Father Maguire was just the man for such a dispute. A native of Ireland, a onetime student at Oxford, he went to the U. S. as a newspaperman to report a big Labor trial, became a Roman Catholic soon afterward.

...successful history of Oxford and Cambridge colleges shows how much of an educational factor the "collegiate way of life" may be.

When Byron died of fever at Missolonghi, he left behind not only his great-lover reputation, but a plain, square, tin box with part of the evidence.

Most were wildly exclamatory, heavily underlined with pages blotted and blistered with tears. Byron did not answer all the letters. Even those he promised to destroy he kept, since...
