PREFACE. T is with more than the usual diffidence that attends the first publication of a School Magazine that we present our bantling to a world that is generally so forward to hail a novelty, so backward in supporting an idea when its novelty has once died away. Our idea cannot claim the merit of novelty ; there have already been two attempts to establish a Magazine at St. Peter's, and both have failed . We must, then, to avoid another failure, consider carefully what our object in publishing a School Magazine must be, seeing that the success of an undertaking generally depends on a clue appreciation of this point . In the

I

first place, we must inform our readers that we do not aim at literary distinction . Whether that will follow or not is a question that must be left to time to decide . At present we wish to open a channel of communication between past and present Peterites, and supply a want that makes itself felt more and more . The chief interest of our columns, therefore, will be derived from the news that they contain, news of the School for Old Peterites, and news of Old Peterites for the School : and there will also be any items of University intelligence that will be likely to interest any of our readers . Original articles by past and present members of the School will be inserted for amusement and instruction, but we think it desirable to exclude from our publication all controversial topics on either political or religious differences, as we consider that they would be at the same time above our capacity and foreign to our purpose. With regard to our title : it was earnestly debated whether it would not be better to cast aside the ill-omened associations and cacophony of the old name, and call our production " St . Peter's School Magazine," but after a protracted discussion we decided that it would be better to retain the old name, as it would better express the combined interests

of past and present Peterites, and would savour less of the ambitious than the other . Our Magazine will be published eight times a year, at Oxford, under the management of two Editors there and two at St . Peter ' s ; and, to secure the interest and co-operation of all literary Peterites in Oxford, it is proposed that each year one of the Editors there should retire from office, and that his place should be filled up by election . After explaining the object that we shall seek to attain, it remains for us only to offer to our readers the best wishes of the season, and to introduce to them the first number of the Petevite.

PROPOSED NEW FIVES COURTS. OME months ago, on the suggestion of the Rev . F . Watson, Fellow of St . John's College, Cambridge, a Committee was formed, consisting of the Head Master and four old pupils of the School, viz ., W. H . Cobb, Esq ., Rev . G. Edmundson, Rev . F. Watson, and T . W. Badger, Esq ., for the purpose of raising a fund to add some Fives Courts, and, if possible, a workshop to the School buildings . By the exertions of the Committee, a sum of £90 was raised by private canvassing, consisting principally of £5 subscriptions . A circular was then issued by the Committee to Peterites generally, and the result of the appeal has been that a further sum of £40 has been added to the fund.

This may possibly be augmented by a small grant from the Dean and Chapter, and in any case a sum of £15o will probably be available for the purpose in view.

The cost of the contemplated improvements had been estimated at £250, but as no new subscriptions appear to be coming in, it seems best that the work should be commenced in the spring, and that so much of the scheme be carried out as the amount of the fund already raised will permit . The Committee would be glad to receive suggestions on the following points :

S

(2)

Should the Courts be closed or open, or one closed and the other open ?

Should the Workshop take precedence of one or both of the Fives Courts ?

ITEMS .

The Head Master would be glad also to receive the addresses of any Old Peterites likely to subscribe, as more money is required to carry out the plan in its entirety.

About ioo Old Peterites have been appealed to up to the present time. A full list of subscribers will be printed in our next number.

ITEMS. ANY of our readers may remember P . Palmes, one of the bowlers for the School Eleven five or six years ago . It may interest them to hear that he is at present engaged in active service in the Khyber Pass, in the capacity of Lieut.

81st Regiment, one of those in General Browne's division.

This reminds us that we shall not have the pleasure of seeing Lieut. Mitchell, 14th Regiment, at the Theatricals this year . He, too, is going to fight Afghans, though his Regiment, which has only just arrived in India, is not to march to the front until it has become acclimatised.

M

We are glad to see that C . A . Close, Pembroke College, Oxford, has obtained a Second Class in the Final Honour School of Jurisprudence.

Mr. T . Walker, late Exhibitioner of Queen's College, Oxford, whom many of our readers will remember as Classical Examiner for the Lower School last July, has recently been appointed to a Mastership at the Lorett's College, Edinburgh.

Since our Cambridge letter was written, we have received the following intelligence :—R . M . Ainslie, Pembroke College, Cambridge, stroked the winning Four in his College Regatta.

