Epigraph
“‘Home of lost causes’—this is Oxford’s blame;
‘Mother of movements’—this, too, boasteth she;
In the same walls, the same yet not the same,
She welcomes those who lead the age-to-be.”
“Much have ye suffered from time’s gnawing tooth,
Yet, O ye spires of Oxford domes and towers,
Gardens and groves, your presence overpowers
The soberness of reason.”
WORDSWORTH.
