The Beginnings of the University. Surrounded by a band of poor scholars, Theobaldus Stampensis, a priest of Caen, arrived in the city of Oxford in 1110. His philosophy of life was new to the young generation of the day, and they gathered round him in numbers to listen with enthu- siasm to his doctrines. He was the first notable scholar to settle in a town afterwards destined to be the home of so many famous minds, and within a few years he had under him 60 to 100 clerks, the beginnings of the University of Oxford.

Friar Bacon, the famous Fianciscan monk and phil- osopher and the inventor of gunpowder, was the most scientific man of his time. Among his numerous inventions was a brazen head which was popularly supposed to answer any question put to it. At a public demonstration he exhibited the head which fulfilled the Friar's promises and spoke, to the huge delight of the audience. This delight, however, was quickly changed to panic by further demon- strations which produced fire and smoke. "OXFORD PAGEANT." Ser. Raphael Tuck & Sons' "OILETTE" Postcard 9516.
