The Bulletin

NO OTHER “HIGH STREET” COMPARES WITH “THE HIGH” OF OXFORD  

OXFORD, famed throughout the world as seat of learning, has crowded  

history which reaches back to the year 912, when it ranked with London  

as place of some-importance. The foundation of the early Saxon settlement,  

however, goes back even further, to about a.o. 727, when, according to legend,  

St. Frideswide established church there. Its origin was due, also, to the  

fact that the upper reaches of the Thames were fordable for herds of oxen  

at the point where Oxford now stands. The early settlement suffered much  

from the raiding Danes, apd later, because of its strategic location, William  

the Conqueror built castle there, and around it grew walled Norman town.  

During the Middle Ages the growth and history of Oxford were influenced  

by the coming of the Friars, whose store of learning and religious teaching  

attracted students from far and wide, and during the reign of King John  

(1199-1216) they numbered three thousand. It was from these early beginnings  

that England's University City developed, and, as might be expected in place  

whose growth has been so gradual, the architectural styles of its ancient  

buildings cover every period from Saxon times. The High Street, known the  

world over as “The High.” is one of the finest architectural vistas in England.  

In 1642, during the turbulent days of the Civil War, Charles held his  

Parliament at Oxford, and later defended the city as his headquarters, but in  

1646 the Royalist forces yielded to Fairfax.  

The University consists of twenty-one colleges for men and four for  

women, and, in addition, there are numerous other educational institutions  

not directly connected with the university. In recent years the majority of  

students have been, and are, “assisted,” and the University is now place of  

education for those whose means arc limited.  

In the Oxford of today antiquity and modernity exist side by side, for the  

demands of twentieth century commerce are to b'e seen in the great motor-car  

works and other modern industries for which the city has become famous.
