WBTTIN OXFORD FRESHMAN. IS A REAL BOY,
IVSNIF HBIB DOOMED TO BE A KING LATER ON

ALBERT CHRISTIAN GEORGE ANDREW PATRICK DAVID WET
TIN, PRINCE OP WALES, AS A COLLEGE STUDENT.
BY WILLIAM SHEPHERD. .
rs LONDON, Dec. The yobng fal
low who la tagged u tbe next king ol
at last come dut Into the
spotlight where .*the Kngliah to Ike can
Igafr him orer. He has left the palace,
where royal apron strings bound
him. and entered Oxford university.
He likes his new experience, too.
Every Oxford boy is entitled to spend
one day a week at home, but, during
tbs first two months of his stay at
school the young prince asked for no
leave of absence. ...
The first thing you discover about
young Albert Christian George An
drew Patrick DaVidWeUin (that’s the
real name of the prince es Wales) is
that be will probably be an even
smaller - t * p than king.
At It he weighs about lit pounds
and is n scant five feet in height
When he shoves his head out of
his dormitory window and yells down
to a group of classmates you see that
he is a blonde, with blue eyes, rod
cheeks and big, Vhlte teeth.
He isn’t supposed to yell out of the
window in that fashion, but the boy
la doing n lot of other things these
days that he lent supposed to do.
The royal plan for him, at Oxford
was that ha was to spend a yaar
there, practically In seclusion
for tha company of tutors, guardian*
and a few young ead particularly aris
tocratic lords. But, on this point, he
has smearad up everything. He selects
his own friends. At-* Magdalen col
lege, where he lives, he is considered
very democratic. •He end his pale

When John H. Fahey was udiu the* ,
Lord endowed him with a very work- '
able constitution and a fine w of by

say that ho has a neatly embossed j
constitution and by-laws Instead of
heart, lights and liver.

Fahey explains that the ne« nsttor

this -oommecclal sentiment” is to

And, besides, the avtatora were or

Congress, explains Fahey, ts always
