...nether classes often refer collectively to those above as "Them." Enviously they know that a man child born to "Them" can take the soft path that leads through Oxford or Cambridge and then on to Place & Power.

...Oxford. But other worsteds, stretched for races of 220, 440 and 880 yards, were soon broken by Runkel of Cambridge and Brown of Oxford, Runkel winning the 220 and 440 events in quick succession. White of Oxford won the one-mile run. Weightman Smith and Lord David Burghley of Cambridge left their guests clumping behind in the 120-yard high and 220-yard low hurdle races, respectively.
