354 CAMBRIDGE LETTER.
CAMBRIDGE O.P. LETTER.
DEAR SIRS,
It is our duty at the end of each term to write to you a letter wherein are recorded all our deeds of valour. We do not shirk this duty, for by this letter we hope to impart the spirit of University life—and we venture to suggest no one has so great an opportunity of enjoying the true joie-de-vivre as the undergraduate—to those whose fortune it is to be now at St. Peter's : that they will follow in our footsteps by residing in this University and endeavouring to uphold the traditions of School and College.
M. Storrs-Fox has as usual been taking exercise on the river and rowed in the Emmanuel second Lent Boat. Among other amusements, he has participated in a Whist Drive, having the pleasure of winning the prize for the lowest score. This, a valuable piece of bedroom furniture, he condescended to use as a decoration for the Emmanuel duck pond.
A. T. Blair is in residence for the term taking a course of " bugs and drugs " in which most of his time is occupied. It is regretted he will only be up for this term and we wish him every success at Bart's.
R. C. Parkinson rowed in the same boat as Storrs-Fox. The rest of his time seems to be spent in assiduous study whereby he has attained great learning.
E. G. Bullen is at present working for a Mechanical Drawing Examination. Drawing, we understand, is not an occupation at which Mr. Bullen excels, but we wish him the best of luck. As captain of Caius Hockey he had the pleasure of leading his side to the semi-final round of the Inter-Collegiate Cup.
B. B. Bridges free for a while from the worry of examinations, has had what may be described as a very pleasant term. His attitude on the pillion of a motor-cycle with his golf clubs round his neck, is always to be admired. As a surgeon he is shaping well although for the present we would rather not trust ourselves to his lancet.
G. A. Delgado has been boxing this term, and reached the sem-final in the 'Varsity trials. Being unable to attend meetings his movements up here are not too well known : maybe he is engaged in historical research.
