Excerpt from John Viriamu Jones and Other Oxford Memories IT is not an easy task to write the story of the chief interests and activities of forty years ago - of life as it was then lived. The account first written must be sifted and re-sifted and examined from every point of View.

Statements of fact which seem to the writer to be beyond suspicion or doubt must still be confirmed by reference to every available source of information. Above all, if the record is to be of value, its preparation requires the combination and the careful comparison of the impressions and memories of many men; requires too, if that most difficult of attainments, accuracy, is to be approached, the searching and critical inspection of many eyes.
