...victory was not easy; they had to fight hard for it, but somehow, just as they have done for the past ten years, they managed to win. Yale played a cautions, careful game. They held back and waited for their opportunity and when it came they were quick to take advantage...
...seemed pretty quiet. Only a shot and an explosion at long intervals could be heard. We had travelled along the communication trench about half an hour, and were about to enter our shelters in the second line trenches when not far away came two fairly loud bomb explosions in quick succession. Then the earth seemed all of a sudden to reel. There was a commotion like the bursting of a volcano.

...registered for positions as teachers for 1916-17 to call at University 11 before leaving Cambridge for the summer. Candidates must make sure that the office has on file with each blank of registration, photographs and definite summer addresses. The lack of this information often cripples the office when quick appointments have to be made for candidates at a distance. The closest co-operation between candidates and the office is the only possible method of meeting emergency calls...
