...present I will mention only a few salient features of the place. After Chester, Oxford is, without doubt, the most picturesque city in England: I consider it more picturesque even than Chester. Most of its colleges are several hundred years old, and the style of architecture is medieval. The ancient wall of the city is still standing, and the real beauty of the place is inside the great quadrangles, where are some of the most beautiful gardens and lawns and walks in the world. I recall no city in Europe which can present a more picturesque street than High street...

Numberless schemes for improving the condition of the Dining Association have been offered. Some are worthless, others seemingly good, but the majority possess the salient objection of being impracticable. The faults usually found with the hall are generally without foundation. The price, considering all things, is moderate; the fare is very good, far superior to that offered at any house in Cambridge that furnishes four-dollar board at seven dollars a week...
