Scope and content
Oriel College - EH is very sorry that WW and Cordelia Whewell will be unable to visit them. EH's 'College having no attractions for visitors we have made no new regulations on account of the Railroad, except that the Porter is desired to be more vigilant. Some late robberies indeed in the rooms have made us keep our College gates shut during the dinner hour'. The Bodleian has had more visitors since the Railroad has been completed but no new rule has been created. Indeed EH is not aware of any College making any new regulation. 'The University has made no Statute respecting the young mens use of the Railroad; but I believe some few colleges have forbidden it, without special leave granted. We have rather waited to see whether any actual evil occurred'.
