Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Hand-Book for Visitors to Oxford The University, although, as it may seem, an abstraction or ideality, is nevertheless a corporate body, styled and to be styled by none other name than the Chancellor, Masters and Scholars of the University of Oxford in its palpable form it embraces nineteen colleges and five halls, the former all corporate bodies also, and governed each by its own head and statutes respectively, as they are set forth in the pages following. These however can only legislate for their own particular societies; the business of the Uni versity, as such, is carried on in its two assemblies or houses of congregation and convocation. In these the chancellor, or his vicar the vice-chancellor, or in his absence, one of his four deputies, termed pro-vice chan cellors, and the two proctors, either by them selves or their deputies, always preside.
