ABSTRACT

The Oxford and Cambridge Magazine was founded by William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones while both were students at Oxford University. They were joined in the venture by William Fulford, who was to edit eleven of the periodical’s twelve issues; Richard Watson Dixon, destined to become a poet in his own right and an associate of Patmore, Hopkins, and Bridges; Wilfred Heeley, later a civil servant in India; Vernon Lushington, who became Deputy Judge Advocate General in 1869; and Cormell Price, later headmaster in several public schools. About two-thirds of the periodical was written by these men, and the remainder by a variety of friends and fellow students at both universities.
