The purpose of this paper is to establish comparison criteria, by which the oscillatory and asymptotic behavior of linear retarded differential equations of arbitrary order is inherited from the oscillation of an associated second order linear ordinary differential equation. These criteria are new even in the case of ordinary differential equations.
