LETTERS AND NOTICES. The members of St. Hugh's Club may perhaps feel that some explanation is due to them for the long period which has elapsed since the appearance of the last Club Paper.

In the first place it was decided that, owing to the change which is taking place in the financial arrangements of the Club, only one paper should be issued in 1904, and the usual January Paper was therefore abandoned. Under these circumstances it is particularly unfortunate that the present Paper has suffered unavoidable delay. Miss Olivier was, however, prevented by a serious carriage accident from completing her work as Editor, and the task has devolved upon her successor. She, in her turn, must plead the vagaries of foreign posts, coupled with the counter-attractions of Swiss mountains, as her excuse for the tardiness and general deficiency of the present Paper. Of these she is only too conscious, and also of a certain ignorance as to her duties, which adds to her difficulties. On another occasion she hopes that some of these defects may be remedied, and meanwhile she begs the Club to deal kindly with all inadeqacies that they may find in the Paper.

NOTE CONCERNING THE ALTERATION OF THE CLUB

SUBSCRIPTION.

Since the last General Meeting the motion and amendment there recorded, concerning the alteration of the Club subscription, have been voted upon by the members.

A Committee Meeting was held in February, and it was then decided that the voting should be done by letter, according to the rules of the Constitution, and the result of this voting was sent to all members.

There voted for the amendment—" That the Annual Subscription be raised to 1/6, and that the Life Subscription should be 15/- for the future"-27, against-14..

The amendment was therefore carried by 13 votes.

MINUTES OF THE LAST GENERAL MEETING.

The tenth General Meeting of the Club was held on Saturday, June 25th, 1904, at 18a, Bute Street, South Kensington, by kind permission of the Misses Langston. Miss Turner, Vice-President, presided at the meeting, in the absence of the President.

I.—The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted.

IL—The Secretary read a short report of the voting on the question of the Club subscription, which had been fully discussed at the last General Meeting.

It was unanimously decided that this note should be inserted in the Club minute book.

IV.—As Miss Crick had by letter drawn attention to the need of some arrangement for the collection of Old Students' Missionary subscriptions, the matter was again brought forward. It was decided that the Secretary should, for the time being, ask the Hall Missionary Secretary to receive the subscriptions of Old Students until such time as some permanent arrangement could be made by the Club.

Meanwhile the following notice of motion was brought forward by Miss Ludwig, and seconded by Miss Tew :" That in future the subscriptions of Old Students to the various Missionary Societies should be received by the Hall Secretary appointed for that purpose."

This motion will be voted upon at the next General Meeting.

V.—A vote of thanks was proposed to Miss Langston for her kindness in welcoming the Club to Bute Street. This was proposed by Miss Woodhouse, seconded by Miss Batchelor, and carried unanimously.

A vote of thanks was also proposed by Miss.

Batchelor to the retiring officers, seconded by Miss Hamilton, and unanimously carried.

There were present at the meeting B. Langston, M. Langston, A. Malone, J. Turner, R. Hamilton, D. Ludwig, B. M. Sparks, A. Hales, H. Fear, Mrs. Cox, F. Batchelor, G. Cunynghame, C. M. Ady, I. Woodhouse, M. Tew, D. Dodwell, E. T. Bazeley, L. Dawson, L. Deneke.

The Committee wish to point out that, in accordance with the decision of the Club, the Annual Subscription for 1903 and after is 1/6, Life Subscription, 3/THE OLD STUDENTS' SCHOLARSHIP has—I am sure everyone will be glad to hear—prospered almost beyond our expectations, and it has been found possible to bring the amount offered up to _ .3o per annum. Five Old Students were elected by vote of the subscribers to form the Scholarship Committee, viz. :—Miss Wardale, Miss Rice, Miss Mammatt, Miss Woodhouse, Miss Cunynghame (Treasurer).

This Committee first met in Oxford in October, 1903, when all the members, with the exception of Miss Woodhouse, were able to be present.

It was decided at the meeting that it would be advisable to have a President and Secretary as well as a Treasurer, and the Committee thereupon unanimously elected Miss Wardale and Miss Woodhouse to fill these posts.

Various details and points raised in connection with the Scholarship were then discussed, and the following resolutions were adopted :(I) That the Scholarship should be fixed at £3o per annum for the next three years. (z) That all St. Hugh's Students should be asked to join the Fund (if they care to do so) as soon as they become Old Students, and that any extra money thus obtained should be funded towards the hoped-for renewal or increase of the Scholarship at the end of the first three years.

(3) That the Scholarship should be absolutely free and unrestricted in every way except in one particular, viz. : That the scholar will, as a general rule, be expected to read the same subject as that in which she gains her Scholarship, unless special permission to alter it be obtained from the Principal of the Hall and from the Scholarship Committee.

(4) That the money be sent to the scholar herself at the beginning of the academic year.

(5) That at least one Scholarship Committee Meeting be held annually.

(6) That the meetings shall, if possible, always be held in Oxford.

At the meeting of the St. Hugh's Council held in the Michaelmas Term, 1903, the offer of the Scholarship was made and accepted. The Council spewed much pleasure at our effort, and decided to advertise the Old Students' Scholarship for competition in the usual Scholarship examination held in March, 1904.

