O knihe

Excerpt from Oxford at the Cross Roads: A Criticism of the Course of Litterae Humaniores in the University

The option has thus been set before me, either to consent to the exclusion of Classical Archaeology, includ ing even inscriptions, from the course in Humanity at Oxford, or to make a formal and elaborate appeal to the intelligence and conscience of members of the Board, and beyond it to all the University. After long consideration, I have decided on the second alternative.

I would beg Oxford readers to remember that what I em criticizing is a system, a way of regarding things, not individuals. I bring no charge against my col leagues, several of whom are as strongly Opposed to the faults of the system as I am myself. Ou the other hand I am as fully alive as anyone to the fact that in some respects Oxford has stood in the past, and stands now, in a more favourable position as regards Humanist studies than any other university. Only I do not think that she can hold that position much longer, without certain changes in her course.
