THE OXFORD LETTER
OXFORD.
December, 1958. Dear Sir, Before an account of our activity, it is with great sorrow that we heard of the death of Mr. Burgess. There is none of us here who had not, either in study or out-of-school activity, come under his influence, and our awareness of our debt to him in many ways tempers with gratitude our real sense of loss. Regret we also feel at the news that Mr. Crews is to leave the School, but we offer our congratulations on his new appointment, and are indeed delighted at his success. As to our more personal matters, your correspondents have heard so many loud and frequent complaints from the O.P.s in this University of personal injustice done to them in these letters, that it is our high intention to provide you with as true a record as we are able of their more reputable activities. We trust that the accuracy of our report will be above reproach, and we bear in mind that it will be in the hands of others next term. Before we record the individual activities, we must make mention of two events of the term. The first was the arranging of the O.P. dinner for the 5th February next term, at which we hope to welcome as many O.P.s from 'Cambridge as possible. The second was the visit of an R.A.F. officer disguised as E. C. Sedman. We were pleased to see him. We also welcome two freshmen this year, but of these more later.
