After dinner the men gather in little knots about the bulletin-boards or drift into the Common-room, there in the College club-rooms to spend a few minutes over the newspapers, writing notes, consulting the bulletins, athletic reports and predictions, or engaging in conversation over coffee-cups and a quiet smoke. Or little groups go off to this or that room for ‘coffee’ and a social hour or evening; while many go straight away to libraries or work-tables. The possible divisions for the evening are too numerous for even a summary; but of the serious possibilities there are numerous debating and literary societies in every College. There are University Clubs, literary, musical, social, political; the Union Debates, parliamentary in their training, occur every Thursday evening; on Sunday evenings the Balliol Concerts provide excellent programmes of music, open to undergraduates; under town auspices and under University auspices, Oxford is given opportunity throughout Term-time to hear much of the best musical talent; visits and addresses by the leaders of English political and ecclesiastical thought are frequent, and are thoroughly appreciated by the undergraduate body. An attempt to describe the difference between the activities of one Term and another would lead too far afield. Three times each year the men ‘come up’, spend eight weeks in Oxford, and go down again for the three Vacations, which last six, six, and sixteen weeks respectively. No small amount—in the case of many men the major portion—of the student’s ‘work’ is done during these Vacations. To some men the Vacation is the ‘dull season’ and Term-time is play-time; to others Term-time is a season for filling up notebooks and Vacation a time for learning what has been written into them. To some the object of life seems to be reading; to others, athletics and sports in general. There is no ‘dull season’ in Oxford athletics. Football, hockey, lacrosse, &c., are played in the two winter Terms; rowing goes on the year round, as does track practice; tennis, cricket, and the ‘slacking’ forms of river exercise are favourites in the Summer Term. The Oxford-Cambridge Rugby match is played in the Christmas Vacation; the Oxford-Cambridge Boat-race and the field sports take place in the Spring Vacation. The pleasures of Oxford Summer Term, ‘Eights week,’ ‘Commem.,’ and Henley, lead to the realm of poetry and have no place in a handbook.
