Take Summer Classes At Oxford, No Exams Required

A suggestion for your first and best new year’s resolution: learn something!  England’s legendary Oxford University, surely the oldest (almost a thousand years,) most prestigious in the English-speaking world, is offering a way to do it without the burden of papers and exams.

The vast and varied menu of more than 60 summer courses, called “The Oxford Experience,” is an intellectual smorgasbord – - a few that caught my eye:

From Rasputin to Putin • Cathedrals of Britain • The Victorian and Edwardian Home • Spies in British Fiction • The Operas of Verdi.
