Notes & Asides

Dear Mr. Buckley:

I seen Yoders awed artikel about good old Oxford U. Now thats a place I always wanted to read about, but it cant be all that much cause you never hear of their foodball team. Anyway, like all the artikles in your mag, it said some forein words like Apologia pro Vita Sua and right then I knowed he was one of yourn. It also told about some of the students like Jowett and Newman (I didn’t know they had jews in Oxford) and Merton and Manny and Sammy who slid in the meadow. And one guy named Duns must have wrote a poem named Scotus Oxford which must have been pretty good for old Yoder to remember it.
