Cambridge Letter

but also up and up and up. " If ever there was a time, it is this, when all who have the interests of the country at heart should stand firmly together and keep moving." So said our Chancellor ; see to it.

We should like to congratulate the Headmaster on his building scheme and the School on its Hockey side. We hear that the scheme is to be put into operation at once, and hope that it will soon be completed.

And so to details :- J. C. CLOSE (King's). Has palatial rooms several miles out of

Cambridge. He makes wheels go round in the Engineering

Laboratories, and has bought 100 pianos, which he plays in rotation. J. N. EMERY (St. John's) has succumbed to work, which seems to consist largely of collecting fossils from Trinity Great

Court. Has acquired his Varsity colours for shooting, and, by being on two committees of the Union, procures large quantities of food at the public charge. N. A. HUDDLESTON (Trinity) has an extensive range of hats,• of every shape and colour. He goes for 23-mile walks and reads History, or so he says. Otherwise, he is completely. respectable. L. A. LITTLE (Sidney Sussex) is more of a doctor than ever.

He has acquired, under highly suspicious circumstances, half a skeleton, which answers to the name of Clarence, and eats his chocolate biscuits. He claims that he plays golf, but has not been seen doing so. R. W. MOORE (Sidney Sussex) won an oar in the Lents. It certainly won't get up his stairs. He is becoming a typical rowing man, but contrives to cut up fish and lizards in his lighter moments. He provides excellent tea on demand. V. W. G. MUSGROVE (St. Catherine's) is, undoubtedly, the

Invisible Man, and has, somewhat naturally, not been seen this term. H. E. V. SUMMERS (Queen's) is a supremely elusive bird, but is sometimes seen at the Union. He has played Hockey for

Queen's, and does Botany. The precise whereabouts of his lodgings are unknown, but a clue is at present being followed. N. W. D. YARDLEY (St. John's) has added a Wanderers'

Hockey Colour to his Half-Blue. He played several times for the Varsity. Is studying Law in quite a serious manner ; we suspect with some ulterior motive.

And so, Sir, wishing the School every success, we beg to remain,

Oxforb letter.

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

The Hilary term finds Oxford grim rather than " hilarious." " Cuppers " and " Toggers " make the worthy tobacconists shake their heads in sorrow. While right away from the internecine contests between the colleges there is a Boat. Not all the failures of the past eleven years can shake our confidence. We are certain that after the first few minutes of the race no one in the Cambridge boat but the cox will be able to see the Oxford Boat. They will miss a fine sight !

The 0.U.D.S. produced " Hamlet " as their jubilee production. It has been the subject of much heated discussion. It was nothing if not ambitious. The Union has taken a plunge; its new dining-room was opened at the beginning of term. In spite of every effort on the part of those for the status quo, women are now allowed there as guests for all meals. Our Union members were a solid phalanx against the motion.

The Club's activities have been sadly curtailed because of approaching exams.

D. B. KINGSTON (St. John's)—Has done some useful work this term with regard to the Oxford O.P. tie. We hope St. John's benefits as much from his activities as does the O.P. club.

We trust he has recovered from his illness. J. E. C. HILL (Balliol and All Soul's)—Often to be seen striding between the Bodleian and the Codrington libraries. Would that we knew the reason ! J. A. BRITTAIN (B.N.C.)—We see so little of him that we hope it means brilliant results in the History finals in June. N. J. L. BROCKBANK (Balliol)—Is also working very hard for his finals in June. There is always a mêlée of books and papers in his delightful rooms in Holywell Manor. The spirit of stern discipline must remind the surrounding walls of old days, when this place was a convent. C. E. T. MOORE (Hertford)—The third historian to be tested this summer. Is harassed by the new traffic rules about built-up areas, because it sets a limit to his attempts to cycle from digs to college in record time. D. H. WEST (St. John's)—The Invisible Man of our number.

Has only been seen once, and then only just. R. C. BARRASS (Lincoln)—Often seen dining at the new Union dining-room. We hope he does not take too much to heart the admission of women, against which he was so ardent.
