Elysian Schools

Summary
When this work was published in the Oxford Magazine in 1958, it was preceded by this editorial headnote: ‘The following manuscript appears to have turned up in the Schools, though it is hard to say exactly how it can have found its way there. There is little evidence to show that this examination was ever conducted here. We have, however, consulted Professor Sir Isaiah Berlin about it, and he considers that, if it was, the candidates were dealt with as fairly as could be expected.’ The Oxford Magazine's typesetter appears to have corrupted the text at various points, but since the manuscript has not been traced, it has not always been possible to establish what the author wrote. The editor has done his best, but admits that a certain amount of apparent gibberish remains.
