Walter:

There is much good from those Oxford days that we sorely miss in our

universities these days. Its attitude to students, however, is not a feature 
of

those virtues.

 
R. Paul:


Hmm. Malcolm terrorized us at Cornell. He may have learned his approach to 
teaching at Cambridge, but not at that other place. 
As far as I know, Oxford in those days was a friendly place.
 
--- My favorite all-time Oxford quote is by Beerbohm:
 
"I was not unpopular [at school]. It is Oxford that has made me  
unsufferable".
