Oxford Colleges Crumble
But Always Get New Fa°
OXFORD, Oct. 29. (/P)—Oxford col
leges are crumbling away, but they
have never done anything else. Near
ly all Oxford is built of a soft local
stone which carves easily into rich
and fanciful shapes but begins to
j flake and rot away after the first
decade. After a century or so it is
necessary to dress down the whole
outer surface of the buildings and
lay on an outer surfacing of new
slabs.
Some of the larger colleges are
never without builders’ scaffolding.
One Oxford firm has been occupied
for eighty years in mending the
stonework of a single college.
The great expense of rebuilding
led to the destruction of all college
ivy. Before it was stripped from the
walls this hardy climber had done
an immense amount of damage, of
i ten destroying the stone to a deapth
of several inches below the surface.
After the ivy is removed its work
S still remains and there is grave dan
; ger of falling stones until the wall
is resurfaced.