E . H . Ainslie secured the Sculls at the same Regatta.

The Inter-University Football match (Rugby Union) will be played on December 14th, and as both teams are very strong this year we may hope to hear of a very interesting contest.

AMBITION.

" S 0-and-so was a great man, but he was ambitious ." This is a common saying ; and I have long wished to discover what ambition really is, and why it is so often classed as a vice, while we are constantly being urged on all sides to aim at some exalted standard and bring ourselves up to its level, that is, in the common sense of the word, to be more ambitious. What, then, is the distinction between the two,—supposing that both classes are right, both those who exalt ambition as a virtue, and those who stigmatise it as a vice ?

We shall all readily grant that when the object sought is a bad one, the ambition which prompts an unhappy mortal to aim at that object is a vice ; but how when the object is a good one, or cannot at any rate be described as bad ? It is possible to imagine two cases with the same object, one of which would be held up to scorn as wicked, the other as a noble ambition . Let us say that a king wishes to civilize the whole of a barbarous country, a laudable object, truly, and an ambition with which every one would sympathise . But to effect that civilization he reduces the native population to slavery, and devastates their flourishing villages . Here, I take it we find the key to the matter ; it is not the object at which he aims that is at fault, but the means by which he effects it . Look at the change that has come over men's feelings towards him . Before he announced the means he would adopt he was a philanthropist, a benefactor of mankind, and one whose name ought to be written in letters of gold as an example for posterity to follow : now he is a ruthless destroyer, he is an ambitious conqueror. But he has a plea to urge,—the accomplishment of his object will bring with it results which, iii the benefits that they confer on mankind, will far outweigh the temporary evils of the means which he used . And now again he carries with him the sympathies of the fickle crowd, and he is again a public benefactor with a noble ambition, whose ends have sanctified the means he used. To turn now to private ambition, and to see how far it is justified, and by what train of reasoning.

All men agree that it is the duty of each individual to have an aim and object to which he aspires ; and the story of the Cambridge Coach who used to ask his intending pupils if they had yet found

THE AMATEUR DRAMATIC CLUB.

any worthy object on whom to bestow their young affections, in the hope that they would then be inspired to work their hardest for that object, is only an extravagant instance of the purpose of such ideal . Bentham says that the ultimate object of all men is the same, viz ., pleasure, and that men differ only in the means that they adopt to gain that end . Here again we get the means by which the object is sought, as the basis of division of ambition into good and bad . The object of all ambition is the same, and if we do not consider the means used, all ambition will be equally justifiable . But if a man injures his neighbour in his efforts after pleasure, an ill name attaches itself to him, and he is ambitious in the bad sense of the word . If pleasure, then, be the ultimate object of every man, what matter the means by which he seeks it, provided that he abstains from injuring his neighbour ? One man may seek his pleasure in total idleness, dreaming away his hours like the Lotos-eaters of old, and saying There is no joy but calm !

Ah ! why should life all labour be !

Let us alone . What pleasure can we have To war with evil ?

While another may find his ideal in a life of restless activity, ever finding something new to do, and not sufficient time in which to do it . The reason, I take it, for the praise bestowed upon the latter character, is to be found in the exigencies of society, which regards the well-regulated ambition of the citizen as conducing to the well-being of the state, and this is the standard by which most actions are judged, that those ambitions arc to be applauded by which the happiness of the greatest number may be advanced, and those to be reproved by which the smallest number gain .

OGE.

THE AMATEUR DRAMATIC CLUB. For some considerable time the members of this Club have been industriously preparing for their Annual Entertainment, to be given on the evenings of Monday and Tuesday, December 16th and 17th.

Mr . Moss, who has filled the post of Stage Manager so well for two years, has been unable to undertake it this year, but Mr . Yeld has

