention now than it used to.
