Undergraduates with spades: the North Hinksey road
In 1874 Ruskin instigates a road-mending scheme on Ferry Hinksey Road at North Hinksey, near Oxford, involving undergraduates, partly to teach the virtues of wholesome manual labour; continuing into 1875, it enrages the University authorities, spectators and the national press. Among the diggers are Oscar Wilde, Alfred Milner and Ruskin's future secretary and biographer W. G. Collingwood.