ti

kindly acceded to the unanimous wish of the Club, and taken his place . It should, perhaps, be said that though Mr . Moss has not filled any official position, he has, so far as his engagements have allowed him, rendered invaluable assistance to the Committee and the Club generally . The play of the year is to be " Twelfth Night ." In the rollicking humour of Sir Toby, the stupidity of Sir Andrew, the selfimportance of MalPolio, the wit and wisdom of the fool, the melancholy of the Duke, the refined nature of Olivia, the tenderness of Viola,— not to extend the list any further—ample scope is afforded for the display of the varied talents of the actors . " Twelfth Night " is to be followed by a capital burlesque, Clzroizoizhoton-thologos, well described by its second title, " the most tragical tragedy that ever was tragedized by any company of tragedians . " Le Maistre, considering his success in the rblc of Beef-catar in " The Critic " two years ago, ought to make a good King ; while Moss is certain to bring out Bozzzbarilinian with effect . C . Williamson, who is an excellent Viola in " Twelfth Night, " is equally good as Queen Fcullazlizzida . Altogether we sec, no reason why the Theatricals of 1878 should not be a success. If those who have to take part in them will only work well together, not merely each for his own success, but rather, each for the success of the whole, we are confident for the result.

OXFORD LETTER. The familiar appearance of black coats and white ties at every corner of the street, warns us that the Schools are on and the end of Term is at hand . Nobody is sorry, except perhaps a few very energetic Dons and some luckless individuals who expect a " plough . '' Oxford is not a lively place during the month that is just over ; thank goodness ! It is impossible to be overburdened with spirits when a damp curtain of mist hangs over everything around, when the river is flooded, when football grounds are swamps, and the very streets— thanks to the inefficiency of Oxford drainage—are not much better.

But this is, perhaps, almost too gloomy a picture, as there is always something to interest one ; and when Undergraduates in general are not blowing their nose, their interests are centred on the " Trials," the College Junior Fours, and Football ; there are even some individuals who struggle in the mire with balls and racquets and call their struggles Lawn-Tennis—I don't . But to return to the " Trials " : it is impossible to compare their merits as yet, for they have only just taken a settled form . The general opinion is that they are below the average . Only two ' Varsity oars are rowing, Hobart of the ' 76 boat, and Southwell (Pembroke) of last year's . They are not rowing

particularly well . F . M . Hargreaves (Keble) is rowing again this year as you will, of course, have seen . If strength were the only requisite, his chance of a place in the ' Varsity would be a very good one . The College " Junior Fours," consisting mainly of Freshmen, beginners in the art, stroked by "Torpid " men, are of no public interest, as their name implies . W . T . James is the only O .P . rowing in them . Football is by far the most engrossing occupation this Term . There are matches in the Parks and the mud every afternoon, and ' Varsity matches on Saturday . In both Union and Association we are very strong this year, especially in the former . A match was talked of with Yorkshire, but has come to nothing, much to the disappointment of O . P .s, who would have been glad to see C . Wood uphold the honour of his School and county . W . E . Moore and C. H . Chadwick, are both playing in the Queen ' s team again this year.

We were surprised and delighted the other day, by a flying visit from the Rev. R . Elwyn ; though only in Oxford two or three hours, he found time to see all the O . P .s here . He was looking remarkably well, and made many kind enquiries after the School . I forgot to mention that W . Y . Fausset is in the Schools (Mods), we hope to be able to record his " First " in our next . All the Colleges go down about the loth, and rejoin on the 25th of next month . I conclude my letter with a list of O . P .s now in residence at Oxford.

Rev. G . Edmundson, Fellow of B .N .C . ; T. C . Snow, Fellow of St. John ' s ; T . R . Terry, Fellow of Magdalen ; C . A . Skelton, St . John ' s; C . A . Close, Pembroke ; W . Y . Fausset, Balliol ; C . H . Chadwick, W . E . Moore, \V . T . James, E . B . Newenham, Queens ; F . M. Hargreaves, E . H . Greenhow, B . Hoskyns-Abrahall, Keble ; G . R. French, New . G . H . Dixon, T . Walker, Queen ' s ; \V . R . Rayson, Iieble ; have just gone down .

CAMBRIDGE LETTER. All Old Peterites ought to, and no doubt will, thank the originators of the scheme for setting a new School magazine on foot : and to judge from the proposed plan for its management it ought to prove a signal and unqualified success . " Tempora mutantur " : and after having left the place for a year or two, it is no easy matter to get hold of more than rumours as to its doings.

Now for news : and speak we first of the aquatic thing . There are five Peterites now up who rowed this year in their College boats, viz .,

REVIEW OF CRICKET SEASON.

