Oxford is disturbed by an attempt to appoint a Dissenter as examiner of students in church theology, including the Thirty-nine Articles. Professor Jowett nominated Mr. Morton, a nonconformist fellow of New College. The congregation approved but the Church party rallied and defeated Mr. Morton in convocation by a great majority. Professor Jowett, who presided, attempted according to custom to address the meeting in Latin, but mixed his genders, broke down and fell back on English. This delights the Clericals quite as much as their numerical triumph.
