...heading "Manuscripts" you told of the recent finding of a manuscript play by Oscar Wilde, or as you called him, Oscar O'Flahertie Wills Wilde. The matter I wish to speak about is extremely small, but, knowing TIME'S desire for accuracy in all things, I offer a correction.

If others offer him commendations he is partially assured that as a prophet he is not entirely without honor in his own country...
...whole it seems to be the consensus of opinion in the Department that, whatever the necessary fumbling of the first transitional experiments, the reading period should offer to students as well as to instructors and tutors a useful change of emphasis in their relations. Instead of being urged and harried into thinking by endless supervision, the student is offered the possibility of a period in which he may, indeed he must, interpret some problems for himself with only the aid that an introduction by lectures and tutors has afforded...