E . H . Ainslie and R . M . Ainslie, Pembroke ; J . E . Stephenson, Christ' s ; F . E . Swaby, stroke of the Lady Margaret 2nd boat ; and J . P . Hubbersty, St . Catharine ' s . This Term E . H . Ainslie rowed 2 in the Pembroke Four, and his brother stroke of the winning trial Eight : Stephenson and Hubbersty have won their respective Pairs, and the latter also his College scratch Fours and Trials. The river is said to have some three feet of sewage at the bottom, in consequence whereof a huge dredger has commenced operations, much to the tribulation of many Eights . Would that we had Ouse ' s broad stream here to disport ourselves upon, instead of the muddy, tortuous, graveolent ditch, known as the River Cam . As to the athletic accomplishments, E . Mawdesley, Trinity Hall, won the strangers ' handicap at Clare, and in the Christ's Sports W . Dowson was second for the weight, and first in putting the hammer ; he is also a member of the Christ's, and R . M . Ainslie of the Pembroke Football team.

The Peterite Freshmen this Term are, Taylor, Trinity ; Storrs, St. John ' s ; C . Kitchin, Trinity Hall ; and Bellerby, Corpus . This is not a Term for scholarships or prizes, but with the exception of a few college distinctions, there are no startling triumphs to record, and we look forward with some interest to the rising generation . It is a fact worth mentioning, that there are at present in Cambridge a master, one late and two (ni failimur) present fellows, besides some fifteen individuals in statu pupillari, who have all been under the guiding influence of one and the same master : his name need we mention ?

Some persons of an enterprising turn of mind wish to introduce that admirable invention, the tram, into the streets of this venerable seat of learning : then we shall have the University Library converted into an Aquarium, and the Senate House into a Skating Rink.

Virgil would feel flattered by this : "Subjiciunt veribus prunas, et viscera torrent : They prefer plums to truth, and burn their insides ."

What a thing is ingenuity !

CRICKET SEASON, 1878.

It may be thought somewhat out of place to introduce Cricket when snow is on the ground ; but the present seems not to be an unfitting time to review the successes of the School during the year.

In Cricket it has been unusually successful ; out of sixteen matches having won eleven, lost three, and drawn two . For the first month

FOOTBALL,

13

v . LEEDS MEDICAL COLLEGE. November 16 . Played on the School ground, York, and resulted in a victory for the College by four tries to one . Play was very difficult, as the ground was covered with half-melted snow ; and, as several of the medicals did not put in an appearance, the ball was not kicked off until the afternoon was well advanced . Owing to the absence of several of their team Leeds had recruited their numbers from some of the best local clubs . About the middle of the match Wilson injured his ancle while playing back, and will not be able to play again this season . We were also deprived of the services of Daniel, our best back, who was away from school for a few days.

For the School Calvert was most energetic among the forwards, who would have done well to have followed up his example better than they did . After half-time the rain fell in torrents and completed the discomfiture of both teams. v . DURHAM UNIVERSITY. Played on the University ground, at Durham, November 23rd, and resulted in a victory for the University by five tries to two touches down . For various reasons our three most reliable backs, J . H. Daniel, Wilson, and T . Moss, were absent, and we thus played at a great disadvantage . For the University, Maughan, who played halfback, ran splendidly, and secured three out of their five tries . All these, with one exception, were kicked from the side of the field, and so failed of success, though Cranshawe, the ' Varsity Captain, kicked with his usual skill and precision . During the latter part of the time the game was much more evenly contested, and we scored two touches down (our only success during the match) in rapid succession, and when " no side " was called, the scrummage was close to our opponents ' touch-line . For the School, Douglas and Calvert ran well, and Walker and Greenhow did their best to remedy the deficiency of our backs . For the University, Maughan, half-back , was decidedly the most useful ; while Cranshawe, back, did good service with his drop-kicks and punts . Hodgson and Browning were conspicuous among the forwards.

The Old Boys ' match (return) has been postponed until the 18th inst . v . HULL TOWN (RETURN).

