OXFORD TRANSPORTS, OR UNIVERSITY EXILES. 235 Albanians doing penance for past offences. A Scene sketched from the Life. Horace Eglantine is proposing "the Study of the Fathers," a favourite College toast, while Tom Echo is enforcing Obedience to the President's proposition by finishing off a Shirker. Dick Gradus having been declared absent, is taking a cool nap with the Ice-pail in his arms and his head resting upon a Greek Lexicon: in the left hand corner may be seen a Scout bearing off a dead Man, (but not without hope of Resurrection). Bob Transit and Bernard Blackmantle occupy the situation on each side of Dick Gradus; in the right-hand corner, Horace's servant is drawing the last Cork from the parting bottle, which is to welcome in the peep o' day.
