THE VISITATION OF OXFORD 197 not the standard of scholarship, seems to have improved, / and this is no slight justification of the Visitors' work. * The eradication of abuses had been the object of Laud and his antagonists alike, and the proper method of attaining that object had been one of the questions involved in their larger differences. Laud's reforms had never had a fair trial, and the system which obtained at Oxford after the Restoration, in its relation to life and conduct, was far rem...oved from his. The Puritans, on the other hand, had the opportunity of putting their system to the test. It is not necessary to speculate as' to whether, quite apart from the doctrinal views involved, the new order would have been to the ultimate interest of the University and the nation. Judged by its im- mediate results, the work of the Visitors marks an improvement in many aspects of the University life, and to that extent, at all events, must be considered a success. CHAPTER VI THE FATE OF THE EJECTED CLERGY IN the foregoing chapters an account has been given of the manner in which the Episcopal Church was over- thrown and the Puritan ascendency established.
