...Oxford and Cambridge Journal notices a case which has recently figured in the Cambridge police-courts. It appears that an undergraduate named Linklater borrowed certain sums of money from a man named Sanderson at the moderate interest of 300 per cent. As Linklater lived very fast, and as his allowance was moderate, he was unable to pay Sanderson's account when it was presented. The matter was allowed to rest for some time, and finally Linklater showed a disposition to break his agreement, on the ground that he was a minor at the time he made it.

...exponent of his character and circumstances, and with better accommodations college rooms have grown to be more inhabitable and more home-like. It seems a shame, when students put valuable engravings, books, or what not in their rooms, that these should suffer, from carelessness or absolute ignorance, almost certain injury if not ruin.

...done anything to keep up the spirits and zeal of the men who work conscientiously during the long months of the close season, as it might appropriately be called. To spectators, also, this tournament will be interesting, and probably very amusing. Any break in the winter's dulness is certain to be acceptable. The Athletic Association has shown praiseworthy activity in this matter, and we wish it would consider, at the present time, the results of its fall and summer meetings. In all of them there have been very few contestants, and among these a lack of thorough training. Some...
