W. L. Seaborne is a man who appears to do a little of everything. This term lie has played a little rugger, soccer, and hockey.

W. Allport has quickly fallen into the ways of 'Varsity life,. and is already the typical undergraduate. He is to be congratu-- lated on playing regularly for Pembroke 1st XI at hockey.

We remain, Yours etc., THE CAMBRIDGE OLD PETERITES._

exforb letter,

Oxford,

March, 1933._

To the Editors of " The Peterite," Dear Sirs,

We are sure there is little need to inform the School of events. in Oxford. The Union's resolution " not to fight for King and Country in any circumstances," was the outstanding feature of the term. It aroused the Press, the Public, and the outsideworld. "Yellow-bellied cowards," "woozy-minded communists," " children's hour," were some of the extracts from references to. the youth of Oxford in the London Press. Some papers, on the other hand, credited the Union on having brought the issue of World Peace more in the forefront than has ever been done in recent years.

Oxford is looking forward to the reconstruction of the theatre ; the new structure, we are promised, will be the finest of its kind in the provinces.

To come to the members of the club :-

D. B. Kingston (St. John's) has drawn a few more pictures- some from life. Lucky are the gifted.

E. F. Williams (B.N.C.) has been observed twice in the precincts of his college. Work, he tells us, claims most of his time. He is a familiar figure, however, on the Iffley road—a district strangely popular with thirsty young men.

J. R. Mawer (Lincoln). We have been asked to deny the rumour that Mr. Mawer was the leader of the small band that raided the Union and tore up those eventful minutes. Besides playing rugger for his college he still displays that childish enthusiasm for his work.

J. C. Hill (Balliol) must be congratulated on his sterling performance in the Finals of the rugger "cuppers" for his college. A feature of his rooms is the row of foreign-bound literature, procured mainly abroad and necessary, he informs us, for an intimate knowledge of his subject.

S. K. Kooka (B.N.C.) is also to be congratulated on his lucky escape one dark night. Sudden acquaintances formed at that time are always dangerous, especially if one party be Mr. Kooka in 'a motor car, the other a telegraph post.

J. A. Brittain (B.N.C.). We fear he takes his work a little too seriously. However, he has time enough to learn of the existence of other more pleasant occupations. Mr. Brittain is yet young.

J. L. Brockbank (Balliol) awoke one morning to find himself famous. Suspicion centred on him as being the famous Cambridge Stroke, Mr. Brocklebank, disguised and in Oxford, having come here to change the fortunes of this University in the coming Boat Race. It did not endure, and to console himself Mr. Brockbank plunged headlong into politics. He now reads the Leader page of the " Daily Mail." (In a personal interview Mr. Brockbank denied this allegation.—Ed.)

C. E. T. Moore (Hertford). The only respectable member of the Club. His activities bear no comment.

D. H. West (St. John's). Played for his college in the hockey " cuppers." The School of Forestry takes up a great deal of his time. He is looking forward to spending a great part of his next vacation in the Black Forest. We believe it is to satisfy his enthusiasm for a closer study of Nature.

We remain, Sir's,

Yours obediently,
