CAMBRIDGE STUDENTS ARE ACTIVE DESPITE EXAMS.

Cambridge has filled once more. Today the streets have been filled with hurrying taxis and slow-moving baggage carts while the pavements have proved unusable owing to the presence every few yards of a little group of friends who have just seen each other for the first time since last term and will insist of exchanging mutual remembrances of the vacation.

The most important factor in the term is, of course, the end of Term Examinations, when the unfortunate youth who has spent his time in pleasures will come the inevitable cropper, while the studious scholar will reap his expected reward.

The fact that everyone stands on the brink of a precipice does not in any way tend to diminish the number of University activities.

Two new papers are being produced by undergraduates this term, a weekly and a fortnightly. Cambridge is used to new papers; every four years or so a paper dies and a new one is born. The Granta and The Review are the only papers which seem to show any inclination to follow Methuselah. The Cambridge Mercury will be a literary paper devoted to Drama and the Arts. The "K. P. Magazine", named after Kings Parade the famous Cambridge thoroughfare, will be a weekly devoted to news and articles of general interest.

Union Installs Wireless

The Cambridge Union Society has installed a Wireless Receiving Apparatus in their Debating Hall. Cambridge is the oldest "Union Society" in the world. Oxford Union is a copy of the older Cambridge institution and it yet lacks certain of the distinctive features of its Cambridge proto-type. It possesses no Dining Hall for instance. The installation of wireless marks another respect in which Cambridge is in advance of Oxford. The latest news is broadcasted from a loud speaking instrument each evening and concerts are also received. Most continental countries can be "picked up" and even American can be heard. Unfortunately America is not "picked up" till after 12 P. M., when all undergraduates have to be in their rooms, but no doubt a special dispensation to sit up late will be granted when any important news, such as a Presidential election, is expected to come through.

A scheme is in the air for bringing over German students to the University for a stay of a week or so. A similar scheme at Oxford roused a good deal of opposition, but as the Cambridge scheme does not confine itself to Germans, but hopes to embrace students of all other nationalities, there seems little reason to fear any violent antagonism.
