OXFORD ROADS

SIR,—Mr. Robert Blake's and Mr. J. W. Brown's suggestions are too. complicated. The simple and most satisfactory solution would seem to be the incorpora- tion of Oxford University into London University. London could easily absorb' the Oxford stream as she is used to rapid expansion and her size would only be increased by about a third.

The Oxford colleges could be preserved as museums and libraries and would also provide good Parking space for cars. There would be this additional advantage for the Church of England—that the intractable problem of the congestion of Dark Blues on the Episcopal Bench Would be removed for ever.—Yours faithfully,
