Address Lists

HE Address Lists of Rhodes Scholars and Old Oxonians, which have hitherto bloated the proportions and sadly de

layed the issue of the October number of this magazine, will hereafter appear in January. As the number of individual names to be checked and circularized waxes by steady annual increments, it has become increasingly difficult to include both the address lists and the personal notes within one cover and to get the copy for both collected and revised in time for October publication. October is the best season for the personal notices: it is in the summer months that most vacations (if any) occur and that hard-working citizens are most willing (if ever) to write personal letters with a human and reminiscential flavor. The time between the July and October issues is, therefore, the best time to get news about people. It is quite the worst time to get news about where they are likely to reside during the coming year, for the greatest number of removals occur in the autumn, and the period when our October issue goes (or should go) to press is just the period when the highest proportion of our subscribers are buying new houses or seeking domicile in strange cities. Thus the publication of the October issue has been greatly retarded in the past, and our printers' bills greatly inflamed, by the arrival of flocks of new addresses after the magazine was in type. By deferring the address lists till a season of less vagrancy we expect to gain both in accuracy and in promptitude of issue, and also to avoid the gorged appearance and impossibility of keeping within its cover from which the October number has of late been suffering. In the event of a still higher proportion of our subscribers succumbing to the appeals of the Business Manager, it may be possible to arrange a fifth issue in the year, to contain the address lists and to be printed between October and January. This would be the most convenient practice.

The Nineteenth Sailing Party of Rhodes Scholars

T

HE main body of the Rhodes Scholars selected last December sailed together for Oxford on the Leviathan, leaving New York on October 1st. This year a very graceful innovation was introduced by the management of the United States Lines, owners of the Leviathan, who gave a dinner to the departing Scholars on board the ship the night before she sailed. Other invited guests included President Aydelotte and Mr. Philip Kerr of the Rhodes Trust, Mr. Humphrey Milford and Mr. R. W. Chapman of the Oxford University Press (who happened to be in this country), and various old Rhodes Scholars living in New York and vicinity. Cronkhite presided; important speeches were made by Mr. Kerr, Aydelotte, and by Dr. Abraham Flexner of the General Education Board, who, it was announced, will follow Sir Robert Borden (see above, p. 132) as second Rhodes Lecturer at Oxford. No great number of stowaways for the voyage has yet been reported.

Delaware Law in the Middle Temple

A press dispatch, headed "Rhodes Scholars Give Books to England," announces the gift to "the Middle Court" (sic) of England of a valuable set of Delaware law reports by J. I. Boyce (Delaware and Trinity, '10), H. R. Isaacs (Delaware and Exeter, '05), W. Prickett (Delaware and Trinity, '14), C. L. Ward, Jr. (Delaware and Merton, '21), and others. In reply to an inquiry Isaacs explains the circumstances of this amenity, which establishes a precedent that could usefully be imitated by other old Oxonians in the interests of the Rhodes Memorial Library which is planned for Rhodes House at Oxford, as well as by friends of the Middle Temple in other states:

It was brought to the attention of our Bar Association that the Library of the Middle Temple contained only a very small part of the law reports of this State. Besides, Mr. D. Campbell Lee, of the London Bar Association, exhibited to one member of our Bar a rather keen desire to have the remain

ing reports in the London Library. The notion was then conceived of presenting the reports to the Middle Temple. In all forty volumes were sent forward. There were nine volumes of Houston's Reports, two volumes of Marvel's Reports, seven volumes of Pennewill's Reports, seven volumes of Boyce's Reports, one volume of W. W. Harrington's Reports and fourteen volumes of our Chancery Reports. The cost was rather considerable. James I. Boyce, William Prickett, Christopher L. Ward, Jr., and I contributed a reasonably substantial amount towards the cost and to the amounts so contributed was added a sufficient sum to accomplish the purchase of the twenty-six volumes of the Law Reports. The members of the Bar adding to our contributions were William S. Hilles and Josiah Marvel. The fourteen volumes of the Chancery Reports were presented by the Delaware State Bar Association. You will understand, therefore, that the gift was to "The Library of the Middle Temple." The donors were the four Rhodes Scholars referred to, Messrs. Hilles and Marvel and "The Delaware State Bar Association."

You will also understand that the volumes of the Reports already in the Library, together with the volumes sent forward, make up a complete list of all the Law and Chancery Reports of this State.
