From the blurb - "The Oxford University Chest is that august university's quaint term for its treasury, so called because its curators used to keep the cash in an iron-studded box. Sir John Betjeman's book is, therefore, aptly named, for it is a treasure-house of amusing sketches of university life, lyrical tributes to Oxford's pastoral pleasures, and characteristically pungent architectural judgements. First published in 1938, and reproduced here without revision or retrospective embellishment, An Oxford University Cbest is a delightful period piece, an unashamedly sentimental evocation of the charms, beauties, and absurdities of Oxford. For Betjeman there are three Oxfords: 'Christminster', 'Motopolis', and the University. 'Christminster' is the market town of Hardy's Jude the Obscure, with its narrow streets, terrace-houses, local pubs, and cheerful community spirit. 'Motopolis' is Betjeman's name for the industrial invasion of the town begun by Lord Nuffield's motor car factory. But the University is the real focus of this book - its ridiculous yet magnificent pageantry, its bewildering vocabulary ('Schools', 'Torpids', 'subfusc'), and above all its 'characters'. We meet Professor Harpoon, pottering along unchallenged in his field of Medieval Ichthyology; 'Buffy' Bounce, an old 'Blue' not overburdened with grey matter; pompous, port-swilling undergraduates with imposing titles; dim cocoa-sipping undergraduates with flat, unmemorable surnames; omniscient 'scouts' (college servants), the uncrowned kings of the colleges, to whom no don or undergraduate is a hero. Over a third of the book is devoted to an architectural tour of the town and university buildings, in which factual information is enlivened by anecdotes and accounts of relevant historical events. This rich mixture is complemented by Moholy Nagy's remarkable photographs, Osbert Lancaster's irreverent line drawings, and etchings of the town's magnificent buildings. The Oxford that Betjeman describes may no longer exist, and perhaps it never did. There is no doubt, however, that this book offers a magical distillation of the charm that Oxford still exerts over every visitor or citizen." Non-authorial inscription on front free endpaper, wrappers rather yellowed, otherwise Good.
