360 J. B. Doyle has been working for the Mechanical Sciences Tripos preliminary exam. At the end•of term he was asked to row in Caius 3rd -boat ; this crew raced after two days' practice on the river. W. Allport has taken up boxing and is a member of the Cambridge Fencing Club. He has been working for the M.B. In conclusion, may we wish the School a continuance of the excellent start they have made on the cricket field this term. The Secretary of the Club next year will be W. Allport, and all communications should be sent to him at 16 Trumping-ton Road, Cambridge. We remain, Sirs, Yours sincerely, THE CAMBRIDGE OLD PETERITES.
Oxforo /Letter, Oxford, June, 1933. Dear Sirs, Of the University itself there is little to record. There has been nothing so startling as the " King and Country " debate this term to drag Oxford into prominence, nor have erring magazine reporters been thrown into the Isis as they were in our Michaelmas session. .The weather has been phenomenally kind, and we are thus deprived of, at least, one sure means of " packing." This state of affairs, however, is not without its advantages, for it renders quite superfluous the practice of writing a letter mainly about University activities—which should be already well enough known to readers of The. Peterite—instead of about the more interesting lives of O.P.s. The only difficulty of the latter and more reasonable practice is that our letter tends to develop into a meaningless chronique scandaleuse. Fortunately we have a considerable amount of sensible O.P. news to balance the lack of other. There are rumours among the younger and more refractory members of a coming revolution next October, when they hope to come more into their own after passing from the Freshman to the full-blown stage. They contend, we believe, that the Oxford O.P. Club is a pedantic gathering and seems in need of rejuvenation. So the next issue of The Peterite may be expected to contain news of startling changes.
