open to the student and was ex tensively searched by him according to dr carothers there has been a most interest ing dispute between three of the oxford colleges as to which is the oldest the most authen tic records available however show the date of the founding of the oldest to be in 1 292 two hundred years before colum bus discovered america oxford and cambridge are both similarly organized and are almost exact counterparts afrto size this organization is of a duplex character in that the student first matriculates under the university as a cor porate body and then identifies himself with one of the twenty two colleg-es under the t)xford organization after making his decision and signing up with the college of his choice the student will then do all his work under tute lege in