This match was played on Saturday, November 30, on the School ground, and ended in a victory for the School, after a well-contested game, by two goals and one try to a goal and a try . At three o ' clock

DEBATING SOCIETY.

the game commenced, Walker kicking off for the School . The ball was well returned by Plaxton, the Hull back, and after about ten minutes' hard play the Hull team succeeded in getting a try : the place-kick was entrusted to A . Hodgson, who, however, failed in converting it into a goal . Soon after this the Hull team fell back behind the half-way flag, but Lowe (half-back), after a good run, kicked a goal from the field for the Hull team . It was disputed at first, but finally conceded by the School . The ball, when kicked off

by St. Peter's, was well followed up by Calvert, as usual ; and before half-time was called he had passed the Hull backs, got the ball well behind the posts, and kicked a goal . After half-time the School team had the best of the game, and after several good runs by Douglas and Walker, Radon ran in and secured a try, but the place-kick

by Walker failed . Soon afterwards H . Daniel, who played well throughout the game, made a good run, but, being collared, passed the ball to Rogers, who in ran and obtained a try behind the posts.

Watson had just time to kick a goal before " no side " was called, and St . Peter ' s were thus left the victors by two goals and one try to one goal and one try . The touches were equally divided . Ig or the Hull team A . Hodgson, Lowe, Plaxton, and Wilson were most conspicuous.

The game throughout was exceedingly pleasant and exciting.

DEBATING SOCIETY. This Society was instituted at the beginning of the present year, under the presidency of G . R. French ; and membership was originally restricted to the Sixth Form . Shortly afterwards this restriction was modified, and the Society is now open to any one in the School who has been proposed by a member and voted for by a majority . The meetings were suspended during the summer term, but now have been resumed . The officers are, President, J . H . Daniel ; VicePresident, G . H . Wade ; Secretary, J . H . Piggin.

On Thursday, November et, GARWOOD, in a speech more remarkable for brevity than for wit, moved "That the introduction of Cremation is desirable on the score of economy and of health ." A lively debate ensued, LE MArSTRI'. leading the opposition, which maintained that the truest economy would be to reduce the unnecessary expenses of our present funeral system and not to introduce an entirely new system . With the argument of health the opposition did not attempt to deal . WADE was the most prominent supporter of the original motion, which was defeated, on a division, by a majority of one .

On Wednesday, November 27, GRIFFITH, in a sensible and carefully prepared speech, moved " That the reforms of Tiberius Gracchus were beneficial to Rome, and that Tiberius was a true patriot ." LE MAISTRE spoke strongly against the motion, and held Gracchus up to execration as a selfish demagogue . WADE and the PRESIDENT maintained that the A,,cr Pzzblicus had become, by virtue of long occupation, the property of the holders, and thought that to take it away from them was little short of robbery . On a division the motion was defeated . LE MAISTRE then moved "That no one ought to be allowed burial in the graveyards of the English Church, except he be buried by a Minister of the said Church and with the ceremony of the said Church ." Unfortunately the house seemed to be in a bewildered state as to what really was the nature of the law at present existing, as to the alterations proposed to be made, and as to the Burials Bills alluded to in the hon . member ' s speech, nor did the latter gentleman seem at all able to enlighten them . A few minor points, raised in the course of the speech, were discussed, and then, as no one appeared disposed either to support or oppose the motion, the house divided . With a charming uncertainty as to what it was all about, a considerable majority declared for the proposal, whilst several abstained from voting .

CORRESPONDENCE. 7o

the Editors of the Peterite.

DEAR SIRS,—I should like, through the medium of the Pcterite, to open a correspondence about the improvements in the School Buildings, that we have heard so much about lately . Of course it would not do for us to attempt to pry into the plans of the Committee, but it seems the general opinion here that their work would be helped on if it was generally known what the results of the alterations are to be . With regard to the levelling of the playground mentioned in the notice sent round to Old Fellows, it seems pretty clear that all hope of negotiations for the fields adjoining the School has been abandoned for the present, and that only the present ground is to be levelled . Next I should like to ask whether it is intended to remove the present Fives Courts, that nursery of our Cricket and refuge of every one in wet weather ; and supposing they are cleared away, whether the new Courts will be allowed to be used for the same miscellaneous purposes, or will be reserved strictly for Fives . It is rumoured that the Workshop will be reserved for older members of the School, and will be used principally for works of public interest, e .g . scene painting for the Theatricals ; but we hope that this report will prove unfounded, and that lockers will be set apart for little fellows to keep their tools in, and room reserved for them in which to exercise their ingenious arts . Hoping that the subject will be discussed as fully as possible .

I remain, Yours obediently, DERIT.
