Abstract
OXFORD.—The term has opened with a greatly reduced number of undergraduates. Exact figures are not yet forthcoming, but they will certainly be small. The current issue of the University Gazette contains the names of 312 members of the University who have lost their lives on active service during the last three months, all but a very few having been killed in action. The usual lists of lectures, demonstrations, and laboratory work have been issued by the heads of the various science departments. The programme published by the School of Geography includes lectures by the acting director on geographical method and on the distribution and economic geography of primitive societies; by the demonstrator, on regional geography of the British Isles; and by Messrs. Spicer and Ken-drew, on land forms and climate. Practical classes will also be held. The Committee for Anthropology has arranged for lectures on physical anthropology, ethnology, theories of totemism, and primitive archseology. These will be given by Prof. A. Thomson, Miss Czaplicka, Mr. H. Balfour, and Dr. Marett. Demonstrations and informal instruction on a large variety of subjects connected with anthropology are also announced.
