Oxford
is the home of England's oldest university
and while it is also an industrial city on
the Thames, the association with learning
and the academic way of life will always
be paramount. Even the atmosphere at Oxford
is more learned...the Thames goes by the
name of "Isis" there, from "Thamesis," its
Latin name.
Visitors to Oxford who have an interest in
architecture might be overwhelmed by the
more than 650 buildings that are listed as
historic or of merit. Visitors with an interest
in history will find enough to occupy them
as well since the city has a rather splendid
collection of museums. The city is also known
as the home of Morris Motors Ltd. which was
founded by William Morris in 1913. His first
car was the Morris-Oxford two seater, but
before a decade had passed his Morris Cowley
had become Britain's top seller, outdistancing
even the legendary Ford Model T. Visit in
May and you can enjoy the River Carnival
that grew from the rowing competition between
eight colleges.
But as we said nothing will come between
the marriage of Oxford and its university.
No matter what bits of history are made there,
visitors and students alike will continue
to go to Oxford for the learning experience.
It has been said that just walking through
the university will raise your I.Q. by ten
points.