G. CUNYNGHAME (Treasurer).

The above report of the Old Students' Scholarship Fund was written for insertion in the January Club Paper, which was not, however, issued this year.

Since then the Scholarship Examination has been held, and Miss Mary Ottley, of Baker Street High School, has been elected as the Old Students' Scholar.

Miss Ottley offered History as her special subject in the examination, and she will read for the History School when she comes into residence in October.

In the name of St. Hugh's Club we offer her our warmest congratulations and our good wishes for a happy and successful three years in Oxford.

MY DEAR OLD STUDENTS, It is impossible more than to indicate a few of the events which have happened during the past year, and they have been so many and so various that I must begin by apologising for leaving out much that is interesting. Selection is always difficult, and often invidious, so I will content myself with the beaten track, and only tell you of Freshers, Societies, Games, and so forth.

The majority of Freshers who came up last Term have joined the Science School, but the Hall Scholar (Miss Lardelli) is reading H istory, I suppose everyone knows that in 1903 Miss Ady gained a first in History, and Miss Eppstein the Junior English Essay Prize, while this year Miss Shuttleworth obtained a First in Science. She took Geology for her Final Examination.

The Scholars this year are Miss C. G. Watson, holder of the Hall Scholarship, Miss M. Ottley, holder of the Old Students' Scholarship, and Miss G. Hough, holder of the Ottley Scholarship.

All the old Societies continue a vigorous existence, and are developing truly conservative tendencies. Last Term a United Swimming Society was formed among the various Halls. It practices in the Rhea Bathing Place. The Fritillary has developed in a new direction by establishing a column in which books by past and present students are reviewed.

For several Terms the three officers of the O.S.D.S. have all belonged to the same Hall, consequently a motion has been brought forward to the effect that in future not more than two of the officers may be elected from the same Hall. It is to be voted upon next Term. One of the most exciting debates of the year was over the motion, " Life without conventionality would be a howling wilderness."

Miss Wordsworth proposed and Miss Maitland opposed. Miss Rogers spoke third in favour of the motion, and Miss Pope, of Somerville, supported Miss Maitland.

The Tennis Cup, which Miss Pearson presented to Oxford Women Students, was awarded for the first time this year. The ownership was decided by an American T ournament. Lady Margaret Hall was

first ; St. Hugh's Hal;, second ; Somerville College, third ; and St. Hilda's Hall, fourth. Miss Tew, one of our Tennis champions, played in the Oxford Six against Cambridge.

In the Michaelin:'s Term we won all our First XI. Hockey matches. In the Hilary Term we drew against the First XI.'s of Somerville and the Etceteras, beat St. Hilda's Hall, but were beaten by Lady Margaret's Second XI. We shall be losing several of our First XI., but it is reporte:1 that some good players are coming up next October.

Boating members were very energetic last Term, and owing to fine weather the boats were in constant use. Mr. Townshend kindly coached us on the river. He could onl; come before breakfast, but a crew was always available. Our punt, the Cygnet, was condemned in the Winter Term, it was " loose in all its joints," and had to be constantly repaired.

In the Hilary Term we had an anonymous donation of £5, and after much discussion we decided to buy a new punt. It is light mahogany, and easily steered. It is called the Water Snail, but with double punting its rate of progress belies its name. The question of housing a punt is still as perplexing as ever. We really want a boat-house of our own.

There have been all the usual occasional lectures.

Music, Art, Literature, and History. The Ford Lectures, delivered by Mr. Julian Corbett, were on " The Influence of England in the Mediterranean before 1714." The Professor of Poetry lectured on King Lear and Macbeth, Sir Hubert Parry on "Various types of Audiences." Besides all these and many others, there were lectures at the various Women's Halls, among them the Hon. Mrs. Bertrand Russell gave a vivid picture of her experiences as a " hand " in a rope factory in South London. Miss Abdy told of the work in East Africa, and Mr. Lang, the Secretary, described the work of the Calcutta Mission.

There were a great many visitors to Oxford last Term. Many came to the Classical Conference, and many to be present at the opening of the Somerville Library. Of this latter we only knew by hearsay, for no student was invited for the day itself, but most of us were able to go to a dress rehearsal of the Masque which Mr. Robert Bridges had written for the occasion.

In the Hall there have been various small alterations, and we have had several donations.

Among other things we have been given a second fire-escape.

The Library has been growing apace. The memorial to Mrs. Simon took the form of the books for the Special Period of the Great Rebellion, and we have had many other gifts, consequently the Rolls Series and the Dictionary of National Biography have been sent over to the other house to form the nucleus of a Reference Library.

It is with much joy we hear that Miss Lena Deneke has been appointed Librarian, and we wish her all prosperity in her new work.

Everyone knows how greatly Miss Wardale will be missed ; here we would like to express our best thanks for all she has done for us while she lived in the Hall. We hope she will always live near us.

With all good wishes from the Present to the Past Students, I am, Sincerely yours, M. M. CRICK (Senior Student).
