...Cambridge. Oxford men, he discovers, are introverts and Cambridge men extraverts, and thus explains to his own satisfaction why Cambridge has continually beaten Oxford in the boat race and in other sports during recent years. The contention is at least not without interest. Are such generalizations possible with regard to American universities...
