VALUE OF SPORT.
“It can fairly be said that at Oxford there is a saner attitude towards the value of sport than at Cambridge,” is a comment made in The Isis, the Oxford undergraduates’ magazine, in a leading article dealing with Oxford’s failure to win the 1936 boat race. “At Cambridge an undergraduate is a good fellow if he is a member of the leading sporting club. Of recent years Oxford has carried off as much as 70 per cent, of the inter-university athletic fixtures and received little credit for doing so, because her successes have not included the boat race.”
