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’.
