178 could wish he was not quite so thorough in his methods. J. B. D. Chapman was seen during the term playing for the Harlequins against the University, and, but for bad weather, which caused the match to be cancelled, C. L. Troop would have appeared here for the Army. We would congratulate him on playing in the English Trial. We also had a visit from C. F. Williams. As regards the academic achievements of members of the club, J. E. C. Hill (Balliol) successfully surmounted Pass Moderations at the end of last term and has now settled down to the more serious work of the Honours School of Modern History. S. K. Kooka (Brasenose) is taking Pass Moderations at the end of this term and we wish him success. Turning to sporting activities, H. A. Patrick (Balliol) rowed in the Balliol III Togger which managed to make four bumps. J. R. Mawer (Lincoln) played "rugger" for his college "Cupper" team. S. K. Kooka boxed for the University in the Inter-Universities Competition in London, but after winning his first fight, he was narrowly beaten in the second. He is unfortunate in that there is no weight sufficiently light for him to find a place in the team to meet and, we hope, beat Cambridge. Other members of the club have led blameless, it undistinguished lives, and have no noteworthy achievements to their credit. Wishing the School every success for the future, We beg to remain your obedient servants, THE OXFORD OLD PETERITES.
Cambridge Letter. To the Editors of " The Peterite," Dear Sirs, Once more it falls to my lot to give you glimpses of the various sides of Cambridge life during the present term and to relate truthfully some of the activities of Old Peterites in residence. At the outset perhaps I ought to mention that in the interests of economy it has been found necessary to cancel the Annual Dinner, which normally is held in the early part of next term. This is a regrettable step, but one which in the circumstances seemed inevitable. The temporary depression seems to have been generally realised in Cambridge, and many festivities, including those of " May Week" are to be substantially curtailed. However, it is to be hoped that the promised prosperity will soon enable us to resume our normal course and allow us our full share of those lighter moments which are unique in university life.
